Another reason to go with the Devils (if they are in on Lindholm) is because their first round pick right now is sitting at 13th overall… that pick likely drops out of the top 15 if the Devils make the playoffs but still a much more valuable first round pick than what the Canucks have.

Would not surprise me if the Devils would put more protection on their first round pick than the Canucks. The Devils might make it so they have the choice to push the first round pick to next year if they don’t make the playoffs.

Either way, their pick would still be worth more than the Canucks first round pick because the Devil’s pick next season would likely have no protection in that scenario.
