New Jersey Devils Extend Offer Sheet to Center Barrett Hayton

The New Jersey Devils have extended an offer sheet to Utah Mammoth center Barrett Hayton, marking the NHL’s first such transaction since 2024. Hayton, a 22‑year‑old two‑way forward with strong skating and defensive instincts, is viewed as a high‑upside prospect.

The move could spark a bidding war among rival clubs. Devils aim to add youthful depth to their blue line with the signing.
