Lou Lamoriello apparently went into this offseason trying to prove Thomas Wolf wrong.

Because apparently in New Jersey, you can go home again.

The Devils general manager started shopping on Tuesday looking for more offense and he came up with some very familiar names. First he inked Brian Rolston to a four year, $20 million contract and then took back Bobby Holik on a one year deal for $2.25 million.

Both players won Stanley Cups with New Jersey and will be looking to do it again in the twilights of their careers.

Rolston, 35 played for New Jersey from 1994-99, when he was traded to Boston for Claude Lemieux. The left wing continued to be productive into his 30s and scored 31 goals and 28 assists for the Minnesota Wild last year. Although he shows no sign of dropping off, the contract does run until Rolston is 39, making it kind of tricky.

The same can’t be said for Holik, who will be 38 in January. The checking center was a Devil from 1992-2002 when he signed with the Rangers. The Blueshirts bought him out after the lockout and he played in Atlanta the last three seasons. He had 15 goals and 19 assists last year.

Joining the two veterans will be Jay Pandolfo and Bryce Salvador, both of whom Lamoriello signed before the 12:00 p.m. opening bell, but he is letting Sergei Brylin walk away from the Prudential Center.
