Wednesday night Bob Stauffer a reporter for the Edmonton Oilers stated that the New Jersey Devils would be signing Milan Lucic to a professional tryout contract, not long after this news broke, Gerry Johannson, Milan Lucic's agent cleared the air and stated that he was not signing a contract with the Devils.

He also stated that Milan Lucic would need approval from the league in order to sign a contract with a team this year, and that's because after Lucic was arrested, he entered the NHLPA Players Assistance Program.

"Milan Lucic has not signed a PTO with the Devils according to his agent Gerry Johannson.

He needs to be cleared by the NHL before he signs anything." Rick Dhaliwal said.

The Devils also responded, stating that the league has full control of this situation and that the Devils did not sign Lucic to a PTO.

"Categorically untrue. His situation lies with the league. We haven't and couldn't sign him to a PTO. Apparently, Stauffer corrected t on his hit later n the day." The Devils told Nichols.

Milan Lucic is looking to keep his NHL dreams alive, but will need approval from the league before doing so.
