Zubrus, who has played in over 1000-NHL games, has spent the last six seasons with the organization and he reiterated his desire to remain with the Devils.
“As I said at the end of the year, my first choice is staying where I am. That hasn’t changed,” Zubrus told The Record’s Tom Gulitti. “I feel the same way. As of now, I’m still a Devil. My agent and Lou have talked. They’re still talking and, hopefully, this is going to get done.”
The 15th-overall pick from 1996 NHL Entry Draft has 208 goals and 548 points in a career that has seen him suit up for the Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Washington Capitals, and Devils.
