Last offseason, Ray Shero made a very strange decision with the New Jersey Devils. Besides completely ignoring the free agent and trade market in an attempt to continue the momentum of a playoff berth, he made it a point to re-sign every restricted free agent. He gave some of them very interesting contracts, like giving Miles Wood a four-year deal, keeping Stefan Noesen‘s deal to one year, and paying Steve Santini $4.25 million over three seasons.
Still, the strangest of them all was the contract of Kevin Rooney. He was given a two-year deal that turns into a one-way deal in the second year.
