In a shocking move, the Arizona Coyotes' division rivals, the New Jersey Devils, have made a bold offer sheet to Coyotes center Barrett Hayton. The Devils have agreed to sign Hayton to a one-year contract worth $4.775 million for the upcoming season, a significant increase from his current salary. The move is a major coup for the Devils, who are looking to bolster their roster ahead of the new season. With Hayton's signing, the Devils are likely to face a challenge from the Coyotes, who may try to match the offer sheet and retain their young center. The NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement allows teams to match offer sheets, but if the Coyotes decline, Hayton will become a Devil for the 2024-25 season.
