The New Jersey Devils were busy today in announcing a new deal for Jacob Josefson and signing Luke Gazdic. The team's biggest free agent, Kyle Palmieri, made news by being one of 24 players to file for arbitration this summer. This post explains why there's no need to panic yet.
Earlier this evening, restricted free agent Kyle Palmieri and twenty-three players in a similar situation filed for arbitration before the 5 PM EST deadline for players. Andrew Gross has the report at Fire & Ice as well as a note that the deadline for teams to file for arbitration is at 5 PM on Wednesday and a full list of the players who filed.
