Stillman was traded by the Devils to the Penguins only four months ago in the deal that brought Cody Glass to New Jersey. Now, after a brief stay with the Penguins organization, Stillman is heading to Vancouver.
Stillman, 22, will now look to take that next step in his development. At this point in his career, the former first-rounder has yet to make his NHL debut, but he will aim to change that with the Canucks following this move.
Stillman began his American Hockey League (AHL) career with the Utica Comets. In 54 games with Utica during his first AHL season in 2023-24, he posted 14 goals, 24 points, 72 penalty minutes, and a minus-2 rating. In 46 games with the Comets in 2024-25 before being traded by the Devils, he had three goals, nine points, and a minus-14 rating.
It will now be intriguing to see how much of an impact Stillman can make with the Canucks.
Devils Need Important Forward To Bounce BackNew Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer is undoubtedly a player to watch closely next season. When looking at the Devils' current roster, he is one of their most important forwards. Due to this, they will be hoping for the 23-year-old to have a much-needed bounce-back season in 2025-26.
