<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Right now, teams are shadowing Hughes, they put their best defensive line-ups out against him every game. The Flyers put Provorov out there every time Hughes was on the ice. The Isles did same with Pulock and Pelech. Having Hischier back will make them significantly harder to defend against. By far will be the biggest catalyst we will see on the ice...is how having #13 back will spread defensive match-ups more thin.

I love Henrique. Every Devil fan does. But his $5.8 million salary makes me balk.</div></div>

I agree with the his cap hit being concerning but I guess it depends on the plans for TDL, Zajac and expansion draft. Also Butcher is getting 3733333 on the bench and I don’t see a way for him into the lineup barring injuries (there are younger players that could slot in for this role if he is gone) If Gusev, Murray and/or Palms go at the TDL, Zajac leaves or signs a much lower AAV, and Seattle takes Wood or Johnsson, the Devils will have 15-20 million off the books with already almost 10 million cap space already.
