Thoughts on the New Jersey Devils’ offer sheet to Barrett Hayton
Frank Seravalli: “Seems like a perplexing #njdevils offer sheet for Mammoth forward Barrett Hayton.
There is no real cap crunch and a 1-year deal at $4.775 source confirms it is an easy match.
Utah has seven days to decide. Question becomes: Would #TusksUp trade Hayton for a 2nd otherwise?”
Chris Johnston: “The crux of the decision facing Utah: If they match Barrett Hayton’s offer sheet from New Jersey, they’re not allowed to trade for one year, which would walk him right to unrestricted free agency next summer.”
