Devils re-sign four, but not Brylin: The New Jersey Devils re-signed impending free agents Jay Pandolfo and Bryce Salvador on Tuesday, but said goodbye to forward Sergei Brylin, who won three Stanley Cup titles and spent his first 13 NHL seasons with the club. Just hours before bidding could begin on other teams' free agents, the Devils came to terms with Pandolfo and fellow forwards David Clarkson and Barry Tallackson, along with sturdy defenseman Salvador -- who came to New Jersey at this year's trade deadline. Pandolfo signed a three-year deal in which he will earn $2.5 million per season. Salvador will be paid $2.9 million for each of the next four seasons, and Clarkson signed a two-year contract that will pay him $800,000 next season and $875,000 in the 2009-10 season.

Fantasy Analysis
Pandolfo is a solid NHLer, but is more of a low-end Fantasy option, having never scored more than 30 points in a season. Salvador is a nice heavy hitter, but his value lies only in deeper leagues that reward penalty minutes. Clarkson is also a solid enforcer, but shouldn't be much of a scorer again in 2008-09. Only draft him in leagues that reward penalty minutes. Tallackson has only two points in 16 career NHL games and should be ignored in all formats until he shows some potential. As for Brylin, his days as a potent Fantasy contributor appear to be over, and he should only be drafted as a flier in super-deep leagues. (Updated 07/01/2008).
