Meh. Some 4th line competition. Guess this spells the end of Tootoo and Gio.

 

[britdevil]

Hmm. Ok.

 

[Classic Devil]

I liked Fiddler as a potential 4th line center like six years ago. He's ancient now... but I haven't been watching his scouting report so I have no idea if I like this or not.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

Vernon!!!!!!

 

[Devils Trap]

TSN saying he had a very good year in Dallas and he is a very good 4th line Center

Pierre says he has great "character"

 

[dougiebrown]

36 years old? Sigh....

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Hopefully just a one year deal.

 

[britdevil]

Pierre calling it a character signing. Gotta agree.

Stop gap for the younger guys to develop.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

Guess that's our 4th line center..

 

[Captain Lou]

I guess that 28 year old thing was just a guideline.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

1 yr 1.25M

 

[NJDevils17]

1 Year 1.25 million

 

[Just Win]

Bye, bye Josefson i guess.

 

[Devils Trap]

The guy is a great 4th line Center.

Had a good year in Dallas according to TSN

 

[Darkauron]

Pretty good deal, had 12 goals last year. Would be perfect for the 4th line.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Don't know much about him at all.

 

[R8Devs]

I guess that 28 year old thing was just a guideline.

it's a 1 year deal. this is like the definition of no risk he had 22 points last year.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Well he can't be worse than Gionta

Can he?

 

[JimEIV]

Very strange. He is 36 years old. Why?

 

[Devils Trap]

22 points last year / Veteran / Great Character / Good on Faceoffs / 1 Year Deal

What more do you want for the 4th line ?

 

[NJDevils17]

We NEEDED to improve bottom 6 scoring. He does this. Very good signing.

 

[Captain Lou]

it's a 1 year deal. this is like the definition of no risk he had 22 points last year.

You missed my point. I am totally fine with this. Especially because it almost 100% means no Gionta or Tootoo.
