About the event
The New Jersey Devils are set to make a significant impact in the 2025–2026 NHL season. Following a pivotal 2025 NHL Draft Lottery victory, the Devils secured the first overall pick, a rare opportunity that could reshape the team's future.
Top prospect Matthew Schaefer, a highly promising defenseman, has received medical clearance and is expected to be a cornerstone of the Devils' defense.
In addition to the draft, the Devils are undergoing a strategic retooling. The team is actively seeking a new general manager, with candidates like Jarmo Kekalainen, Marc Bergevin, and Mathieu Darche under consideration. The appointment of a new GM is anticipated to bring fresh perspectives and direction to the team.
Key players are returning to form, with Mat Barzal and Semyon Varlamov both recovering from injuries and expected to be ready for the upcoming season. Their return adds depth and experience to the roster.
