The New Jersey Devils’ second signing of the day was Vernon Fiddler, a veteran center expected to play on a team’s bottom six like he has been throughout his career. This post is a quick reaction to the player and his new contract.
It was not long before the New Jersey Devils made their second signing of the day. Ray Shero went out and signed someone intended for the bottom six, or the third and fourth lines, among the forwards. That someone is veteran center, Vernon Fiddler. The contract is for one year at $1.25 million.
With Tyler Kennedy, Stephen Gionta, Bobby Farnham, Tuomo Ruutu, and Jordin Tootoo all being unrestricted free agents, not all of them are expected to return.
