Jersey are the ones that signed the guy FROM Utah.
It could’ve left scar tissue…or NJ still wanted Hayton and saw a pretty obvious way to get him so did it. Doesn’t mean there had to be malice behind it at all.moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑04 Jul 2026 09:11 amBubble4427 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2026 18:40 pmWhy would New Jersey be unhappy?moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑03 Jul 2026 13:53 pm looks like NJ isn't happy with Utah. signed Barrett Hayton to an offer sheet that was accepted

This didn’t come out of nowhere. According to Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects, the two clubs had a deal in place during the 2026 NHL Draft that Utah ultimately backed out of. That unfinished business clearly left some scar tissue.
