Editorial  

Seamus Casey (D) – The 22-year-old right shot defenseman has spent parts of the last two seasons with the Devils, recording a combined eight points (4g, 4a) over 16 total games. The Florida native was named to the AHL All-Star roster each of the last two seasons but was unable to attend due to injuries in both years. It is uncertain whether he will be with New Jersey or Utica to start the 2026-27 season. 

Lenni Hameenaho (D) – The 21-year-old right wing recorded 26 points in 37 games with the Comets as a rookie last season. In February, he made his NHL debut with the Devils and posted eight points (2g, 6a) in 33 games with the NHL club. It is uncertain but a strong likelihood that the Finland native will be with New Jersey to start the 2026-27 season.  

Jeremy Wilmer (F) – The Rockville Centre, NY native is undrafted and just concluded a four-year collegiate career. He spent two years at Boston University, where he was teammates with Shane Lachance for one season, and the most recent two years at Quinnipiac University, serving as an alternate captain this past season. The 22-year-old left wing recorded a career-high 41 points (15g, 26a) in 38 games in his first season with Quinnipiac.
