I think Smith makes the team and the Vatanen signing pushes Kulikov to the 7th D and Carrick to the taxi squad. I'm moreso concerned with what happens to the powerplay. Vatanen is only really that good on the PP but Butcher, Smith, PK and Severson were the ones that I thought would be in those spots since it seems Lindy is running 2 defenseman on the PP. Maybe the Devils signed him bc one is being moved (possibly in a Laine deal) but I don't know if they have the appetite for what that would cost.
