Description

An idea of what the Devils roster could look like next year (not including any potential acquisitions from outside the organization).

Assuming current prospects can live up to their potential, the forward group looks solid. The defense could still use one or two more established players to improve it. The players listed as scratches/taxi squad are players who have played so far this season and have looked decent, and I would consider using them as trade bait to try and bring in a decent younger defender, as there may not be room for them in our lineup.

Looks pretty good. I would probably trade Butcher and replace him with Walsh. Not sure if Mercer is NHL Ready so I would replace him with Yegor.

If those young players continue to improve then they could be a surprise playoff team. In a perfect world, they'd use that cap space to get a big time RHD, through FA or trade.

I agree 100%. Legit top pair RHD would be huge for this team. Any ideas?

Overpay for Hamilton but I doubt it. If we get a top 10 pick, we could get Hughes, Power, Edvinsson, Clarke, Lambos, or Chakya however Clarke is the only one that is righty. Maybe we could wait for Walsh to develop because he's looked good so far in Binghamton
