The 2010–11 New Jersey Devils season is the team's 28th season in the National Hockey League since the franchise relocated to New Jersey.

Off-seasonEdit

On April 26, 2010, Jacques Lemaire announced that he would retire from coaching.^[1] On June 17, 2010, the New Jersey Devils announced that John MacLean would become the 19th head coach in the franchise's history.^[2] On June 29, 2010, the Devils announced that former NHL player Adam Oates will be the assistant coach for the team for the 2010-11 season.^[3]

Ilya Kovalchuk chose to re-sign with the Devils on July 19 for $102 million over 17 years. The deal was front-loaded with minimal payments in the last few seasons, when Kovalchuk would be in his forties, and unlikely to play. The deal was rejected by the NHL as a circumvention of the collective bargaining agreement. The Devils stated after the NHL rejection that they would appeal the decision under the "collective bargaining agreement" process.^[4] On August 8, arbitrator Richard Bloch held up the NHL's rejection of the contract, making Kovalchuk an unrestricted free agent again.^[5]

Regular season Edit

The Devils will open their regular season at home on October 8 against the Dallas Stars. The Devils will close out the season on April 10 at home against the Boston Bruins
