The fans at Prudential Center will miss the man they call Sarge tremendously as his jersey was among the most sighted throughout the building.
There is a slight possibility that the team can sign him for less than his $1.52 million contract according to GM Lou Lamoriello. "You never know on something like that," Lamoriello said. "In our situation here, when you have such a quality player that he's been and the type of person and what he brings in character, you never say never.”
