Barrett Hayton Injury: Signs offer sheet with New Jersey
Hayton (upper body) agreed to terms on an offer sheet from the Devils for a one-year, $4.775 million contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Wednesday.
The Mammoth have seven days to match the offer or accept a second-round pick as compensation. The 26-year-old Hayton is coming off a down year in which he had 10 goals, 15 assists, 119 shots on net, 54 PIM, 34 hits and 29 blocked shots over 67 regular-season games. He was out of the lineup for the last 10 regular-season contests and five of the Mammoth's six playoff games due to his upper-body issue. If Utah matches, Hayton is looking at a reduced role in 2026-27 after the team brought in top-six options Vincent Trocheck and Anders Lee on Wednesday.
