Great Job Todd as always
Great point that Chris Lam will probably take over once Lou decides to step down with maybe Marty taking a lesser role with the organization. I'm also hoping that Lou lam does make another mover before the season, maybe other players become available from other teams and they need a defenseman. I think Butler and Tedneby can make this team as well but all depends how much patience DeBoer has with them (and their defensive lapses).
Another Question: Do you think Clarkson can be traded (probably could package him with a D-man for a good return) or that the Devils like him too much to trade him?
Only reason I say this is because the Devils need a top-6 forward and Clarkson really is only going to be a 3rd liner. Also we all know he probably won't get 30 again and he's on his last year of his contract and might want a big raise which we all know how that goes around here. I know Deboer loves him and he's good friends with Marty but realisticly trading him ( in a package) might give us the best chance of getting back a skilled top-6 forward.
