Thoughts on the Recent Jersey Devils’ offer sheet to Barrett Hayton
Frank Seravalli: “Looks like a perplexing #njdevils offer sheet for Mammoth forward Barrett Hayton.
There is no such thing as a real cap crunch and a 1-year deal at $4.775 source confirms it’s a straightforward match.
Utah has seven days to come to a decision. Query becomes: Would #TusksUp trade Hayton for a 2nd otherwise?”
Chris Johnston: “The crux of the choice facing Utah: In the event that they match Barrett Hayton’s offer sheet from Recent Jersey, they’re not allowed to trade for one 12 months, which might walk him right to unrestricted free agency next summer.”
