Following a lackluster 2023-24 season, the New Jersey Devils are looking to bounce back after not qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The team has already solved their glaring issue between the pipes by acquiring goaltender Jakob Markström. However, once free agency opened, they needed to make quite a few roster decisions, one of which involved the oldest member of the team: Brendan Smith. His time in New Jersey came to an end after he became a free agent on July 1, signing a one-year contract with the Dallas Stars, worth $1 million.

I wrote earlier this month that Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes would take an aggressive approach to free agency and that’s exactly what happened. Unfortunately for him, however, the players approached were not buying what he was selling. Failing doesn’t mean you didn’t try and the man in charge was candid about it too. Whenever he can be, the GM is honest with the media and the fans, which goes a long way in increasing his popularity. Here’s my opinion on his first day of free agency and what he said about it.
