Some teams like to use the free agency period to bring in new blood. The New Jersey Devils are not "some teams." With new faces popping up in new places all over the league today, the Devils turned the clock back to happier times by reaching deals with two UFAs, former Devils Brian Rolston and Bobby Holik.

Rolston is a nice pick-up (I guess I should say, "reacquisition") for the Devils. He's coming off of a 31-goal year in Minnesota and was on a lot of shopping lists today, with the Lightning even trading for his rights a few days ago in an attempt to lock him down before the deadline. The four-year/$20.5 million deal is probably a bit long, but with today's insanity it really doesn't seem that bad.

Holik is a different story. He's been downright brutal in three seasons with the Thrashers and isn't even worth the $2.5 million New Jersey is paying him. Apparently the chance to re-unite the late 1990s powerhouse Devils' team was just too much for Lou Lamoreillo to pass up.
