Bahl, in-house replacement to Graves and will most likely be dirt cheap in terms of AAV.
McLeod, finally emerging as a fantastic 4C, role player and playoff performer, and will most likely be dirt cheap in terms of AAV.

For a dime a dozen middle 6F that doesn't provide anything unique to the Devils other than being a fan of the team as a child?
I hope the would Devils decline this if offered.

Unless colton gets offersheeted for 4mil AAV or more I would rather just keep him, I think he has a higher ceiling he just needs more ice time and we still have haydn fleury to put on LD. Also I believe that ryfors will be in the SHL next season so it would most likely be goncalves if they dont resign perry, bellemare or someone else.

Dime a dozen middle 6 Bhahahahahahaha Bhahahahahahaha Bhahahahahahaha Colton over the last 2 seasons 1.14 goals per 60
Playing with 3/4th liners compared to say
Tavares. 1.12
Kubalik .9
Marchand 1.16
Panerin 1.00
HISCHIER 1.07
He may be the most underrated player on CF.

Shame Colton's (1.09 5v5 g/60) got nothing on elite players such as Carrier (1.1 g/60), Mayhew (1.13), Malgin (1.18) and Paul frickin Cotter (1.22).
Look at me I can also quote univariate statistical rates without context :'D :'D :'D

Now if we were to compare all encompassing impacts by way of contextual modelling of Ross Colton and say, a middle 6 fwd currently with the Devils struggling to hold down a consistent spot in the starting lineup, what might that look like?
Well:



If you really believe that Colton is something that he clearly isn't, then by all means keep him.
Let Colton lead you to another cup to close out your competitive window.
The Devils will do just fine without him.

Colton-to-NJD is getting way oversold.

There are a hundred guys out there who didn't grow up as NJ fans that can play 3LW for us.
