The New Jersey Devils have signed four veterans to professional try-out contracts. The list includes former Devil forward Kevin Rooney , longtime center Luke Glendening , minor-league goalie Adam Scheel , and Russian goalie Georgi Romanov . All four players will report to New Jersey’s training camp when it begins on September 17th.
Rooney will be the most familiar name to Devils fans. He began his pro career with the organization, signing with the Albany Devils as an undrafted free agent in 2016. Within three seasons, Rooney had worked his way up to a hardy, fourth-line role in the NHL. He quickly became known for making gritty and hard-earned plays, but never scored more than 10 points in a single season with the Devils. He moved to the New York Rangers for the 2020-21
