Its a crime Ruff and Fitz decided to send him to AHL after his preseason. Yeah, I know, Fitz tried to save one more ELC year. Im overreacting. But it is looking fun now, especially with injured Miller from the start of the season. May be we would not lose some points on the start of the season.
If Devils will sign Luke this summer, Nemec may be the most expensive player if he will start to play bigger PP role. It will be smart enough from Fitz and Ruff to limit his PP opportunity, especially with healthy Dougie to save cap space.
I think Fitz will figure it out. He will trade, buy out someone if he will need to. Its a good problem to have. Hamilton nmc will be open for this moment. If he will be good enough to play solid pp game, someone will take his deal for free - we have actual examples with Burns.
