The New Jersey Devils have already landed two major pieces for the 2019-20 season without losing a rostered NHL player in Jack Hughes and P.K. Subban. The free agency period truly kicks off July 1st at noon, although players and teams have been able to talk for a while.
After drafting Hughes and acquiring Subban, the Devils have checked two major blocks in the need column, but there are still some that need to be addressed.
A quick scan of the roster shows a few holes; a top/six forward, a top-nine forward, and top-four left-handed defenseman.
Jesper Bratt provides flexibility in the top six as he can play either wing and had some success on Hischier’s right wing.
