I'd love to get Duclair in, big fan of his game and would likely have a significant impact on the roster.
The 3m AAV should be very manageable and the contract running for an additional year is a big plus.
Given that I'm also under the impression that the Panthers are forced to move salary out when all their LTIR gets activated I don't see the price in getting Duclair being very high.
Walsh, Okhotiuk and Bahl all lose their waiver exemption for next season, and the Devils will at best be able to fit two of them onto next season's roster.
Therefore I think one of them should be used as the main (only) piece going to the Panthers in a Duclair trade, preferably Walsh or Bahl.
That would make the Panthers a little younger and get a NHL ready 3rd pair defenceman in at a very cheap AAV.
