The Devils recently signed defenseman Jay Leach, along with forwards Jon DiSalvatore and Chad Wiseman.

Leach was a fifth-round pick by the Coyotes and has registered seven penalty minutes in two NHL games with the Boston Bruins. He also appeared in two games with the Tampa Bay Lightning before being signed by Anaheim.

DiSalvatore, who is a former Providence College Friar, was a fourth-round pick by San Jose. He was signed to the St. Louis Blues in 2004, making five game appearances and recording just two penalty minutes.

Wiseman has played with San Jose and the New York Rangers. In his nine games, he had one goal, one assist, and eight penalty minutes.

The three new additions to the Devils organization are likely to be playing in Lowell along with Matt Cohen, Tyler Burton, Eric Castonguay, and Brad Mills. They recently just signed contracts with the Lowell Devils.

Bringing all these new players to the organization has Devils fans anticipating an interesting camp this September. With all this new talent, some of the current Lowell players may have to be moved up to the big show.

      These aren't for the big club. It is just AHL and minor league roster filling out. Jon DiSalvatore played for the San Antonio Rampage last year, the Coyotes' AHL affiliate. Thats what these moves are for.
