The Devils added Marty Havlat agreeing on a one-year deal worth $1.5 million.

Devils architect Lou Lamoriello wasn’t done on the first day of the frenzy. After signing Mike Cammalleri for five years, $25 million, he added veteran forward Marty Havlat inking him to a one-year $1.5 million deal.

The 33-year old Havlat was bought out by San Jose with a year left on a six-year contract worth $30 million. Instead, the injury prone winger joins his fifth team. A talented player, it’s always been about his health which is why his star has fallen. In 48 games with the Sharks, he registered 12 goals and 10 assists for 22 points along with a plus-14 rating. A lower body injury kept him out for 17 games following groin surgery. He only appeared in one postseason game not hitting the score sheet.

For New Jersey, it’s a calculated low risk move. The kind Lamoriello makes. If he can stay on the ice, it’d be interesting to see him play with Jaromir Jagr or Patrik Elias. Don’t forget another Czech pal Marek Zidlicky is still there. It looks like the Devils have become home of the Czech mates.

The Devils needed to add offense. They certainly have done it bringing in Cammalleri and Havlat. Will it work? Only time shall tell.

In related news, they also signed Steve Bernier for a year worth $600,000. The fourth line fixture stays following a tough season in which he had three goals and nine assists for 12 points with a minus-15 rating.

With Martin Brodeur not returning, the Devils also brought back Scott Clemmensen. It just came down on TSN. No terms yet on capgeek.com but it’s probably just for a year where he’ll back up Cory Schneider.
