Marcus Nilson's tryout contract is short lived with the Devils. The team has trimmed their training camp roster to 29 by assigning goaltender Jeff Frazee to Albany of the American Hockey League (AHL), retuning defenseman Eric Gelinas to Chicoutimi of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and returning Nilson to the Swedish Elite League. Nilson was not impressive during any of the games in preseason and did not fight as hard for a roster spot as Adam Mair has, so its likely that Mair is on his way to earning a contract with the Devils.
Here is the Devils remaining depth chart in training camp:
Goaltenders (3): Martin Brodeur, Johan Hedberg, Mike McKenna.
Defensemen (11): Matthew Corrente, Rob Davison, Mark Fraser, Andy Greene, Anssi Salmela (injured), Bryce Salvador, Henrik Tallinder, Matt Taormina, Alexander Urbom, Anton Volchenkov, Colin White.
Forwards (15): Jason Arnott, David Clarkson, Patrik Elias, Jacob Josefson, Ilya Kovalchuk, Jamie Langenbrunner, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond, Adam Mair, Nick Palmieri, Zach Parise, Rod Pelley, Brian Rolston, Mattias Tedenby, Travis Zajac, Dainius Zubrus.
