The New Jersey Devils have decided to free up a spot in their roster by placing defenseman on waivers Nick Desimoneas reported by Elliotte Friedman this afternoon.
This is the second time this season that the 30-year-old has found himself in this situation. DeSimone was placed on waivers at the end of training camp, but no team had claimed him. It must be said that at this time of the year, teams are preparing to start the season with the players they have at their disposal, so there is a lot of fear of players being claimed on waivers.
Last year he was claimed by the Flames, the team with which he had been playing since 2022.
In fact Desimone has mainly played in the American League since his professional debut in 2016.
He has nearly 350 games of experience in the AHL and 38 in the NHL. This season, he played 11 games with the Devils, recording 1 goal and an assist along the way.
DeSimone is playing on a one-year, one-way contract for a minimum salary of $775,000 this season and is expected to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
