The Devils avoided an Aug. 4 salary arbitration hearing with restricted free agent defenseman Mark Fraser and signed him to a one-year, one-way contract for $550,000.
Fraser is coming off a one-year, one-way contract for $500,000, which he signed last summer to avoid an arbitration hearing. He was happy to get his contract settled now, so he can focus on getting ready for the season and not worry about a hearing next week. He was also pleased to get a one-way contract again.
Fraser appeared in 5 games for the Albany Devils last season, registering one assist with a plus/minus of -3 during his conditioning stint with the team. Fraser also played on Albany ice earlier in his career when he suited up for 4 games with the Albany River Rats at the end of the 2005-06 season. The young defenseman went scoreless with a plus/minus of +3 that year.
