Palat is a fine middle 6 winger.
If Palat's production and analytics came from a guy making 1.5 mill or even 3 mill (again, you are basically suggesting he is worth LESS than 1.5 mill by suggesting a buyout), you would be esctatic.
Palat was a fine middle 6 winger last season. It's unclear if he is still that.
Anyway the most likely way out of this is perma-LTIR. If he is through, it's rare that a player with a decade of competent play shows up to camp finished at age 33 and the reason isn't some sort of injury.

Easily the biggest difference so far this year is they don’t give up multiple odd man rushes every f***ing game like last year. In seven games so far I think I can count the amount on one hand. Last year they gave up pretty much a handful every single game. It was one of the most embarrassing things I’d ever seen as a devils fan.
Lindy’s coaching and “system” was straight junk, I think it’s pretty much undeniable at this point.

I'm hoping he redeems himself in the playoffs. That's what he was brought here for, but we never got there last season.

What the hell is going on with Pesce? Need him and Luke back, we can’t have Dougie, Dillon and Kovy playing 24 minutes a night.
The other crazy aspect of Ruff’s defensive system was how often both defensemen would chase the puck below the goal line. We got caught all the time without anybody tying up the net front man, and if we lost the puck battle in the corner it often led to an easy tap in goal against, or at least a high danger slot chance.
I think it’s happened once or twice this year, with the most prominent example being Carolina scoring late in the second period. But it’s way less frequent.
Keefe’s far superior defensive structure is helping our goalies immensely. The goalies themselves being better also helps.

Not sure the regular practice jersey matters at all for morning skates. They don’t usually have any contact.

The other day he said he liked Jack’s attention to detail defensively so he probably hasn’t. Now with the puck idk how he could be happy most of the time
