Andy Greene News

The Devils signed Andy Greene to a five-year deal worth $25 million, the deal also includes a no-trade clause.

Greene, 31, is an underrated defenseman and the $5 million dollar cap-hit is a really fair deal for both sides. Greene had eight goals and 24 assists (32 points) in 82 games for the Devils last season. The eight goals set a new career-high for the eight year veteran. He will be back eating up close to 25 minutes a night, including tons of power-play time in 2014-15. He is not a big name, so he can come at a cheap price on draft day.

The acquisition of Kurtis Foster certainly helped the Devils get over the big loss of Greene. The Trenton, Michigan native registered nine assists over 23 games and is at least a month away from returning.
