Former New Jersey Devil Brian Rolston's career appears about to come full circle.
TSN reports Rolston is close to signing a four-year, $20 million contract with the Devils, the club that drafted him 11th overall in the 1991 entry draft and for whom he played his first six seasons, winning a Stanley Cup in 1995.
Rolston has been one of the more attractive UFAs available in this summer's market, even spurning offers from the Minnesota Wild and Tampa Bay Lightning.
It was expected he'd be signed for $5 million per season so the Devils are right on track in terms of where Rolston's value was on the open market.
A terrific two-way forward with one of the hardest slapshots in the league, Rolston will provide a much-needed boost to the Devils offensive game and will of course fit in well with their defensive system.
