Now that their postseason run and 2017-18 season are over, the Devils will shift their attention to the offseason and beyond.

Like any team, the Devils will have their fair share of contract decisions to make on their own players who need new deals. Who will be back? Who won't be? And how will the Devils approach a a big class of their own restricted and unrestricted free agents?

Here are the 12 NHL players in need of new deals this summer.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

Unrestricted free agents will have the right to sign with any NHL team on July 1. The Devils retain the rights to exclusively negotiate prior to that date.

John Moore, D

Moore will be the Devils' most interesting offseason free agent to watch. The 27-year-old defenseman can hit the open market and will likely be looking at a raise from his $1,666,667 AAV from his three-year deal with the Devils. Moore played a career-high 81 games in 2017-18, and he has produced 99 points over his 447-game career.

Brian Gibbons, F

Gibbons played on an NHL contract in 2017-18 after the Devils signed him to an AHL deal in 2016-17 to play in Albany. He was one of the biggest surprises for the Devils in 2017-18, making the NHL team out of training camp and scoring 12 goals in October and November.

He didn't score again the rest of the season, partially because of a broken thumb that cost him five weeks from January through March. But the 30-year-old Gibbons had a career season, and he also proved to be a valuable penalty killer. It will be interesting to see how the Devils value him and what kind of traction he could gain on the open market.

Ryane Clowe, F

No, Ryane Clowe did not play a game for the Devils in 2017-18. He has been retired from the NHL since concussions ended his career during the 2014-15 season. But his contract and salary cap hit remained on the Devils' books. That contract ended in 2017-18, so the Devils will have an additional $4.85 million to use elsewhere.

Patrick Maroon, F

Both of the Devils' trade-deadline acquisitions will be unrestricted free agents after the season. Of the two, Patrick Maroon seemed to jell most with the Devils to make an impact down the stretch. He finished with 13 points in 17 regular-season games, plus one goal in five postseason games. He became a key net-front player and a grinder beneath the goal line, so the Devils could aim to bring Maroon back for a longer stint in New Jersey.

Michael Grabner, F

The Devils gave up more to acquire Grabner than Maroon at the deadline, but Grabner never quite got going in New Jersey. He had two goals and three assists in 21 regular-season games, and he wound up being a healthy scratch in the Devils' final three postseason games. Considering his speed and goal production prior to getting to the Devils — he had 52 goals with the Rangers over two seasons prior to the trade — Grabner should draw plenty of interest on the open market.

Drew Stafford, F

Stafford was a key part of turning the Devils' culture around within the locker room, and he finished with eight goals and seven assists over 59 games. He was often a healthy scratch over the second half of the season, giving way to some younger players and the Devils' deadline acquisitions.

Jimmy Hayes, F

Like Stafford, Hayes was another key locker room presence, but he played in just 33 games after the Devils signed him to a one-year deal following a professional tryout in training camp.

Eddie Lack, G

The Devils added Lack in a Dec. 30 trade, and he proved to be a valuable addition with the unexpected injuries to goalies Cory Schneider and Keith Kinkaid. If the Devils aren't ready to use Mackenzie Blackwood or Ken Appleby as backups in case of another injury to Schneider or Kinkaid next season, Lack could be an option to fill the same role he had this season.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

The Devils can prevent their restricted free agents from hitting the open market if they are signed prior to July 1 or tendered an offer sheet in June. Most restricted free agents will receive an offer sheet and will likely re-sign sometime in July, once the Devils go through the draft and unrestricted free agency.

Other NHL teams are allowed to sign restricted free agents to offer sheets, but that means giving the Devils compensation in the form of a draft pick if they are signed. Offer sheets are rare in the current NHL.

Don't Edit

Miles Wood, F

Wood finished one goal shy of 20 for the season, and his puck skills continued to catch up to his speed and physicality during his second NHL season. With restricted free agents, the parties can always agree on a one-year deal if a longer contract can't be reached, but Wood will be back in New Jersey next season.

Blake Coleman, F

Blake Coleman established himself as an NHL player during his first full season at the top level. He finished with 13 goals and 12 assists in 79 games, and his scoring touch emerged in the second half of the season while his defensive presence shined throughout. He also led the Devils in hits.

Coleman has arbitration rights, and at 26 years old, he will be eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2019 if the Devils only sign him to a one-year deal. A multi-year contract could be in the cards for Coleman.

Don't Edit

Stefan Noesen, F

Noesen also played his first full NHL season, often playing on the same line as Coleman and serving as one of the Devils' defensive stoppers. He finished with 13 goals and 14 assists. Noesen has a couple seasons before he is eligible for unrestricted free agency, but he does have arbitration rights this summer.

Steven Santini, F

Like Wood, Santini will be looking at a new contract after his entry level deal ended after 2017-18. Santini's pro career has been split between the NHL and AHL over two seasons, but the Devils view him a a defenseman who will be a part of the NHL team's success going forward.
