The New Jersey Devils get their guy. All the signs were pointing to the Devils signing Dougie Hamilton for weeks, but fans were still preparing for disappointment for weeks. The Devils always made sense on paper, but their lack of success in the past and never really signing a big free agent made us all wary. Obviously, that’s all changed now. The Devils signed the best available player on the free agency market as first reported by Nick Kypreos.
