Similar to Brenden Dillon, Brett Pesce's first season with the New Jersey Devils was also solid. He wasn't afraid to block shots and knew how to handle himself.

Brenden Dillon's first year with the New Jersey Devils was solid. He provided defense, physicality, and veteran leadership. All of these qualities are crucial for a playoff team.

Jersey Joe (Pucks and Pitchforks) joined me on today's episode, and he has high expectations for Arseniy Gritsyuk. His hot take is that Gritsyuk will score over 30 goals for the New Jersey Devils this season. Naturally, he's a highly praised rookie, but that's an interesting perspective. He explained his reasoning during our discussion. We also discussed Luke Hughes' contract and shared our thoughts on the offseason thus far.Follow Jersey Joe on "X": @jerseyjoe11_NJ0:00 Luke Hughes' contract16:19 Can Arseniy Gritsyuk score 30-plus goals?!28:23 Closing thoughtsFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LODevils?sid=YouTubeLocked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHLSubscribe to Locked On Devils!Follow me on the "X" app: @treymatt4Follow the show on the "X" app: @LockedOnDevilsListen to Locked On Devils: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnDevilsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NHL podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

I decided to do something different in today's episode: react to some of your hot takes on the New Jersey Devils. There were definitely some interesting opinions. Has Timo Meier been a disappointment? Should Tom Fitzgerald be fired? Is Ondrej Palat really the problem? Hopefully, you don't pull your hair out by the end of the episode.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LODevils?sid=YouTubeLocked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHLSubscribe to Locked On Devils!Follow me on the "X" app: @treymatt4Follow the show on the "X" app: @LockedOnDevilsListen to Locked On Devils: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnDevilsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NHL podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

The New Jersey Devils have a lot of talent on their roster, but they haven't consistently surpassed expectations. If they get solid production from their bottom-six and stay healthy, could they potentially compete for a Stanley Cup? I also assigned Tom Fitzgerald a letter grade for his offseason work so far.0:00 Are the Devils Stanley Cup contenders?14:47 Offseason letter grade20:30 What needs to happen next?Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LODevils?sid=YouTubeLocked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHLSubscribe to Locked On Devils!Follow me on the "X" app: @treymatt4Follow the show on the "X" app: @LockedOnDevilsListen to Locked On Devils: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnDevilsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NHL podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.

The New Jersey Devils have a lot of talent on their roster. However, they don't have forever. They need to start making significant progress next season. Their offseason hasn't been very exciting, and it definitely raises many questions. The additions that they've made are solid, but not spectacular. Worth mentioning that Luke Hughes still hasn't signed his extension.Check out Ryan Novozinsky's article: https://www.nj.com/devils/2025/08/novozinsky-back-at-the-rink-and-covering-the-devils-again.html0:00 Luke Hughes' contract update9:01 Make or break for the Devils?21:43 Concerns regarding the offseason so farFollow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LODevils?sid=YouTubeLocked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHLSubscribe to Locked On Devils!Follow me on the "X" app: @treymatt4Follow the show on the "X" app: @LockedOnDevilsListen to Locked On Devils: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnDevilsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On NHL podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.
