The New Jersey Devils have picked up free agent Erik Rasmussen.
Rasmussen, who made $1.1 million, last season with Los Angeles, became an unrestricted free agent after the Kings didn't give him a qualifying offer.
``Erik brings size, strength, and skill to our organization,'' said Devils GM Lou Lamoriello. ``He is young, yet experienced, and gives our hockey club depth up front.''
Rasmussen, 26, posted four goals and 12 assists with 28 penalty minutes in 57 games last season. He was acquired by the Kings from Buffalo on July 24, 2002.
The six-foot-three, 210-pound forward has 37 goals and 58 assists with 207 penalty minutes in 338 career games.
