New Jersey Devils @NHLDevils
#NJDevils have agreed to terms with free agent forward Jiri Tlusty to a one-year, one-way contract.

No $ yet, but has been reported he turned down PTOs, refusing to go to camps without a contract

Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice (https://twitter.com/TGfireandice) Tlustly's one-year, one-way contract with Devils is for $800,000.

Good deal for the Devils. Tlusty will be a good 2-3 line winger.

[Fighting Banana Slug]

Good move for them. They need warm bodies just to field (a crappy) forward line-up.

800K for this guy is good value.

Dude is a pretty good player.

[East Coast Flame]

That's a good deal! Surprised he didn't catch on with anyone for this long. Guy is only 27 years old and is probably good for 15-20 goals.

[GranteedEV]

Not a player I've seen a whole lot of but 23 goals in 48 games in 2013 is pretty crazy.

And Lee Stempniak is now on a PTO with the Devils too.

Is the devils system so bare that they're just taking whoever is available? Tlutsy seems decent though and at that price, why not.

[GullFoss]

Ouch...a casualty of a too many teams tight against the cap

[Street Pharmacist]

In this league now you're paid early with term, paid a lot, or on a PTO
