The 35-year-old rearguard, who spent all of last season playing for the New Jersey Devils’ farm club, would be a long shot to make a club stocked with four veteran NHL defensive defensemen: Jan Hejda, Rusty Klesla, Fedor Tyutin and Mike Commodore. That’s not counting Aaron Rome and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen.
