Devils fans -- what am I missing here? Why did McLeod not get qualified? He seems like an ideal bottom 6 center to me?
Apparently they are afraid of the arb award....personally, i wouldn't be surprised if there is some Team Canada fall out fear as well though.
I am somewhat surprised that this happened though, tbh. I feel like he's going to get legit interest across the league as a bottom six center. Think he may have had some trade value for rfa rights if they weren't going to qualify him. Don't think that they'll be able to afford bringing him back if they were afraid arb award....could absolutely see someone do something highly questionable with regards to a contract offer to mikey
