Jason Arnott to the Devils

[Brick.]

NEWARK, N.J. -- The New Jersey Devils have re-acquired forward Jason Arnott.

The Devils announced Saturday they shipped right-winger Matt Halischuk and a 2011 second-round draft pick to the Nashville Predators for the 35-year-old Arnott.

Arnott had 19 goals and 27 assists in 63 games last season. He scored the Stanley Cup-clinching goal for the Devils against the Dallas Stars in 2000.

Halischuk, 22, had one goal in 20 games with the Devils last season.

Its a great move for the Devils to make, although it seems that they're losing faith in Kovalchuk re-signing. And no, I don't think the addition of Arnott makes Ilya suddenly ecstatic about returning to North Jersey.

Yeah good move for the Devs. Damn, they're getting everything

If & when Kovalchuk sign elsewhere, I'd like to see Parise back on the 1st line and Elias moved back to the wing on 2nd line. Langenbrunner - Arnott - Elias is a solid veteran 2nd line.
