Devils sign defenseman Peter Harrold

According to Capgeek.com and the New Jersey Devils' official website the team has signed free agent defenseman Peter Harrold to a one-year, two-way contract. Tom Gulitti has more:
The deal has an NHL salary of $550,000 and AHL salary of $105,000.
Harrold, 28, played 19 NHL games for the Kings last season, putting up one goal and three assists and has eight goals and 18 assists in 164 career regular season NHL games. The Kings signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2006 after his four-year career at Boston College, where he was team captain.
Although Harrold was on the Kings’ roster for all of the 2010-11 season, he played in only game after Jan. 6. He was listed as healthy the entire season.
The Devils have announced nothing about signing Harrold (6-0, 184), but he is listed on their team website (as some of you noticed).
Harrold's two-way contract suggests he may be Albany-bound for 2011-12, but his 164 games of NHL experience make him an asset to the organization, should New Jersey require defensive reinforcement this coming season.
