Detroit is done for this game. Missed out on a couple of Free Agents, however we are confident with our group going forward. We imagine we will pick up a FA to be come deadline time but for now we go into the season like this.
Biggest additions are Brendan Morrow and Ryan Miller
After unsuccessfully going after some big names in the free agency market, the Devils are very pleased to announce the signing of Dennis Wideman to a 4 year deal worth 20 million dollars which includes a partial NTC. The addition of Dennis will improve our mobility on the backend and his presence on the power play will be felt immediately.
The Devils are done all movement for the offseason and will be eagerly waiting for training camp to begin.
Successful offseason in our eyes. We tinkered with the idea of re-tooling the core, but we remain confident in them (Sedins, Burr, Luongo, Kesler, Edler) and we feel with some new faces in the supporting cast, we'll be ready for another strong run at the cup this coming post season. We've left some major cap flexibility, something the team hasn't done successfully in recent years. (Haven't crunched the numbers but it should be around 6-7M remaining)
Added some nice youth in Nieto, Wahl, Harrington and Tangradi, along with the picks in the upcoming draft.

GM HockeyRulez:
This off-season was a definite success. We put together a new core group of guys that we're extremely excited about. We were able to acquire some elite young talent and our work this off-season will set us up for great success now and in the future.
This offseason didn't really work out as we wanted so the Rangers were content with keeping the roster as is. We feel it was a pretty good offseason for us.
