Brendan Smith breaks silence on links between his $2,950,000 Jersey home's sale and Devils departure

New Jersey Devils defenseman Brendan Smith has completed the last season of his two-year contract with the team and is set to become a free agent come summer. Recently, he listed his $2.95 million NJ house on the market, which has since added fuel to the fire of speculations regarding his exit from the Devils.

However, it seems that is not the case. Smith dismissed speculations about his future with the team following the news that he listed his New Jersey house for sale.

“It’s true the house is on the market, but no inkling to free agency,” Smith told NJ Advance Media. “Haven’t started negotiations with NJ [Devils] at this time.”

Smith clarified that selling his house has no relation to his potential departure from the Devils as a free agent. Smith also mentioned that he has not yet begun contract negotiations with the Devils for the upcoming season.

The player wants to continue his career in New Jersey and has voiced his wish to remain with the team and in the league. He said:

“Personally I hope (I’m) not hanging up the skates. I have not talked to management here. I love it here. I do want to be back. But, more than that, I want to be back in the NHL. So we’ll see how that goes.”
