In a move that signals a renewed commitment to competing in the highly competitive NHL, the New Jersey Devils have signed veteran forward Anthony Mantha to a two-year, $9.5 million contract. The 28-year-old forward brings a much-needed boost to the Devils' offense, which struggled to find consistency last season. Mantha, a former first-round pick, has shown flashes of brilliance throughout his career, including a 35-goal season with the Detroit Red Wings in 2019-2020. With this signing, the Devils aim to bolster their roster and push for a playoff spot in the tightly contested Metropolitan Division.
