The New Jersey Devils have signed defenseman Brandon Gormley to a one-year, two-way contract worth $650,000 at the NHL level.
The 24-year-old was originally drafted 13th overall by the Coyotes in 2010, and split the 2015-16 campaign between the Avalanche and their AHL affiliate in San Antonio.
Gormley became an unrestricted free agent after the Colorado Avalanche decided not to sign a qualifying offer, and will now battle it out for a spot on New Jersey's blue line in 2016-17.
In 58 career NHL games, Gormley has recorded two goals, three assists, and 54 shots.
