Seamus Casey has officially signed a three-year entry-level contract (ELC) with the New Jersey Devils. The contract, worth an average annual value (AAV) of $950,000, not including performance-based bonuses, marks Casey's transition from collegiate hockey at Michigan to the professional ranks. During his last NCAA season, Casey scored 45 points, ranking him third among all NCAA defensemen. The New Jersey Devils, who selected Casey 46th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft, expressed enthusiasm about his signing, with chief scout Mark Dennehy remarking, '(The Casey) pick didn’t take long because we were looking at our list going, ‘Oh jeez. Wow. He’s here? Done. Let’s go.’'
I asked Seamus Casey if signing his 1st contract was a dream come true. He paused, agreed, and shifted, calling it a milestone toward a dream. "You dream of playing in the NHL and winning a Stanley Cup." #NJDevils My story on Casey chasing that dream ↓ https://t.co/y50oFdtHe4
