Those aren't the only two options.
If you're worried about Pospisil's durability, you can shop him around the league and try to trade him individually, either for futures or in a hockey trade. A guy who plays like that, especially at his salary, can be worth a lot to the right contender. I don't think the Devils are the team that would value him most.
Using him as a throw-in to get a pick that you could acquire with other assets is wasteful.
