What happened: Jessica Campbell is set to become New Jersey's manager of player development, with Bryan McCabe joining as vice president of prospect personnel, per Emily Kaplan. Campbell comes over from Seattle's coaching staff, while McCabe arrives after a long run in Panthers executive ranks.

Why it matters: The additions give the Devils two senior hires focused on prospect evaluation and player growth ahead of the 2026 season. Campbell brings a high-profile coaching background into a development post, while McCabe adds front-office experience to the club's pipeline work.

What to watch: Watch for formal confirmation from New Jersey and whether more staff changes follow as the organization sets its development group before camp.
