Start it up! - Alex Foster and Andre Deveaux re-sign

(First post!)

Looks like forwards Alex Foster and Andre Deveaux have both signed one-year deals with the Leafs (according to Cap Geek). Seems like some Marlies filler..

Deveaux, 25, was brought in last season as a UFA by Cliff Fletcher in order to fill the 'enforcer' void. He didn't exactly work out in that capacity for the Leafs but provided the Marlies with a solid 6'4 presence each night. He even chipped in with some unsuspected offense! (14-11-25pts in 38 games with the Marlies).

Foster, 24, plays a solid two-way game for the Marlies and contributed 35 points in 80 games, which unfortunately was a step down from the 45 points he recorded the season prior.

Here are two clips of these guys courtesy of youtube:
