Drew Stafford is coming back to the New Jersey Devils. At least, he will for training camp and preseason. Stafford will be with the Devils on a Professional Tryout (PTO) agreement. The Devils announced this news earlier today through their official website and Twitter account.
What this means is that the Devils have another forward to take part in practices, drills, scrimmages, and (maybe most importantly) preseason games. Did the Devils need someone to come in? I would say so. Prior to this announcement, the Devils were otherwise entering training camp with just twelve NHL forwards assuming Miles Wood is signed before then.
