The New Jersey Devils have 14 free agents to deal with this offseason. Tom Fitzgerald has a lot of decisions to make. Six players can walk for nothing at the start of unrestricted free agency. After such a successful season, bringing everyone back might be the right move. However, in realistic terms, that’s not possible.
The Devils are expected to have around $34 million in cap space next season. However, they must make room for Jesper Bratt and Timo Meier’s new deals. That will take up at least half of that available cap space. Then, with the rest, the Devils have to fill nine positions.
