The New Jersey Devils should have absolutely no questions about the next move they should make heading into the 2026 offseason.

It goes almost without saying, at this point, that the Devils will need to make significant external additions to their roster this summer to start moving back towards Stanley Cup contention, but they will also need to keep some players of their own, too.

Atop that list is none other than rookie winger Arseny Gritsyuk, who only continues to get better in his first professional season in North America.

Gritsyuk, 25, is a pending restricted free agent, having played the season on the one-year, entry-level contract he signed with the Devils back on May 6, and he is, without a doubt, a keeper, and one due for a raise.
