New Jersey Devils Buyout Of Mike Cammalleri More Than Meets The Eye

Just three years ago, the New Jersey Devils made a big move, signing winger Mike Cammalleri to a five year, $25 million contract. He was going to come in and provide huge offensive production for a team that desperately needs it.

At times, he was very good in a Devils sweater. In his first season, he was well on his way to a 30 goal season, before injuries derailed him. He scored 27 goals in just 68 games. The next season, injuries became worse. He played just 42 games, and scored 14 goals. He was still playing 19 minutes per game when he was on the ice.
