Maybe Cammy will get the chance to punch him in the face again now.

I was hoping the flames would have taken a chance. Worth 1.5 for sure

Not bad. If they can get 25 points or 15 goals out of him, it's not a bad signing.

At that price he's definitely worth a gamble.

I think this is best signing today term and money-wise. $1.5M for one season for a good scorer?

The Devils sure seem to love pumping veterans into their lineup. He could work well with fellow countryman Jagr though for a season.

Had trouble staying healthy and producing the past few seasons, dollar amount seems right. Gives him a chance to try and regain form for a future pay out.. but more than likely his stock falls further.

Low risk move for Devils - helps balance out the cash forked out to Cammy, but probably no chance he stays healthy for even 3/4 of the season...

Good deal for sure. Havlat is still a reasonable player but he's not as good as he used to be, which is why he signed for so little.

Actually, this is more for Elias than Jagr. Havlat and Elias are best friends.
