"There are still contracts to be negotiated, waiver bargains to grab, but forward Petr Sykora and defenseman Anton Stralman appear to have made the Devils as tryouts.

Indications are that the Devils and Sykora are negotiating a contract, likely to be one year and less than $1 million.

In addition, general manager Lou Lamoriello confirmed what was obvious from the first exhibition game, that prize first-rounder Adam Larsson has made the team.

Those three are among the 23 (regular-season roster size) left in camp unaffected by yesterday's demotions, waivers and release."
