New Jersey Devils GM Lou Lamoriello says the team made pending free agent David Clarkson a "substantial offer."
Clarkson appears set to hit the free-agent market, which likely means his time with the Devils is over. "We have no other choice right now," Clarkson's agent, Pat Morris, said Monday. "On Sunday at the draft, the day David's contract expired, we received a proposal from Lou. Unfortunately it did not result in a contract." As of 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, Clarkson was officially allowed to begin speaking with other teams, although Morris did add he expects another offer from Lamoriello before free agency officially opens Friday
