After the New Jersey Devils’ elimination in the second round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs, free agency looms large over many players. With just five forwards and five defensemen under contract for the 2023-24 season, the Devils have lots of decisions to make, including on Yegor Sharangovich.
The New Jersey Devils shuffled their lines all season long, and no player was caught in flux more than Yegor Sharangovich. With the additions of players like Ondrej Palat and Erik Haula, and Lindy Ruff’s insistence on playing Jesper Boqvist, Sharangovich’s average ice time dropped an eye-watering 2:05 from 2021-22.
