After the start of an offseason where Devils fans, at best, were cautiously optimistic about retaining last season’s core, things got off to a very hot start after it was announced that Jesper Bratt would be re-signing with NJD for 8 years and $63 million. Additionally, Amanda Stein reported Friday morning that coveted free agent Timo Meier has been in communication with GM Tom Fitzgerald and would also like to come back to New Jersey on an 8-year deal.
Tom Fitzgerald reveals that he spoke with Timo Meier yesterday, and Meier has expressed wanting to stay here for the next eight years.
