I'd be happy to be wrong though.
I still think Holtz is a good target, and I also love the idea of that American D prospect Seamus Casey, providing he's willing to sign an ELC as soon as his college season is done.

Thing with the Devils is they have top 10 expected goals for stats, top 10 expected goals against stats, but are second last in the league for goals against above expected. None of the goaltenders in their system look good this year, and would be a risky bet for them just to hope one of them turns it around next year. You would have to think if the Flames retained on Markstorm, that would be a pretty attractive option for the next few years while they continue to let their younger goaltenders develop. Would at least give them hope of making a couple playoff runs while they still have a bunch of players on ELCs.
