from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
When the Devils bought out the final season of forward Dainius Zubrus' contract on July 29, Shero explained that wanted to create some roster flexibility up front in case he is able to add another forward at some point before the season starts.
Shero is still pursuing that possibility, but said “there's nothing imminent.”
“We're looking at those things whether it's a signing or a trade or potentially a tryout situation with players that are looking for jobs still or a trade with any team,” he said. “That's a constant evaluation that will kind of go on until training camp or after training camp. So, we'll see. There are players that are still out there. We've been in touch with agents and teams and we'll see where that's going to lead us trytout-wise, trade-wise or signing-wise.”
At this point, Shero doesn't know yet if any players will attend camp with the Devils as tryouts.
“Sometimes these things happen the day before,” he said. “I've been in touch with different agents and players, as every other team has been, and we'll just see. But there are no tryout invitations out at this point at all.”
When asked if the team would be more likely to invite a forward or a defenseman, Shero replied, “It could be both.”
