The New Jersey Devils sign winger Anthony Mantha to a two-year, $9.5 million contract, the team announces. The deal is valued at an average of $4.75 million per season. Mantha, who turns 32 in September, joins the Devils after scoring 33 goals last season with the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to reports. Multiple outlets note that Mantha had a return to form following a career stretch that some coverage characterizes as less productive than his earlier peak. One report also references Mantha’s recovery history, stating he is nearly two years removed from tearing his right ACL and completing a lengthy rehabilitation process. The signing arrives as the Devils continue an offseason roster overhaul. Coverage adds that the team has already made other moves, including trading goaltender Jacob Markstrom to Florida for Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist, as part of broader changes to the club’s personnel. The Devils’ agreement with Mantha adds another forward to their lineup on a short, two-season commitment.
