Devils Pivot: Pursuing a Top-Six Upgrade After Hayton Offer Is Matched

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).

Canes Obtain John Carlson Rights, Start Negotiations Ahead of Free Agency

The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired the rights to defenseman John Carlson from the Anaheim Ducks and will negotiate a potential deal before Carlson hits free agency on July 1; the Ducks received defense prospect Kyle Masters and pick 162 in return, with no pre-arranged agreement in place yet. Carlson, 36, posted 60 points last season and could immediately bolster Carolina’s top-pair and power-play, but the team must navigate about $11 million in cap space, potentially complicating a fit with Nikishin, who is reportedly on the trade block. Anaheim is expected to let Masters explore free agency, while Carlson’s addition could significantly upgrade the Hurricanes’ blue line as they chase continued Cup contention.

Blues Open Sell Mode as Trade Talks Target Five Core Players
