See above. I'd argue that a guy to play on the bottom pair with Clifton is more of a realistic need at the moment. Too many people here focus on handedness. Our 'top 4' are set assuming Samuelsson can stay healthy. Who really cares if they are all left shots?
I really think we're done at forward though. Zucker was the 'top 6' addition, he's a placeholder for Kulich, Rosen or whoever else eventually makes it. Decent chance we see Benson there from the outset too, pushing Zucker to the bottom six...
It makes no sense to move Greenway for a more offense first guy at this point either. I could see him being an important cog in Lindy's system. He is a unique player. We have plenty of offence first guys in the pipeline but nobody like him.
Have you seen how Lindy pairs up? All the Devils defensemen have played the same ice-time, except for the veteran Smith, he played less. So why do we need another LD for the third pair if we have Sammy, Johnson, Gilbert and Bryson. We need an RD who will play with Power or Byram. Does four LDs in the top 4 affect the game at all? Is it convenient for defense, is it convenient to move the puck under pressure? Dahlin can do it, but will the rest of them be convenient? I saw that Ruff likes a balanced defense, we do not have it, imo.
Maybe, but I also thought that Krebs was our 3C and Adams traded for McLeod. So we will see.
Now we have Malenstyn, Lafferty and NAK, only they are much faster than Greenway. I still support adding a top 6 forward, and I am not against Greenway, but this is my opinion.
