Brett Pesce, signed 6x$5.5M by NJ, is a top four D who shuts down passing lanes close to the net, helps his team advance the puck up the ice, and defends the rush as aggressively as anyone in the league. Great PK and keeps the puck out of the slot despite a lack of physicality.

Pesce is one of the better defensive defensemen in the NHL and the Devils will be paying him like one.
The deal will take Pesce into his mid-30s and the Devils will rely on him not to regress too much over the course of his contract.
