The #NJDevils were often criticized for handing out too many No-Trade Clauses when former GM Tom Fitzgerald held the position. GM Sunny Mehta was able to land his first big free agent signing without adding a NTC/NMC. The Devils will have 12 players with Trade Protection if they start 2026-27 with this current roster. For starters, a No-Trade Clause (NTC) in the NHL is a contractual provision that gives a player the right to block or veto any potential trade to another team. If a team wishes to trade a player with an NTC, they must first get the player’s consent. (h/t puckpedia.com) 📸: Jennthulhu, CC BY-SA
