At the start of the season, there were a few guys who were able to make the New Jersey Devils’ opening night roster that many believed may have been sent down prior to October 13th. Pavel Zacha, Miles Wood, Blake Speers and Steven Santini were all players who could be sent down early on and not have a year of the ELCs burned. Nine games into the season and Santini never even saw the ice for New Jersey, and both Wood and Speers played a couple games before being sent back to their respective clubs (Albany and the Soo Greyhounds).
