Team: 2023-24 New Jersey Devils
Initial Creation Date: May 17, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Link: https://www.nhl.com/devils/video/tom-fitzgerald-press-conference/t-277437418/c-17238751

-- Coach: Lindy Ruff will return as coach
-- Burnette, MacKinnon: staff getting paoched is sign of where organization is.
-- On Free agents: won't evaluate on just playoffs...it will be "the body of work".
-- UFAs: Some of their UFAs have "priced themselves out" of Devils future.
-- Severson/Graves: Have earned their right to UFA.
-- Goaltending: was happy with goalies this year. The team plays better in front of Akira.
-- Haula: Said trade was right move. He was "right piece". Has started negotiations with him yet.
-- Luke Hughes: He will be big part of team next year.
-- Simon Nemec: Made "huge strides"
-- Topias Vilen ("The Villain Kid") has big future as well.
-- Foote: "An example of proper player development". Played some center. Has "big plans for him".
-- Bratt: Sounds close on Jesper Bratt extension...."framework of a deal"...but may not be max term.
-- Jesper knows what he wants. Ball is in his court.
-- Meier: Hasn't started on Meier deal...will be talking with Meier's agent.
-- On NJ...he wants people that want to be in NJ. Best advocates are the players themselves.
-- Timo knows Devils think its the best place for him.
-- Draft: Doesn't have a 1st round pick, but "may get one" (with smile)


My guess on what it all signals…
- Big RFAs coming back (doubt both on 8-year deals)
- Other RFAs tbd
- Graves and Severson likely gone
- Haula may return
- Will be some promotions next year
- Topias Vilen may get chance to make team next year
- He is a believer in Foote
- If Brunette goes, Holtz’s biggest advocate goes
- Could sell someone at draft for a pick.

Will be interesting off-season

The villain is an underrated sneaky good defenceman. I hope he does well.

What does it sound like he could project to be? A top 4? A top 6? A depth defenseman?

You also didn't sign Sharangovich? I think and hope he's still part of the team. Great middle 6 winger especially since we drafted him in the 5th round.

Honestly I think only a top 6 but I think he could be a really good third pair guy. I only got to see him at the juniors but really liked his play. Just seemed steady and in position most of the time. I could be wrong on his projection but I see a good shut down guy with him. Basically kind of like Seigenthaler. Also playing that many games in the SHL as a 19 year old and not being a top rated prospect, there is something to be said about that.

I think we could see Sharangovich making his way out. Fell out of favor down the stretch and might be in the Devils interest to recoup some assets and free up a spot for a new guy. Will be interesting to see what they do with him. Development kinda stalled this year. Wonder if he's already reached his ceiling

He can skate very well. Was primarily a defensive dmen when drafted but has continued to develop, offense popped beginning of this season in Liiga. And for a while, he was in gold helmet.

Fitzy talked about him in the same breathe as Luke and Nemec, so clearly thinks highly of him.
