Scott Gomez isn't the only player the New Jersey Devils aren't interested in re-signing.

Devils general manager Ray Shero told Tom Gulitti of The Record that the team will let Steve Bernier, Mark Fraser, and Peter Harrold hit the free agent market as well.

"We're not going forward right now with any of them," Shero told Gulitti. "I've notified their agents that they're going to July 1. I talked to Scott Gomez's agent and we're not going to go be going in that direction. Bernier, we're going to July 1 and just see what's out there. Fraser the same thing and Harrold likely the same thing."

Gulitti added that Shero "may be" interested in a reunion with the players if they can't find suitable deals on the open market and if the Devils haven't already upgraded at their positions.

Bernier, 30, potted 16 goals and added 16 assists in 67 games last season. The point total tied his career-high, which he set with the Vancouver Canucks in 2008-09.

Fraser, 28, only appeared in 34 games for the Devils last season, earning four assists, while adding 55 penalty minutes.

Harrold, 32, tallied five points in 43 games and was a minus-10.
