Mattias Tedenby - W - Devils

Mattias Tedenby has reportedly agreed to a one-year, one-way contract worth $600,000 with the New Jersey Devils, according to Renaud Lavoie of RDS.

He missed six weeks after being cut by skate and suffering a severe cut to the right side of his face on Feb. 15 during an AHL contest in Adirondack. He was able to return to the lineup on March 30. Tedenby, who was eligible for restricted free agency, appeared in just four games with New Jersey this past campaign.

Peter DeBoer - C - Devils

New Jersey Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek is believed to be close to bringing in at least one minority partner and according to the The Bergen Record, co-chief executive officer of BHP Markets Marc Wade could be brought on board.

There may be as many as three other investors coming in as well, which would help the team's financial issues. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told the The Record in an email: "Despite recent reports to the contrary, which are inaccurate, we are not concerned about the Devils' future, or the franchise's ability to achieve long-term success in Newark."

Brendan Shanahan - W - Devils

Flames CEO/president Ken King says Brendan Shanahan is a candidate to join Calgary's front office but won't replace GM Jay Feaster.

Shanahan admitted Friday that he met with Flames management last week and there was speculation the NHL's czar of discipline was in line to replace Feaster. "This is not a death watch," King said Monday. "I can tell you we are now on a long-term process to add depth to our hockey operations. We want to get back to where we should be, and this is something we think is consistent with that. We have a GM, and Jay is involved in this process." It remains to be seen if Shanahan might be offered a front office position or what sort of role he would have with the Flames.

Peter DeBoer - C - Devils

According to a source with direct knowledge of the situation, New Jersey owner Jeff Vanderbeek missed an interest payment and now risks defaulting on its new loan.

A missed interest payment in April of nearly $3 million has the team looking to raise as much as $20 million by selling a minority stake. The Devils declined to comment on the situation and the NHL, which has already aided the club financially twice before, said the story was inaccurate but they declined to give specifics.

Brendan Shanahan - W - Devils

Though the details are cryptic, Brendan Shanahan admitted that he met with Calgary Flames management this week.

Could it be for a front office position? GM Jay Feaster admitted that the team is rebuilding on Friday. Perhaps Shanny might end up being part of that process ...

Travis Zajac - C - Devils

The New Jersey Devils were essentially ignored by voters for the NHL awards.

The Devils had a mediocre season with no player really standing out. Travis Zajac did receive one second-place vote for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (he came in tied for 46th) while Adam Henrique and Ilya Kovalchuk finished 25th and 38th respectively in the Frank Selke Trophy voting (awarded to the best defensive forward).

Peter DeBoer - C - Devils

New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello doesn't regret firing coach Claude Julien in 2007.

Julien spent one season with the New Jersey Devils, had a 47-24-8 record, but was fired by Lamoriello with just three games left in the campaign. He then was hired by the Boston Bruins and has won a Stanley Cup with them and might win it all again this year. "I made the decision at that time with the information I had in front of me," Lamoriello said. "If you could go back and make decisions again, knowing what you know now, things would be different. You can’t look back. You’ve got to trust the position you’re in and the information you have. Nobody else has that information." The Devils have employed four different head coaches over the last six seasons. Most recently, Peter DeBoer led the team to the Stanley Cup finals in 2012-13, but his team wasn't able to make the postseason this year.

Andrei Loktionov - C - Devils

Andrei Loktionov and the Devils have come to terms on a contract for the 2013-14 season.

It is believed to be for only one season, but terms were not officially disclosed. Loktionov had his moments in 2013 (12 points in 28 games) but he really isn't a significant fantasy factor going forward.

David Clarkson - W - Devils

According to a source, the New Jersey Devils haven't spoken about numbers yet in their contract talks with potential UFA David Clarkson.

The Devils have talked with their list of pending unrestricted free agents, which includes Patrik Elias, Dainius Zubrus, Marek Zidlicky and Peter Harrold, but the discussions apparently have not gone beyond preliminary stages.

Andrei Loktionov - C - Devils

Devils GM Lou Lamoriello said Thursday that a new contract with Andrei Loktionov is expected to be finalized soon.

"He will be coming back," Lamoriello said. "He will not be going to Russia." The Kings reportedly traded Loktionov to New Jersey on Feb. 6 in part because they were afraid he would head to Russia once his contract expired this summer. However, Loktionov said the thought had not crossed his mind.

Stefan Matteau - W - Devils

Stefan Matteau has been invited to USA Hockey's National Junior Evaluation Camp.

Matteau was among the 40 forwards and defensemen listed to participate in Team USA's camp from Aug. 3 through Aug. 10, in Lake Placid, N.Y. He was one of the final cuts from last year's gold-medal winning squad.

Andrei Loktionov - C - Devils

Andrei Loktionov's agent says there's a 99-percent chance his client will sign a one-year deal with the New Jersey Devils.

Loktionov is scheduled to be a restricted free agent and, like most Russian-born players, the KHL has reportedly been sniffing around. However, it sounds like Loktionov will be staying in the NHL for at least one more season, which is good news for Devils fans. Despite struggling to end the year, Loktionov showed some real skill this season and often skated with Ilya Kovalchuk when both were healthy. Loktionov could enter next season as nice sleeper candidate for owners in most formats.

Peter DeBoer - C - Devils

Devils bench boss Peter DeBoer has already started looking for a new assistant after Matt Shaw departed to be named GM and coach of the Dubuque Fighting Saints in the USHL.

"It's still real preliminary," DeBoer said. "Lou (Lamoriello) and I are planning to get together this week at some point to discuss where we go from here. Obviously we have to compile a short list and do some interviews. With the draft in New Jersey that should be easy to do this year. We’ll try to find a suitable guy."

Tom Kostopoulos - W - Devils

New Jersey GM Lou Lamoriello would like to retain the services of potential UFA Tom Kostopoulos.

"He was as good a pro as we've had in our organization both on and off the ice," Lamoriello said. Kostopoulos was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh in March and he skated in 15 games with New Jersey.

Steve Sullivan - W - Devils

Steve Sullivan probably won't be back with New Jersey next season even if he decides not to retire.

"With our situation, with our young forwards that we have coming back, Stevie has to play in a top-six situation and I think we have to go a little younger there," GM Lou Lamoriello said. Sullivan is contemplating retirement this off-season.
