What's Happening?
Veteran NHL forward Luke Glendening has signed a professional tryout agreement with the New Jersey Devils. Glendening, who has played 864 career games over 13 years, is looking to extend his career into a 14th season. Last year, he played with the Tampa Bay Lightning, appearing in 77 games and contributing defensively. Known for his faceoff ability and defensive skills, Glendening aims to secure a spot in the Devils' bottom-six unit.
Why It's Important?
Glendening's tryout with the Devils is a strategic move for both parties. For the Devils, it provides a no-risk opportunity to evaluate a seasoned player who can bring experience and leadership to the team. For Glendening, it offers a chance to continue his NHL career and contribute to a new team. His defensive skills and experience could be valuable assets for the Devils as they aim to strengthen their roster.
What's Next?
Glendening will need to demonstrate his ability to keep up with the pace of the modern game during the tryout period. His performance will be closely monitored by the Devils' coaching staff, who will decide whether to offer him a contract based on his contributions during this time.
