The New Jersey Devils re-signed defenseman Bryce Salvador to a three-year, $9.5 million contract. That $3.167 million annual average value only represents a small increase from his previous cap hit of $2.9 million, so the Devils didn't go overboard in rewarding what might be a once-in-a-lifetime playoff run. Salvador had 14 points in 24 playoff games in 2011 after only having nine points in the regular season. That kind of output might get him on some fantasy owners' radars, but if you make a gamble on him, it's best for him to be on the very bottom of your defense corps - if that.
