There are a number of intriguing free agents this offseason, and some of them are already familiar with the Prudential Center locker room. Who could be a good target for the New Jersey Devils this summer?
The New Jersey Devils are far from finished making improvements to the team. After hiring and introducing Sheldon Keefe as head coach, it’s time to improve the roster. The Devils essentially have a need everywhere. They need a bottom-six center, a top-six winger, a depth defenseman, and a starting goalkeeper.
Fortunately for the Devils, players are accessible everywhere. There are goalies available on the trade market. There are forwards and defensemen available for free agency. Tom Fitzgerald has options, but he may also return to the well to add talent this offseason.
There are a few former Devils who can very quickly become future Devils. They did some serious remodeling of the roster during the rebuild, but now the Devils are prioritizing veterans. These five former Devils make sense to be part of the near future.
