This is part one of a multi-part series that will break down all of the expiring contracts that the Devils will face this offseason. The first position, Right Wing, contains one of the biggest free agents of the offseason. There are many debates as to whether or not David Clarkson should be on the Devils next year. This series won’t break down the entire free agent pool, just the ones that could be leaving the Devils. First we will start with some minor free agents.

NHL Free Agency: How the New Jersey Devils Should Fix Every Issue on Roster

Source: Bleacher Report

When a team loses three key goal scorers in the offseason and suffers injuries to two of their star players in a lockout-shortened season, it's unlikely they will make any sort of run at the Stanley Cup.

For the Devils, 2013 was not kind to the defending Eastern Conference champs. New Jersey finished 19-19-10, good for dead last in the Atlantic Division and 12th in the conference.

It was clear that the Devils were missing Zach Parise, as head coach Peter DeBoer used a number of different line combinations throughout the 48-game season. The team was also sidetracked by the injuries suffered by Ilya Kovalchuk and Martin Brodeur, an issue that led to an 11-game winless streak toward the end of the year.

I have confirmed that the Devils have re-signed right wing Mattias Tedenby to a one-year contract.

Following the lockout, the 5-foot-9, 175-pound native of Vetlanda, Sweden began the season in New Jersey, but played only four NHL games in 2012-13, putting up no goals and one assist.

Devils courting minority partner(s) to bolster finances

There have been a lot of questions over the last two days about the Devils’ financial situation, so I figured I’d write a blog post to give you the information I have on what’s going on. Hopefully, it answers some of those questions. For now, Jeff Vanderbeek remains the sole owner of the team, but is closing in on bringing in at least one minority partner to ease the team’s financial burden. Vanderbeek became sole owner late last year when he finalized the purchase of the 47 percent ownership share of Brick City Hockey LLC, which was headed by Michael Gilfillan and Ray Chambers, and the six percent owned by Peter Simon. By the time that 18-month process was completed (and announced just before the lockout was settled in early

It’s definitely a possibility – one that would make a lot of sense for the organization.   Calgary is in line for a new rink to replace the Saddledome and considering the Calgary Flames also own the CFL’s Stampeders – who’s McMahon Stadium is also looking like it’s time is running out – they may look to combine the two and build a huge sporting complex that could house both.
