With the Pittsburgh Penguins being out of the playoff race by the 2025 NHL trade deadline, they traded away some of their players. One of them was forward Cody Glass, as they dealt him and Jonathan Gruden to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Chase Stillman, Max Graham’s signing rights, and a 2027 third-round pick.
Glass had some regular-season success with the Devils after being traded by the Penguins, as he recorded two goals and seven points in 14 games. This was after he had four goals, 11 assists, and a minus-9 rating in 51 contests with the Penguins. However, he had a quiet post-season with New Jersey, recording zero points and a minus-2 rating in five games.
According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Devils are not expected to send Glass a qualifying offer this off-season. Due to this, the former Penguins forward is expected to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Given how Glass’ tenure with the Penguins went, it seems unlikely that they would target him if he becomes a UFA at the start of next month. However, he would likely generate some interest around the league elsewhere, as he is a former first-round pick who is a decent bottom-six forward when playing at his best.
