Signings 1983
Rebuilding New Jersey Devil
Curt Brackenbury 31-year old right wing enforcer from St. Louis Blues in exchange for left defenceman Murray Brumwell. Brackenbury is considered as one of the toughest players in the league and is one of the Top 3 fighters.
Brad Marsh Hard-hitting left defenceman from Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for left defenceman Tapio Levo, left winger Jeff Larmer, left winger Paul Gagne and the rights to center John Johansson. Brad Marsh will be a defensive key player and despite only being 25-years old he will bring experience to the Devils defence while rebuilding. Marsh would be a top-3 defender on most teams and his main strength is his defensive play.
Randy Cunneyworth Devils required left winger Randy Cunneyworth from Buffalo Sabres in exchange for center Merlin Malinowski, left winger Aaron Broten and the rights to left defenceman Uli Hiemer. Cunneyworth is a agitator and a blue collar worker known for his physical play and work ethic, he will be a perfect fit for the new Devils team.
7th Round Draft Pick
37-year old veteran defenceman Carol Vadnais was traded to Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a 7th Round Draft Pick.
7th Round Draft Pick
30-year old veteran right winger Bob MacMillan was traded to Hartford Whalers for a 7th Round Draft Pick. Chris NilanFree agent Chris Nilan signs with the New Jersey Devils. The right wing enforcer is a Top 5 fighter in the league and will mainly be a backup enforcer. Jon Casey
21-year old goalie Jon Casey is a longshot prospect that were picked up from the free agent market. Casey will start in the AHL and hopefully turn into a quality starter.
Warren SkorodenskiWarren Skorodenski was picked up on the Waiver Draft. Skorodenski is a pure backup goalie that will replace Lindsey Middlebrook until Jon Casey is ready for NHL. Skorodenski is a third-stringer at best, but is still a lot better than Middlebrook.
