Tonight, news broke of the first signing of the 2019 offseason by the New Jersey Devils. Goaltender Gilles Senn was signed to an entry level contract according to CapFriendly. No, it is not a major signing or anything that will immediately impact New Jersey. It is of interest for Binghamton and for those interested in the team’s depth in net.
It was also a necessary move by General Manager Ray Shero. Senn was drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL Draft. Without a contract, as I understand it, he would have become an unrestricted free agent later this Summer as he is over 20.
