Devils, Ondrej Palat agree to five-year, $30M contract. Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat (18) celebrates scoring against the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of an NHL hockey game ...

The 31-year-old native of the Czech Republic had 18 goals and 31 assists in 77 games last season. Originally a seventh-round pick in 2011, he has been a core member of the Lightning since a breakout campaign in 2013-14. Palat has been a clutch performer for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the post-season, helping the team reach the Final this year after winning the Stanley Cup the previous two years.

Left winger Ondrej Palat is signing with the New Jersey Devils, a league source confirmed ESPN's report to NJ Advance Media Wednesday night.

He recorded 48 goals and 46 assists in 138 playoff games. In 628 games, Palat has 423 points (143 goals and 280 assists). In Tampa Bay, Palat won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2020 and 2021.

The Lightning and Palat, one of the team's top playoff performers, can't work out a deal to stay in Tampa Bay.

In January, Palat became the seventh Lightning player to reach the career 400-point mark. Namestnikov — who came up with the Lightning after he was drafted in the first round in 2011, playing for Tampa Bay from 2013-18 — provides versatility. In the 33-year-old Cole, the Lightning get a big, physical defenseman who can kill penalties. Palat’s 48 career playoff goals rank second on the Lightning’s all-time list, trailing only Nikita Kucherov (52). “So I knew that was going to be challenging, but there was, I think, a very strong willingness on both sides to explore all the possibilities. He will likely slot into the team’s third defenseman pairing on the left side.

Star free agent forward Ondrej Palat has signed with the New Jersey Devils early Thursday morning, moving on from his former team.

The 31-year-old will boost a Devils team looking to take the next step next season. Signing Palat gives the Devils a top-six winger the team had desired. However, Gaudreau shockingly decided to sign with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The two-time Stanley Cup champion has cashed in big in free agency.

According to The Athletic’s Eric Stephens, the Anaheim Ducks were one team interested in the winger. Palat was one of the league’s top free agents and came in at number 11 on Daily Faceoff’s free agent board. In 77 games this year, the two-time Stanley Cup Champion scored 18 goals and 49 points.

John Romano | The salary cap has eviscerated their roster, but the Lightning have made some clear-eyed choices to keep the window of contention open.

In this case, if you want to have a boat parade, you’re eventually going to run aground on the salary cap. “It’s just the reality of the competitive system that’s in place,” BriseBois said. “This is just the reality of (the) situation,” Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois said. The Lightning have five players — Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman and Andrei Vasilevskiy — who are among the very best in the world at their positions. And maybe, as it turns out, that won’t be such a bad thing. They still have a shot at glory a year from now. The Lightning might even have three consecutive Stanley Cups with a very good chance at a fourth. So are the Lightning less imposing today? Whatever the cause, this is the new reality. If the salary cap was not an issue, Palat, Ryan McDonagh, Blake Coleman and a few other players would still be around. To be fair, this day has been coming for a long time. Ondrej Palat is gone, and there is no replacing that Lightning juju.

The New Jersey Devils may have missed out on "Johnny Hockey," but they wasted no time signing Ondrej Palat to a five-year deal afterward.

However, as a team with little money available, they just couldn’t match the offers being made for him, which will be a major blow to their lineup. While he is happy to talk about just about anything from cows to cars to video games, hockey will always remain one of his favorite pastimes. In the 2021-22 regular season, Palat scored 15 goals and 48 points in 77 games played, which weren’t terrible totals, but was off his scoring pace from 2020-21.

The focus is on his contributions in the short-term, and whether he can help the young Devils team reach the next level.

After midnight, the New Jersey Devils signed Ondrej Palat to a five-season contract worth $30 million. Palat works hard, complements offensive talent, ...

As much as I like how he plays, how he can fit in the top-six, and I think he contribute a plenty of little things, I do not know if there is enough substance to justify a contract this large. He got a winger in Palat that has a positive reputation and a skillset that complements the Devils as well as a history of playing well off of more talented offensive players. The other wanted the Devils to go out and get a stronger, more powerful, beefier winger to supplement a small top-six. Palat has only scored more than 20 goals once in his career and that was in his first full season in the NHL back in 2013-14. There was really one player to really fit that bill that was available, and they wanted Johnny Gaudreau. They did not get him. To be fair, it was likely that whoever was going to sign Palat was going to have to offer a contract like this. Which in of itself is not something to really praise, but that is the reality of the current NHL and how most teams operate with the hard salary cap. In 5-on-5 play, Palat put up 28, 23, and 33 points in each of the last three seasons. Palat has 143 goals and 423 points in 628 games. (Note: He did play 55 in 56 games in the 2020-21 season, he played in 55 out of 56 games. He has appeared in 75 or more games just three times in his career: his first full season in 2013-14 (81 games), his second full season in 2014-15 (75 games), and last season (77 games). While he did appear in a nice 69 games in 2019-20, this means Palat has missed at least 13 games in most seasons in his career so far. Palat was one of the notable wingers available after yesterday’s free agent signings and the Devils got him.

The Devils were determined to get an experienced left winger in free agency and did just that overnight Wednesday.

That degree of consistency along with the young forwards in New Jersey can make Palát a valuable signing for the Devils. Speculation on Wednesday suggested that both Gaudreau and Palát would sign with the Devils to give the team a pair of scoring left wingers. Palát is 31 years old and has spent all 10 of his previous NHL seasons in Tampa Bay. He scored 143 goals for the Lightning, helping them claim consecutive Stanley Cup titles in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
