Devils Daily: Toffoli Extension Update, Ullmark Staying Put in Boston

When you think about it, it’s amazing what the New Jersey Devils have been able to do to retain their players.

General manager Tom Fitzgerald did an excellent job extending Jesper Bratt for an unbelievable price. Timo Meier agreed to take less for an opportunity to win. Even Erik Haula’s contract is extremely reasonable.

Everyone in the locker room has seemingly bought into whatever Fitzgerald is cooking. Maybe he paints a really good picture of what the future holds. Now, he’s already in talks to retain his next player. More on that later.

Elsewhere, a Devil returned to the ice yesterday, the Bruins are likely holding on to their goaltending, and the Sharks potentially inquired with Calgary for blue-line help.

Let’s do that hockey.
