<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Book_Hockey</b></div><div>Could probably get Gally for less money. Also I don’t think Foote should be called up to play the 4th line- let him get another season in Kelowna and go from there. And that left side is going to get eaten alive, we need to trade Butcher for a physical LHD</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NjDevsfan12</b></div><div>I tend to stay away from trades now on armchair bc nobody ever wins those. I'm not too sure, but Foote did some kind of letter to Kelowna fans when the season ended about how it's time for him to move on, so I'm just playing the fact that he shows well in camp. You could probably get Gally for less, but this amount secures him coming to NJ.</div></div>

If I remember correctly Foote has played 25+ games in the WHL for 4 seasons; so he should be able to play in the AHL this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil1122</b></div><div>Maybe Walsh could slot into that spot if college hockey is cancelled this season</div></div>

I heard it was cancelled until the start of 2021 i.e. January 2021, so it could go either way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevilsFa89</b></div><div>But his Twitter engagement is great - and a fan favourite. These things are important for smaller market teams. Kinkaid is also a cheap backup, which would allow Schneider to move back to the NHL if his game picks up.</div></div>

I like resigning Kinkaid if he is fine with splitting time in the AHL with Senn, and I think you could get him for less than $1,000,000 on a two-way contract. He wasn't great the last 2 years and with how bad Schneider has been NJ might be the one of the easier spots he could get a chance to play in the NHL.

Start Blackwood, backup Schneider, if/ when Schneider sucks bring up Kinkaid, if Kinkaid sucks bring up Senn, and run with Blackwood and Senn.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>Even without retention the devils still have more than enough cap space to take on the full contract and in the worst case you leave him unprotected and he's off the books just like that. He's a 20-25 goal scorer yearly and its not like the devils couldn't use someone to just put the puck in the net. He'd probably be a great piece to play with Hischier or Hughes.</div></div>

From a positive view; from a negative view he is 31, already looking like he is regressing, cap hit $7,000,000 for 3 more years, had okay numbers playing on a much better team than the Devils, and has been scratched during the playoffs,

Also as Smitty mentioned, the Devils aren't a LW away from competing, might as well save cap and leave a spot open in the top 6 for Bratt, Boqvist, Kuokkanen, or maybe even Foote.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALitteral</b></div><div>When you are competing with Giroux and Lindblom for playing time, that's always going to be impacted. Look at the usage this year, he wasn't deployed heavily in the O-zone and still produced decent raw numbers (19g/40pts in 66 games) skating &lt;15mins a night. His goals/60 sandwiches right in between Kyle Connor and Leon Draisaitl. Note: I am not saying id rather have JVR than either of those two or that he is as good as either of those two, but he still scores.

I stick to my original statement that he would bring some finish to that line and played a better two-way game than previous years.</div></div>

JVR would probably be the best LW on the team but, at this point, I would rather see the Devils give that spot to a rookie or 1 year FA and see what they can do. Adding JVR and Brodin would make the Devils better but I don't think it would be enough to make the playoffs.

At this point I would rather the Devils just sign/ trade for a couple of veterans/ cap dumbs to fill out the roster and basically tank for 2021. Kinda like what Ottawa this season did: let the rookies/ younger players play and see who has it and who doesn't.
