The New Jersey Devils had a very exciting day on Wednesday. They were clearly the front runners to land free agent defenseman Dougie Hamilton. One source claimed early in the signing period that the Devils were going to get it done. It was clear that they were working towards it but it took a minute to be announced. Later in the afternoon, the biggest NHL insiders started to confirm it and every Devils fan let out a breath of fresh air.
It is going to be very fun seeing a defenseman this talented come to the New Jersey Devils.
