The Utah Mammoth must decide whether to match the New Jersey Devils' $4.775 million offer sheet for Barrett Hayton within a week. If matched, Hayton remains with Utah for the 2026-27 season, but the team cannot trade him during that time. If they decline, the Devils acquire Hayton along with a second-round pick for Utah. The Mammoth's recent signings of Vincent Trocheck and Anders Lee may influence their decision on Hayton, who has 124 points in 264 games over the last four seasons.
