Jul 23, 2025Another day, another instance where Luke Hughes hasn't signed his extension yet. Clearly, he will return to the New Jersey Devils, but it all comes down to money and duration from both sides. The Devils have a solid team, but nothing exceptional. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for the organization. Jim Biringer (Full Press Hockey) joined me on today's episode to discuss the Hughes situation and what's next for the Devils.

New Jersey Devils Have to Trade Ondrej Palat if They Want to Have a Successful Offseason
Jun 12, 2025Ondrej Palat's first three seasons with the New Jersey Devils have been disappointing. He has not lived up to the five-year, $30 million contract he signed in 2022. If the Devils can trade him, it could free up some cap space. This would give them more money to work with this offseason. Palat is a solid veteran player, but it's time to move on.
