Malek was drafted 100th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.

Steeves was part of the trade that sent Jacob Markstrom to the Florida Panthers earlier this offseason.

The Devils signed David Rittich to a one-year deal with $1.0M.
With the recent departure of Jacob Markstrom in a trade to the Florida Panthers, the New Jersey Devils shored up their goaltending depth by acquiring veteran David Rittich.

New Jersey has signed Nico Daws to a two-year, $1.1 million AAV contract ($2.2M total).

Tufte, the 25th overall pick of the Dallas Stars in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, has seen success at the AHL level the past few seasons, but hasn't been able to turn that into an extended NHL look. The 28-year-old forward scored 56 points (32G / 24A) in 64 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL).
