With Michael McLeod being done with the team, Palat ending up being a bad signing, Holtz looking like he's not top line good and maybe not even top 6. The Devils need to keep young forwards and add goalies. IMO they are set on D.

Dougie Hamilton has missed 82 games over the last three years, and if Hamilton doesn’t play, the Devils season gets ruined.
It’s no coincidence the one time Hamilton was healthy and available, they went to the second round.
So to my thinking, the Devils need an extra reliable, affordable top-4 D who they could absolutely retain through his prime, to help cover for Dougie’s inevitable injury.
