Michael McLeod is currently waiting for his court date, not playing hockey in the NHL


He was the guy a lot of devils fans wanted before he got hurt and shelved for the next 1-2 months.
That's probably fair, he is signed and probably would re-sign but yeah he's done for a while. Then again he also wouldn't cost much and is a great playoff performer so who knows.
 
With the cap announcement, we’re going to see the biggest “percentage of Cap” increase going to 3Cs. Contenders especially, will all have those $5-$6 million 3Cs they used to have The “luxury” positions will finally return after taking the biggest hit over the last 5 years.

So guys like JT Compher, Gourde, Copp, etc, won’t be considered overpaid anymore. Took fans awhile to get used to the drop, and it’ll take them awhile to get used to the increase again. Backup goalies will get a nice kick too. Then you’ll see the 4/5 Dmen and the luxury veteran winger, who can still put up 15-20 goals. The biggest increase is going to go to 3Cs who can play up, and play a 200’ game though.

You win cups up the middle. So expect some contracts coming up this summer, and extensions, you wouldn’t think possible a year ago. It also adds value to some of these current overpaid 3C/2C types. A player like Copp for example, will become a target for contenders, if Detroit is out of it.
 
Noesen has been great around the front of the net.

However, I really like the edge he played with away from his comfort zone today.

He laid out a few guys today. It's good to see players develop, even if the player is older.

I don't understand the fetish posters have with "young" players.

It's like, "Hey, if you're 30 or older, you're too old to play hockey."

Devils have fantastic centre depth. The two guys at the top are smaller, but both are great.
Hischier isn't small. McLeod is no Devils anymore and a big reason why the Devils need a 3C. I don't think he teturns to the NHL anytime soon.
