Colin White Signs One-Year Deal with New Jersey Devils

Colin White is embarking on a new chapter in his hockey career, officially signing a one-year contract with the New Jersey Devils for the 2026-27 season. The former San Jose Sharks and San Jose Barracuda forward is making his exit from the Bay Area, where he established himself as a significant contributor.

At 29 years old, White joined the Sharks organization prior to the 2024-25 season and quickly made his mark, becoming a vital player for the Barracuda. In his inaugural season with the Sharks, he participated in three NHL games, showcasing his potential at the highest level.

Last season proved to be a breakout year for White, as he experienced a substantial increase in offensive output. He recorded 21 goals and totaled 48 points in just 46 games for the Barracuda, also netting a goal in the playoffs. His impressive performance undoubtedly caught the attention of the Devils’ management.

While White has inked an NHL contract, he is anticipated to report to the Devils’ AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets. However, with training camp on the horizon, there remains a possibility for changes regarding his placement within the organization.

White’s new contract is valued at $900,000 at the NHL level and $400,000 at the AHL level, marking a significant opportunity as he looks to further his career in New Jersey.
