New Jersey Devils‘ undrafted first year center Kevin Rooney(58) signs a one-year entry level deal, then 3 days later was on the ice in the big league skating 14 shifts for 9:48 of total ice.
He’s currently skated 2 more NHL games of roughly equal time but unfortunately it’s been all losing causes and he’s a -2 rating.
The good-sized 6’2″ 190 lbs. forward originally agreed to an ato with Albany Devils after winning the 2016 NCAA Division 1 Championship as captain of Providence College appearing in 7 games with 3 assists.
He officially signed a one-year deal after attending the parent club’s development camp, heading into 2016/2017 and has put in 7 goals and 10 assists in a team leading 57 AHL contests.
At 23-years old, he’s set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the current campaign but looks good to net himself at least a small extension.
