The New Jersey Devils are shaking up their front office as new General Manager Sunny Mehta puts his stamp on the organization. On Friday, the team announced it will not renew the contracts of Assistant GM Dan MacKinnon and Senior Advisor Chuck Fletcher—moves that signal a fresh chapter for the franchise.

Mehta, who took over hockey operations on April 20 after being hired from the Florida Panthers, is wasting no time reshaping the leadership team. His résumé includes helping the Panthers capture back-to-back Stanley Cup titles, so expectations are high in New Jersey. At his introductory press conference, Mehta made it clear he would conduct a thorough analysis of the entire organization before making any decisions—including the fate of head coach Sheldon Keefe, whose future became uncertain when longtime GM Tom Fitzgerald and ownership opted for a new direction.

MacKinnon’s departure marks the end of a decade-long tenure with the Devils. He joined the team alongside former GM Ray Shero and earned a promotion when Fitzgerald took the reins. Fletcher, meanwhile, spent the last two seasons as an advisor to Fitzgerald, bringing decades of front-office experience to the role.

For Devils fans, these moves are just the beginning. With Mehta at the helm, the team is clearly prioritizing a championship-caliber culture—and that means tough decisions like these are part of the playbook. Stay tuned as the new GM continues to build his vision for the future.
