The New Jersey Devils signed forward Luke Evangelista to a five-year contract extension, per multiple reports. The deal carries a $36.25 million total value with a $7.25 million average annual value, per Yahoo Sports.
Evangelista, 24, was acquired from the Nashville Predators earlier this month in exchange for draft picks, ESPN reported. The extension came just two weeks after the trade, securing his place in the Devils' forward group going forward.
