Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter! -- According to reports from Danny Picard at Comcast SportsNet, it looks like former Ottawa Senators forward Bobby Butler has found a new team to skate with next season. Picard suggests that the deal Butler signed with New Jersey is a two-way contract, which makes Lou Lamoriello's most-recent dice-roll far less risky. Butler's one-way deal with the Otta...

Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils Sign Bobby Butler to One-Year, Two-Way Deal

Yesterday afternoon the New Jersey Devils dipped into the unrestricted free agent market and signed one of the better UFA's, at least in terms of potential, remaining in forward Bobby Butler. Here are my thoughts on the signing. - For those of you who have followed me on twitter and my articles here throughout the summer, you'll know that I really like Butler and think...

Marlborough Man Bobby Butler Signs with the Devils

For all the Skelleftea hockey fans out there, my heart goes out to you because Bobby Butler, "who has scored wherever he’s been", is not coming to an arena near you. Well, that is unless you're a Swedish hockey fan who lives in Newark. Just confirmed that #Marlborough's Bobby Butler has agreed to 1-year, 2-way deal with Devils. Will sign it later today or...

Roger Mussa: Butler the new New Jersey Devil

Reports have Uncle Lou and the New Jersey Devils and Bobby Butler have agreed on a one year deal. Reports are it is a two-way deal still pending confirmation. Interesting move, perhaps another diamond in the rough such as Ryan Carter and Steve Bernier. The two-way gives much less risk and tells me Uncle Lou is not done adding pieces... perhaps Petr Sykora. Butler, which Todd...

Report: New Jersey Devils’ ownership in flux

According to a New York Post report, New Jersey Devils’ owner Jeff Vanderbeek is still $20 million short of the money needed to pay off overdue loans. He has a week to find the necessary cash. The Post’s Josh Kosman, who has been the leading reporter on this story for months, says creditors are ready to take action on Aug. 14 if Vanderbeek comes up short. Needless to say, a failure...

Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils Going Nowhere + Would you Give Sykora a 2 Year Deal?

Over the last few days several reports have surfaced about Jeff Vanderbeek not being able to pay off debts and that he may lose majority ownership of the team if he doesn't pay them off soon. That, as many of you have seen, has led to a lot of speculation surrounding the franchise. Today I'll touch on that situation as well as unrestricted free agent Petr Sykora. - I&...

Todd Cordell: Report: New Jersey Devils in More Financial Trouble

According to Josh Kosman of the New York Post, with just a week remaining to pay off some previously over-due loans, New Jersey Devils majority owner Jeff Vanderbeek is still approximately 20 million dollars short. Should Vanederbeek fail to pay off his debts in time or arrange an extension on the deadline date, Vanderbeek could lose his control of the franchise, Kosman reports...

Welcome To The Next Era of Scott Stevens

Scott Stevens is back. He will be coaching the New Jersey Devils defense. Every time I hear Scott Stevens’ name, I get the grin on my face like I snuck a look at my Christmas presents and knew I got what I wanted. His name will always be synonymous with the New Jersey Devils. The 6’ 1” 215lb Canadian is arguably the best hitter to ever play in the NHL and well deserving of...

Zack (Smith) Attack Went Off Track

With much of the offseason’s attention naturally being devoted to Ottawa’s reputable prospects, established stars and the new faces that have come into the fold, it’s easy to forget about some of the less-heralded players, like Zack Smith, who are expected to fill out the team’s bottom six. 2011/12 was quite the Jekyll and Hyde season for Smith and maybe it was to be expected...

A Thought On Comps

It's been quite the offseason for Erik Karlsson. Between winning the Norris Trophy, inking a new seven-year, $45.5 million contract and getting married, everything has been coming up aces for the Senators' defenceman. With such an impressive string of good fortune, I suppose it was only a matter of time before Karlsson took the next step in his development and maturation...
