Barrett Hayton’s one-year offer sheet from New Jersey was matched by the Utah Mammoth, keeping him with the team; while Shane Wright of Seattle was floated as a potential target, his metrics are mixed—strong defensive impact but underwhelming offense—making him a poor fit for Sunny Mehta’s puck-centric Devils, so they’re likely to avoid Wright.
The Utah Mammoth matched Barrett Hayton's one-year, $4.775 million offer sheet, keeping Hayton and blocking a Devils trade for at least a year. New Jersey now has about $9.6 million in cap space and six first-round picks over the next four drafts to pursue a top-six forward, either via trade or a one-year free-agent deal. Target options discussed include Pavel Zacha (former Devil, UF A after this season, around $4.75M), Tomas Hertl (big cap hit with potential retention), and Anthony Mantha (6’5” winger with scoring ability).
Utah Mammoth matched the New Jersey Devils’ offer sheet for Barrett Hayton, keeping him on a one-year, $4.775M deal and blocking a trade for the season (extensions could come after Jan. 1). The Hurricanes are discussed as a potential home for Simon Edvinsson, leveraging offer-sheet strategies amid Nikishin contract talks. Colorado Avalanche rumors suggest Connor Hellebuyck was at least explored, though a deal would require major cap moves. Detroit remains firm on Dylan Larkin, with no trade offer meeting Detroit’s expectations and Larkin likely to start the season in Detroit.
