Defenseman Sami Vatanen re-signs with New Jersey Devils
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – The New Jersey Devils have actually re-signed defenseman Sami Vatanen less than a year after trading him to Carolina.
The Devils revealed Thursday that the totally free representative was offered a one-year, $2 million agreement.
“He’s highly competitive,” coach Lindy Ruff stated after practice. “He’s another veteran we can put inside our dressing room who knows how to play the game the right way.”
The Devils lacked goaltender Corey Crawford for the 4th successive day. The 36-year-old was emitted on Monday and Tuesday for what the group called “maintenance” and got individual days on Wednesday and Thursday.
Ruff would not reveal the factor Crawford required time off. The long time Chicago Blackhawk just recently signed a two-year agreement with the Devils as a complimentary representative.
Vatanen formerly played parts of 3 seasons with the Devils (2017-20). In 154 video games with New Jersey, he scored 12 objectives and 56 helps for 68 points while including 76 charge minutes. He had 5 objectives and 18 helps in 47 video games prior to being dealt to the Hurricanes at the trade due date.
New Jersey obtained forward Janne Kuokkanen, defenseman Fredrik Claesson and a draft choice, who ended up being goaltender Nico Daws. Vatanen had 3 helps in 7 championship game with the Hurricanes.
Vatanen has actually played in 434 profession video games with New Jersey and Anaheim. He was at first obtained by the Devils from the Anaheim.
The local of Finland was Anaheim’s 5th choice (4th round) and the 106th total option in the 2009 NHL draft. He remained in the exact same Anaheim draft class as existing Devils extreme right Kyle Palmieri.
