Devils 2016-17 team discussion (player news and notes) - Part IX

nah I think Hischier would be fine in the middle. His awareness and vision on top of his actual skills I think will keep him at center. he's not really that small either 6'0 and 175lb is fine for someone who is 18.

Works for me then...just get him Wood's trainer and at least one wing with size who can get battle on the boards, clear lanes, and block the goalie.

What is the chance that boucher ends up back on the devils ?

Slim to none.

Devils seemed only interested in claiming him if it meant the opportunity to send him down to Albany. I don't think they have any interest in him besides as a AHL/NHL forward they can bounce back and forth.
