Hughes-Hischier is starting to look like a pretty potent 1-2 punch and are both locked up on bargains. Hamilton is the only other non-ELC currently signed beyond the end of this year - his contract is a little rich, but not a big deal since the Devils have such a nice clean slate to play with.

I agree NJ is a danger. But aside from younger linemates (who haven’t done as much as Lindholm and Tkachuk) and maybe travel, I don’t see much advantage for Gaudreau there versus Calgary. He already has decent D and goaltending and top notch linemates with proven chemistry here.
