Devils add center Rob Niedermayer

Devils' President Lou Lamoriello Friday announced that the team have signed free agent center Rob Niedermayer. "I felt that we needed a little size and strength down the middle," Lamoriello said. "Now with Travis and Zubie and Robbie, I think we have three pretty good size, strength center ice men. We know Robbie well, of course. We've played against him enough in the Stanley Cup. He's had tremendous Stanley Cup experience and can be used in different roles."

Niedermayer scored 14 goals and 7 assists with Anaheim Ducks in 2008-09. But he lost to the Devils in the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals before achieving the trophy with Ducks in 2007. Niedermayer is expected to join the team by Monday.
