Devils don't need another offensive D. Holtz only gets moved for a goalie or long term two way LHD

Matheson isn't the type of player the Devils need, but the objective value of the trade would make it difficult to pass up.

I admittedly don’t know a lot about Harris. But he doesn’t seem too much better than what we currently have behind Leddy and Krug. We’d probably just be better off extending Perunovich cheaply for the 3LD slot. Especially if our 2nd is in the 30s or early 40s
