New Jersey Devils face decisions on Lenni Hameenaho for 2026-27 season
Summary

New Jersey Devils winger Lenni Hameenaho's future for the 2026-27 season is uncertain due to the team's improved forward depth. After a promising start last season with the Utica Comets and a stint in the NHL, his development is a key concern. Hameenaho struggled with eight points in 33 NHL games, mostly playing on the fourth line. Depending on his progress this summer, he may either make the Devils' opening night roster or spend an extended period in the AHL to refine his skills. The decision will hinge on his performance in training camp and the overall team dynamics in September.
