The more that the Devils delays, the worse it seems to be getting.
As it is today they still have 2 games in hand on the Flyers but they now need to make up 7 points to get into that 3rd divisional spot. And it is worth noting that the Flyers are playing very average hockey (5-5-0).
Another interesting tidbit is the fact that the 'Canes are one of the teams rumoured to be shopping for a goalie. If the Devils "settle" for Saros/Gibson and the Canes get Markstrom, there will be a lot of comparisons between those division rivals.
There are a lot of ways for this to blow up in Fitz's face but I think the worst path is "do nothing".
