So this morning the Devils official twitter tweeted out asking followers to help Mattaeu to 3,000 followers... I thought no big deal, he's just a prospect. Then a few minutes ago @BryceSalvador was being promoted by the NHL.

Maybe Bryce had a Twitter account written into his 3 year contract?

This is a slippery slope Lou!

Does Elias have a new twitter?
He posted during the season in '09, but hasn't posted a thing since then. (@pelias - verified)

There are a bunch of Devils' prospects who have one (and who had one before they were drafted). I suspect it's a recognition of the new media world, but like ZGF said, I wouldn't be surprised if they all go dark when training camp starts.

Prospects and AHL players have always had them. Remember Mike McKenna broke the news he was being called up late in the night and the next morning his twitter account was gone?

A lot of professional athletes get in trouble with twitter, but if educated properly it's an incredible marketing tool for organizations. Not that I see Bryce Salvador's twitter being all that exciting. Probably being used in connection with some business he is part owner of. Here's hoping to a few more twitter accounts popping up.

"The Stanley Cup has fallen from the Stars. The new millennium has its first Stanley Cup Champion, and it's the New Jersey Devils." Mike Miller calling the Devils winning the Stanley Cup.

"It goes to the captain and then there are handoffs during a skate around the ice" Mike Emrick as Scott Stevens is being presented the Stanley Cup.

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice
Many of you asked me today about @brycesalvador. It is his official Twitter account, but says he has no plans to post on it.

Brilliant.

Edit: Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice
@brycesalvador said he established the account because people were posting on imposter accounts in his name and he wanted to end that.

The Devils twitter account was trying to help him get more followers. Maybe Lou decided that was a no-no LOL
