Eric Gelinas: Remains Unsigned With Camp Looming

Gelinas, a restricted free agent, remains unsigned as training camp is slated to open next week and could miss the start of training camp.

Analysis:

The Devils would love to get Gelinas under contract as he has a shot to earn more regular playing time this season provided he can earn the trust of the team's coaching staff. Gelinas exploded early in his rookie season before tapering off, mostly due to a tenuous roster spot and limited ice time while he was in the lineup. With 29 points over 60 games, the bulk of which came early in the season, Gelinas was one of the team's top scorers from the blue line and enters this season as a definite player to watch. 17 of his 29 points came on the power play, but so much of his roster spot will be tied to his ability to shore up his own zone that it can make him a risky pick in some leagues until more is cleared up regarding his contract and role on the squad. Tread carefully, even if he signs.
