Happy June, everyone. We are just a few months away from the start of another New Jersey Devils season, and I cannot think of a place I would rather share it with other fans than here. This is All About the Jersey, a haven for Devils fans and all who want to thoughtfully discuss hockey. On Friday, John bid farewell to the site. I am sad to see him go. I have been reading his work here since the In Lou We Trust days, as many other members of the site have.

In asking McGill to seek other opportunities, Sheldon Keefe got the opportunity to pick a second assistant for his coaching staff.

Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images Today marks our final set of pending free agent profiles for the 2025 offseason. Today, Tomas Tatar and Dennis Cholowski will be profiled. These players do not have anything in common, but neither figure to be the guys who make or break a team competing for the Stanley Cup at this stage of their careers. While Cholowski has had plenty of NHL experience, he has not been able to rise above depth usage over the last few seasons.

Fortunately for them, even if Tom Fitzgerald does not find himself trading into the first round, there are still plenty of players picked between 33 and 224.

Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images Yesterday, Jared kicked off our pending free agent posts with a profile on Luke Hughes. While Luke Hughes projects to be one of the most important players of this era of Devils hockey, today features a presently more marginal case.

Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty Images In John’s post on Friday, responding to the Tom Fitzgerald and Sheldon Keefe end-of-year press conference, he dove into Fitzgerald’s statement about depth scoring. For today’s article, I wanted to poke deeper into that question, determining where the fault lines lie most in the team’s offense. Fitzgerald said in response to one question from the media, “Oh, I think players underachieved, for sure.

Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty Images When you ask yourself, what sank the New Jersey Devils on the ice in 2024-25? Would you say: A — the offense, B — the defense, or C — the goaltending? In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, when the Devils were bounced in five games, a fair assessment of what happened may very well focus on two things: the power play’s inability to score and the meltdown in the second period of Game Five.

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images One of the most enthralling stories of the early 2024-25 New Jersey Devils season was Paul Cotter’s goal-scoring explosion for six goals in the first 12 games of the season. However, he did not pan out as a consistent scoring option, faltering into more of a fourth-line role, sometimes playing above his performance level on the third line.

Photo by Jonathan Kozub/NHLI via Getty Images With the New Jersey Devils season over, members of the team gathered for exit interviews on Thursday. While it seemed that many were hopeful of things to come, the Devils did begin to divulge the extents of their respective injuries. Most of the injuries being dealt with come from the blueline, which may not be very surprising, considering the defense-first game the team has played over the last season.
