Stefan Noesen's second tenure with the New Jersey Devils is off to a great start so far. Not only was he a great net front presence, but his voice carried a lot of weight in the locker room. He exceeded a lot of people's expectations and will be an important piece for the Devils down the road. His teammates also had a lot of praise for him.

Marco Rossi is a pending restricted free agent, and he seems to be at odds with the Minnesota Wild's front office. The Wild are reportedly trying to move him due to the contract that he might demand. He had 60 points in 82 games played. The New Jersey Devils need depth scoring, and Rossi could be an option if the price is right.

Erik Haula is a well-respected veteran player, and his teammates obviously love him. But that's where the positivity ends. He had a disappointing campaign. At one point, he didn't register a single point between November 25 and March 9. He's approaching the final season of his three-year deal. The New Jersey Devils might have to part ways with him.

The first domino piece has fallen this offseason for the New Jersey Devils. Albeit it's a small one. Tomas Tatar signed a two-year deal to play in Switzerland this upcoming season. Thus ending his tenure with the Devils and also possibly his NHL career. Tatar had a few serviceable seasons with the Devils, but it was time to move on.

The Florida Panthers might have a legitimate chance to defend their title. However, one of their important pieces, Sam Bennett, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He's a physical player who also contributes offensively. Unfortunately for the Devils, he's also projected to earn a decent-sized contract. The Devils currently have $12 million in cap space.
