Four defensemen from BU’s 2009 national championship team have signed new NHL contracts, with three of them changing teams. Kevin Shattenkirk signed with the Rangers (4 years, $26.6M). David Warsofsky signed with the Avalanche (2 years, $1.35M). Brian Strait headed back East to join the Devils (1 year, $650K). Erik Gryba re-upped with Edmonton (2 years, $1.8M).

In New Jersey, Strait is reunited with Coach John Hynes. In 2006 with Hynes behind the Team USA bench, Strait captained the gold-medal winning US squad, which included Patrick Kane and Erik Johnson, in the World U18 Championships. Strait later played for Hynes with the AHL Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins.
