Corey Masisak of The Athletic: The New Jersey Devils will have some salary cap space available this offseason. Interim GM Tom Fitzgerald has said he’d like to add some veteran players.
It is possible that whoever ends up being the GM of the team doesn’t find any free agents or trade partners. There is no need to overpay.
Potential free agent targets for the Devils could be forward Carl Soderberg and defenseman Jon Merrill. Soderberg could help mentor some of the Devils young Swedish players. Merrill wouldn’t cost much and he’d bring a little more size to the lineup.
