akteon Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 According to this article on NHL.com, Brendan Shanahan has worked out a deal to return to where it all began for him, the New Jersey Devils: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=403443 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafountain Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Wow, this is surprising to me, I figured he would get back into the league, but I didn't think it would be the Devils, though this is a good signing for them. I believe he still has something to offer to teams out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFaninNYC Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Any word on when he is getting into the lineup? I hadn't heard any news stories about him working out during the interim like Sundin, wonder what the startup time for him is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I know he had been skating at the Rangers training facility up until the Rangers made it official they didn't want him back (which I still think was a dumb move by Slather) back at the end of October. I assume he kept it up even past that as he and his agent began to talk to other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he kept it up even past that as he and his agent began to talk to other teams. That makes sense. You just never heard about him (at least compared to Sundin or even Forsberg). Maybe he will do some conditioning down in Trenton and I can go see it on the cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafountain Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 1st game back with the Devils and he lights the lamp already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am NOT looking forward to his first goal as a Devil against the Rangers. I still can't believe how Shanny was treated by Glen Slather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFaninNYC Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 and now Lemieux is back in the league! What is old will be new again apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Had he signed a few weeks earlier I could've watched him play here in Dallas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
