Devils Target Hayton in Aggressive Move | New Jersey Devils News

The New Jersey Devils just dropped a massive one-year, $4.775M offer sheet on forward Barrett Hayton, forcing Utah Mammoth to match or risk losing him—and a second-round pick in 2027. At 26, Hayton’s a solid defensive presence with 155 career points, but Utah’s already stacked with high-paid forwards including Anders Lee and Vincent Trocheck. Matching would lock him in for a year and make him UFA, forcing Utah to either commit long-term or let him walk. Mehta’s move is bold, aggressive, and fits the Devils’ rebuild—Utah has one week to decide.
