Dell had a bit of a strange season this past year. After signing a one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he would not end up playing a single game for them. Instead, he was put on waivers and claimed by the New Jersey Devils. He played seven games in Jersey and had a 1-5-0 record to go along with an .857 save percentage.

With Buffalo rebuilding, Dell does have a chance to earn a permanent spot with the team. We will see if he is able to, as he was a reliable backup goalie for the San Jose Sharks just two seasons ago.
