New Jersey Devils and Phoenix Coyotes Swap Players
Viktor Tikhonov
Matt D'Agostini
Two players without contracts, both technically restricted free agents. New Jersey has been interested in Tikhonov since he played with Kovalchuk during the lockout, and his KHL playoff performance cemented that desire. With his KHL contract expiring, the Devils fully intend to get him signed and with the team in training camp at the start of next season.
New Jersey also announces multiple RFA signings:
Adam Henrique: 2 years, $2.25M/year ($2.0M, $2.5M)
Jacob Josefson: 1 year, $945,000
Andrei Loktionov: 1 year, $857,500
Mike Sislo: 2 years, $654,500/year, two-way contract
Harri Pesonen: 2 years, $654,500/year, two-way contract
Keith Kinkaid: 2 years, $731,500/year, two-way contract
Mattias Tedenby: 1 year, $918,750/year
Mike Hoeffel: 2 years, $756,250/year, two-way contract
