ABSTRACT:
Some six weeks after Brendan Morrison and Patrik Elias were locked out of Devils camp as unsigned restricted free agents, a breakthrough may have occurred in contract talks.
Although GM Lou Lamoriello has steadfastly insisted that he has given each player his “final” offer, believed to be around $600G per season, Lamoriello may have shown a degree of flexibility in negotiations last week that could lead to a deal with Morrison, and perhaps Elias, as well.
“We’re having discussions with the club. From that perspective it’s positive,” said Kurt Overhart, the agent for Morrison. “We had a positive discussion. We’re working on it.”
