#NJDevils have re-signed D Seth Helgeson to a two-year contract. Two-way in 2015-16; one-way in 2016-17.
Expected but nice. Guessing 600K 2-Way
Numbers not revealed yet, but this year its a two way. Next, one way.
Good for Hulk. Good player to have around. Potential thumper to anchor a bottom pairing.
I didn't know you could do a contract like this.
The Devils did it with Gionta's deal after 2012, one way in the first year then two way in the second (or other way around), of course it didn't matter since there wasn't much of a chance he'd get sent down lol
Yeah that's my first thought. Gionta's was a one way the first year, then two way in the second year I believe.
Helgeson's appears to be the other way around.
And hopefully this staff will treat him better than the last staff did, sending him to Albany so we could call up and play the worst athlete in the history of sports.
If they want him to spend some more time in Albany to start the year though, I won't be opposed to that. Since it won't be Mark ****ing Fraser that's up in his spot. It would likely be Hrabarenka IMO.
Also Moore and Moesik. There is decent competition for the 6th and 7th spots.
He is the only stay at home physical guy we have until Santini gets here so Hulk might have an inside track for at least the 7th spot.
I actually really think Hulk will be the number 7. I think he's got the inside track of Hrabarenka.
I don't see him beating out Moore for the 6th spot though, unless Moore is REALLY bad.
The second year being 1 way also apparently discourages people from claiming him should NJ need to send him down as he'd have to pass through waivers.
If we're waiving him in the second year of his contract, it'll probably be irrelevant whether he's claimed or not.
He could have used the week of development camp.

interesting contract, good signing. something about this doofus really tickles my knickers
I think he meant the extra year one-way would discourage people from claiming him this season, since I doubt he'll be cracking the top-6 on opening night.
If he starts the season stashed in Albany he should be a fairly safe bet to pass waivers with that extra full-price year.

Don't worry about him getting picked up guys.
It's not like he's as good as the legendary Alexander Urbom.
