The New Jersey Devils extended a qualifying offer to Jacob Josefson.
Josefson is scheduled to be a restricted free agent this summer. By extending the qualifying offer, the Devils retain Josefson's negotiating rights and would be entitled to draft-pick compensation if he were to sign with another team. Josefson had one goal and two assists in 22 games with the Devils this season.

Injuries cleared the way for the New Jersey Devils to at least bring Jacob Josefson back to the NHL level.
We'll see if he can get into some games or if he'll just practice with the team a bit. With zero goals and an assist in 15 contests in 2013, you can probably guess how much fantasy relevance he has, although a turnaround isn't totally out of the question.

Jacob Josefson will attempt to find his game in the minors.
The 21-year-old had just one assist in 15 games, after getting 20 in 30 games in the AHL during the lockout. "Jacob's just not playing the way he was playing," Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "Not that he's doing anything wrong, but whenever you have the ability when someone's game maybe slipped a little to send a player to the minors, especially a young player, to get their game back, it's what you do."

The New Jersey Devils decided to ship forward Jacob Josefson to the AHL on Sunday.
The 21-year-old forward has been ice-cold this season, registering his only point (an assist) on Jan. 25 against the Washington Capitals. With just 13 SOG in 15 games, a -8 rating and only two PIM, it's unlikely anyone will miss him.

Jacob Josefson was removed from the top line after just one period Thursday against the Islanders.
Josefson was just the latest player coach Pete DeBoer tried to slot in on the left side of the top line after youngsters Mattias Tedenby and Stefan Matteau didn't stick. Look for Josefson to settle as the fourth-line center, but he'll likely move around throughout the course of games. He's not worth owning in most leagues.
