 | NJ Devils cut winger Brendan Shanahan |
 Rich Chere/The Star-Ledger
There was speculation as to the status of veteran right winger Brendan Shanahan, who did not take part in Thursday morning's Devils practice.
General manager Lou Lamoriello solvered the mystery surrounding Shanahan when he revealed the team has cut the future Hall of Famer.
"Over the past couple of days Jacques (Lemaire) and I have had conversations. The unexpected has transpired," Lamoriello said. "It's not that Brendan cannot play. It's that these (young) players have become something special at this time."
Shanahan, 40, is still on the Devils' roster. As long as he remains on the roster, his $1 million salary will count against the cap.
Lamoriello suggested he would be removed from the roster shortly, at which time the $1 million would no longer count against the cap. The GM said it is possible he could trade Shanahan, put him on waivers or that the winger could accept a position within the organization.
"This is a mutual decision," Lamoriello said. "An amicable one. After today we'll make the decisions we have to make."
Shanahan did not speak with reporters, but issued a statement.
"I have not decided to continue with the New Jersey Devils for my 22nd NHL season," Shanahan's statement read. "When I signed this past summer, Lou Lamoriello, Jacques Lemaire and I agreed that if we were unable to find a suitable fit in which I would be able to compete and contribute at the level I expect from myself, then I would simply step aside.

(User Info | Send a Message) | In other news, the Palatzo Press is reporting that the Islanders have contacted Shanahan to gauge his interest in playing with young John Tavares. Brendan seemed interested, however, when told that he would be expected to drive the team bus, read john bed time stories, and clean the three hundred section of the Coliseum, he respectfully declined. Shanahan seemed especially concerned when he overheard a conversation between Garth Snow and John in which Snow told him which body part goes through the bg hole in the sweater. Once that was mastered, John asked why the name on the back read "loser." Pictures can be found below.
