"Sportsnet has learned Alexander Mogilny has agreed to a two-year, $7-million deal with the New Jersey Devils.

It is a homecoming of sorts for the Russian forward who spent a season-and-a-half in a Devils' uniform before signing with Toronto."

Good I guess. Him, Elias, Gionta, Friesen, and Gomez are good players.

I never would've guessed this interesting

Mogilny had other options this time around in the free-agent market, but jumped at the chance to return to the Devils. "New Jersey has always been a front-runner for me and I always wanted to come back," he said Tuesday night from California.
...
He has been skating all summer in Russia and Los Angeles and convinced Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello that he has completely healed. "We're 100 percent comfortable that he is 100 percent healthy," Lamoriello said.
...
Mogilny worked very well with young forward Scott Gomez during his first stint with the Devils and will now provide offensive insurance should Patrik Elias be out for any length of time following a bout with hepatitis A.
...
The signing puts the Devils over the $39-million salary cap, but less than the 10 percent maximum. Lamoriello said the club will be back under the threshold before the Oct. 1 deadline.

New Jersey still has room to re-sign captain Scott Stevens should he decide to come back following concussion problems that cut short his last season.

I think that is good for Mogilny and for the Devils...good luck to him.

Devils have still rougher times ahead... Pittsburgh will challenge them real good this season!

Brodeur asked reporters how much Mogilny signed for and found it interesting when told it was a $7-million US, two-year deal.

"It's funny how it works, eh? Lou (Lamoriello) wouldn't give him that after we won the Stanley Cup (in 2000)," laughed Brodeur. "And now we have the new system and he gives him that."
