Six years ago Bobby Holik left the New Jersey Devils to sign with the New York Rangers, the Devils arch-rivals.

Today, he's returned to the Devils, signing a one-year, $2.5 million contract.

It's like old home week in New Jersey what with the Devils earlier signing today of Brian Rolston.

Unlike Rolston Holik is no longer at the top of his game, never scoring more than 34 points per season in each of the last three, all spent with the Atlanta Thrashers.

At this point in his career the 38-year-old Holik is a third line checking center but he provide welcome depth at that position for a Devils team considered thin down the middle.
