The New Jersey Devils announced on Wednesday that they have
resigned Sergey Kalinin to a one-year, 800,000-dollar contract.
In his first season with the Devils, this past year he
scored eight goals and seven assists in 78 games.
The 25-year-old center from
Omsk, Russia added three assists in 10 games, for Team Russia, during the 2016 International
Ice Hockey Federation World Championship, helping to lead them to a bronze
medal.
After five seasons with Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey
League, Kalinin was signed by New Jersey as a free agent prior to the start of
the 2015-2016 National Hockey League season.
The signing of Kalinin follows a list of free agent acquisitions
by the organization. The team recently brought back Jacob Josefson, Jon Merrill
and Devante Smith-Pelly as well as added Beau Bennett, Ben Lovejoy and Luke
Gazdig to their lineup.
The Devils continue have negotiations with Kyle Palmieri,
who on Tuesday filed for salary arbitration as well as Reed Boucher. The team
also made a blockbuster trade during the offseason, acquiring Taylor Hall from
the Edmonton Oilers for defenseman Adam Larsson.
