I swear I said this before the season started?

Brendan Shanahan began working out with the New Jersey Devils today. While he has yet to sign a contract, he and the team are working out the details of a deal and becoming part of the club over the next few days. Shanahan was a first round pick by the Devils way back in 1987 (second overall) and has been in UFA limbo since he was left unsigned by the New York Rangers.

Shanahan should definitely add some secondary scoring to a Devils team that really hasn't lost a step since their Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur was sidelined with an elbow injury.

You friend on ice,
