After finishing as one of the worst teams in the NHL in 2021, the New Jersey Devils improved their team dramatically by making some solid trades and signings.
They traded for two defenseman: top-four blueliner Ryan Graves from the Colorado Avalanche and depth defenseman Christián Jaroš from the San Jose Sharks.
In free agency, they signed LW Tomáš Tatar, superstar RHD Dougie Hamilton, and veteran goaltender Jonathan Bernier.
These are all excellent moves and put the Devils in a much better position heading into the 2021-22 season.
