The New Jersey Devils found a way to make even less moves on day one of free agency than they did a year prior. While the Devils were tied to the likes of James Van Riemsdyk and Calvin De Haan (the latter of which is still possible), they ended up with defenseman Eric Gryba.
The signing did not give fans much hope for what’s to come. When looking at the signing announcement on the New Jersey Devils official Twitter page, the responses were a mixture of bored GIFs and fans asking about James Neal. It’s not the best look when talking about the team’s biggest signing on day one.
