New Jersey Devils agree to terms with Tomas Tatar

New Jersey Devils: The New Jersey Devils have signed unrestricted free-agent forward Tomas Tatar to a two-year contract with a $4.5 million AAV.

New Jersey signs a top-six winger that can play with either Jack Hughes or Nico Hischier. Tatar is excellent at even-strength play and had 12 power-play goals in his last two full seasons with the Montreal Canadiens.

Yegor Sharangovich re-signs with New Jersey Devils

New Jersey Devils: Yegor Sharangovich is under contract with the New Jersey Devils for two more years at a cap hit of $2 million per season.

Sharangovich made a name for himself early in the season with a game-winning overtime goal versus the Boston Bruins. From there, the young Russian forward scored 16 times and had 30 points in 54 games.

Sharangovich is a pretty versatile forward that can play left-wing or center. He will still be a restricted free agent after the 2022-23 season.
