TRENTON – Lou Lamoriello yesterday told The Post the Devils will pick up the option on Sergei Brylin’s contract, preventing their ace utilityman from becoming an unrestricted free agent.
In addition, Lamoriello said he will tender qualifying offers to all of his big club restricted free agents, all but ensuring Cam Janssen and Johnny Oduya will remain with New Jersey. That announcement also will cover Zach Parise and
Paul Martin, who may not be satisfied with the minimal pay raises of their qualifiers, but would remain subject
to matching or stiff compensation.
Lamoriello was here to unveil the new name and uniform of the ECHL Trenton Devils, formerly the Trenton Titans. The Devils now are the only franchise with the same nickname in the NHL, AHL (Lowell Devils) and ECHL. The new uniform is a duplicate of the parent club’s, except for a small Devils’ “NJ” logo beneath a horned “Trenton.”
