In trying to figure out what would be a reasonable set of terms for Adam Henrique's next contract, I find 23 forwards who were similarly productive in their first two NHL seasons and list their first contracts after their ELC for comparison purposes.
It's a given that the New Jersey Devils should retain the services of impending unrestricted free agent and legendary Devil Patrik Elias. But how much should he get? To figure that out, I compare his stats against other over-36 year old forwards.
Johan Hedberg hit bottom in March with 27 goals allowed in ten games. The rest of the New Jersey Devils didn't look all that good in the process, winning only one game in regulation. After reviewing the 27 goals allowed, the fault lies with both.
New Jersey Devils right winger David Clarkson led the group of impending unrestricted free agent forwards in shots on net per game by far. He truly stands out as not even half of the top 35 UFA forwards in scoring averaged two shots per game.
Like the New Jersey Devils, Johan Hedberg started February off great and ended it awfully. What happened to Moose? The seventeen goals he allowed in six appearances - sixteen in four of them - get reviewed in the hopes of finding some answers.
The New Jersey Devils have eleven impending restricted free agents this summer. While most are and will remain in the minors, it's all money the Devils have to commit before dealing with unrestricted free agents.
David Clarkson is a pending UFA, so it's time to look back and determine what exactly he is worth to this team going forward. Has his scoring the past two seasons been a fluke or can he be effective for the Devils (or someone else) in the future?
With Johan Hedberg finishing the 2013 season with very poor numbers, now is the time to start reviewing the goals he allowed in attempt to dig deeper into what drove his stats down. This post deals with the 7 goals allowed in January and April.
It was a season of tremendous disappointment for Devils fans. The highs of last years Finals run were replaced with lots of frustration. It wasn't all so bad, though, so lets be optimists and find some of the non-awful from this season.
The 2013 season is over for the New Jersey Devils and so it's time to look back a bit and give out some player awards. They range major ones like Team MVP and Best Defenseman to offbeat superlatives were decided by the writers at In Lou We Trust.
The Devils have yet to give up
Now that the Devils season has officially crashed and burned, it's time to take a look at what lies ahead this summer. A lot of free agents, a draft hosted in Newark, and a falling salary cap all mean it'll be a interesting off-season for Lou & Co.
Martin Brodeur has an overall save percentage at 90% and with the New Jersey Devils now out of the playoffs, the goaltending may be a reason why they failed. In looking at Brodeur's save percentage splits by situation, it's not as simple as it looks.
The New Jersey Devils finally scored their first goal in over 7 periods when Ryan Carter beat Ilya Bryzgalov to the top corner in their 3-0 win on Thursday night. This breakdown shows how it all happened from the Devils' blueline to the goal itself.
The Devils are outside of the playoffs looking in, and hope is barely alive for them. This post looks at the importance of the two games versus the Hated Rivals.
Reports state that the New Jersey Devils will take on their hated rivals, the New York Rangers, at Yankee Stadium on January 26, 2014. This quick post reacts to the recent news about the Devils playing in an outdoor game.
The New Jersey Devils are winless in their last nine games and they are most likely not going to make the playoffs. This post argues why Peter DeBoer should not be fired regardless.
The Devils Scoring Woes, did the predictions from earlier this season pan out, or are the Devils really that bad?
New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov elbowed Brad Marchand in the head in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Boston and received a four game suspension for it. This post touches on the play itself and what the Devils defense will do without Volchenkov.
The Devils had enjoyed a lot of success in the shootout since it was created prior to this season. That has turned around on them in a big way this year, and in a short season, they are feeling the sting of those lost points.
The New Jersey Devils have not won in their last seven games. This summary of the ongoing slump reveals that the Devils aren't shooting well, especially at even strength.
Adam Larsson has been a healthy scratch in recent games. That's namely because he's a victim of the New Jersey Devils carrying too many defensemen on their roster; not because he's young or that Peter DeBoer supposedly doesn't like younger players.
With the Devils falling out of a playoff spot on Thursday, I question whether they even have the depth at forward to make the playoffs.
Devils stay mostly quiet, but acquire veteran forward and former Devils draft pick Steve Sullivan from the Phoenix Coyotes for a seventh-round draft pick.
Today's the last day for NHL teams to make a trade - and they have until 3 PM EDT to do it. This post is an open discussion post for users to discuss all the deals teams have made, will make, and what the Devils did or did not do.
