New Jersey Devils Rumors: Teams are interested in Yegor Sharangovich

The Devils might part with Yegor Sharangovich this offseason. As reported by Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, the Devils have received calls about Sharangovich, who is one of their pending RFAs. Elliotte Friedman of 32 Thoughts also noted that something is brewing. Sharangovich is now considered a good candidate to be traded this offseason.

2022-23 was a rather disappointing season for Sharangovich. After scoring 24 goals in 2021-22, he scored just 13 this past season. Although the 25-year-old moved down the Devils depth chart among a talented group of forwards, he was valuable on the penalty kill. Sharangovich only played three games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs out of the 12 games the Devils played, getting healthy scratched the other nine games. He earned no points in those three games.

With Sharangovich’s place among the bottom-six forwards looking rather unclear, the Devils could choose to use him as a trade chip in the near future. Fitzgerald will keep fielding calls and could strike if the right opportunity crosses his desk. Sharangovich hopes to turn things around next year, but the chance to do so just might come with a different team.
