There’s that word again. Offer sheets! Yesterday, the new compensation for offer sheets was revealed. Coincidental timing given how we’ve been banging the drum for the New Jersey Devils to take that route.

If the Devils are going to utilize the tool they’ll need to make some bold moves. There are a few players who are more obvious to cut ties with, but is Dougie Hamilton an option to move on from? We explain more in the links below.

Elsewhere, Rick Tocchet’s decision looms, a perfect Pittsburgh offseason, and drama in Florida.

Let’s do that hockey

Sportsnet: What timing! We’ve been banging on the offer sheet drum lately as an option for the Devils. Well, yesterday, Elliotte Friedman revealed the offer sheet compensation tiers. You might want to bookmark this one.

Florida Hockey Now: The story that occupied most feeds yesterday stemmed from the Florida Panthers. It had little to do with their product on the ice, and minority owner, Doug Cifu, who has been suspended for inappropriate conduct on social media.

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: With the dismissal of Mike Sullivan, it certainly should look like a different offseason for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It seems like GM Kyle Dubas is trending toward a rebuild as opposed to trying to compete with an aging roster. So what does a perfect summer look like for them?

Boston Hockey Now: According to a report by Darren Dreger of TSN, free agent coaching candidate Rick Tocchet is on the verge of deciding which team he will join, and the Boston Bruins are among those he’s considering.

Philly Hockey Now: Like the Bruins, the Philadelphia Flyers are among the top candidates to land Tocchet as their next head coach as well.

Colorado Hockey Now: Entering his third summer as an unrestricted free agent, will Jonathan Drouin return to the Colorado Avalanche once again? Or will he wear new threads in 2025-26?
