The New Jersey Devils are bringing in a veteran forward to their roster.

The Devils have announced that they have signed winger Evgenii Dadonov to a one-year, $1 million contract for the 2025-26 season.

Dadonov, 36, spent this past season with the Dallas Stars. In 80 games with the Central Division club, he posted 20 goals, 40 points, and a plus-1 rating. Overall, it was a solid campaign for the 2007 third-round pick.

With the Devils needing more secondary offensive production, it makes sense that they have signed Dadonov. He should be a nice fit in their top nine and will also offer them another skilled forward to work with on their power play.

Overall, this is very much a low-risk move for the Devils. It will be intriguing to see how much of an impact Dadonov makes with the Devils next season from here.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the New Jersey Devils are signing former Edmonton Oilers forward Connor Brown to a four-year, $12 million contract. Starting next season, Brown will have a $3 million cap hit with the Devils.
