Following a challenging postseason, the New Jersey Devils are gearing up for a transformative offseason. The franchise is exploring avenues to bolster their roster after injuries hampered their performance last season. With an eye on securing more talent to contend for another Stanley Cup, the Devils' front office is reportedly exploring trade options involving star defenseman Dougie Hamilton, who is in the third year of a seven-year contract worth $9 million annually.

Hamilton's production has seen a decline, evidenced by his nine goals and 31 assists in 64 games last season. As the Devils aim to rejuvenate their defense, they may capitalize on Hamilton's market value by engaging in trade discussions with other teams. This could potentially yield valuable assets for future endeavors, particularly for teams in need of a seasoned defenseman.
