The New Jersey Devils added a new body to their roster about as late as possible, when they claimed Jean-Sebastien Dea off waivers on Friday. He was the final forward cut on the Pittsburgh Penguins roster. The year-old had his best season last year, scoring 50 points for the AHL team. He was a great complimentary forward, and he was pushing very hard to make the big leagues this year.
Dea committed to working on his all-around game. He really focused on the penalty kill, something we know the Devils value in an extra forward.
This move reminds me a lot of the Brian Gibbons move last season. Most Devils fans expected John Quenneville or Nick Lappin to make the opening-night roster, but the Devils opted for Gibbons instead, and it was the perfect move. Gibbons actually led the team in goals for the first few months, until Taylor Hall took over that distinction for good. Speaking of Quenneville, what does this mean for him and the other forwards on the roster bubble?
Well, it makes it much harder for the Devils to keep them up this season. Right now, Quenneville, Brett Seney and Kevin Rooney are the last forwards still fighting for a spot on the opening-night roster.

Well, as you know, when a player gets claimed off waivers he must stay on the NHL roster. If the Devils attempt to send him down to Binghamton, he must once again go through waivers. We saw this a few years ago when the Devils tried to bring back Reid Boucher , only to lose him once again to the Vancouver Canucks.
A team will snag a player if they think another team finds him valuable. Dea is a very good pickup in my opinion.
The Devils could still keep Dea on the roster as their extra forward over Drew Stafford. We all know how Ray Shero loves to take players from his former team, but unlike most this is not a player he drafted. In fact, Dea went undrafted and made the team after signing.
I still see room for Quenneville on this team.
