What happened: White, 29, appeared in three NHL games for San Jose during his first season in the organization. He added one goal in the playoffs last season.
Why it matters: The contract gives New Jersey flexibility to move White between levels. His limited NHL use in San Jose points to a depth competition rather than a guaranteed roster role.
By the numbers: White recorded 21 goals and 48 points in 46 games last season.
What to watch: Training camp will determine whether White earns an NHL roster spot or opens the season in the AHL.
