2025-26 Metropolitan Division Preview: Is it finally the New Jersey Devils’ time?

Here at Broad Street Hockey, we look at all other Metropolitan Division teams with disgust. They’re nasty! But we should always know our enemy, so let’s take a gander at what each divisional rival of our Philadelphia Flyers looks like heading into the 2025-26 NHL season.

Their offseason, in one sentence: A lot of tweaks around the edges, but it all pales in comparison to signing Luke Hughes long term.

Their biggest addition: Connor Brown, which isn’t that big of an addition; if you’re a major fan of Evgenii Dadonov, you can put him ahead of Brown, though the four-year, $3-million AAV contract Brown signed is far more impactful than the one-year, $1-million AAV deal that Dadonov is on.
