After being acquired from the San Jose Sharks, the young Thomas Bordeleau was only able to secure a one-year, league-minimum deal with the Devils. Is it already do or die for the former second-round pick?
Just over three weeks after he was acquired in a trade with the San Jose Sharks, Thomas Bordeleau has signed a one-year deal with the New Jersey Devils worth the NHL minimum $775k.
Bordeleau, 23, probably could have bargained for a little more, both in terms of salary and contract length, as a former second-round pick with 44 games of NHL experience and still-unearthed potential.
