Ray Shero made his first official move as GM of the New Jersey Devils this week by re-signing forward Jordin Tootoo. Tootoo will return to the Devils next season after signing a one-year deal worth $825,000. By re-signing Jordin Tootoo, Shero has re-signed one of 8 pending UFAs. The 31-year old returns after nearly matching his career-high in goals this season and making the team in training camp.
I previously covered Jordin Tootoo’s unrestricted free agent situation in our Armchair Gm Poll series and 87% of fans voted they wanted to re-sign him.
