The Devils are tapping the Panthers organization to lead them back to championship relevance, agreeing to terms with Sunny Mehta to be their new Director of Hockey Operations, a position which will also include the general manager position.
Mehta, 48, was the assistant general manager for the Panthers since 2023, and head of analytics, a position he held since being brought on in 2014.
Mehta replaces Tom Fitzgerald, who was fired shortly before the end of the season after 11 years with the organization, the last two-plus leading hockey ops and being GM.
My take: Mehta's a former professional poker player. Right now, he's holding a 6-8 off-suit. Let's see where it goes.
