Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton (19): (James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports)
The New Jersey Devils have been searching for years for a legitimate number one defensemen and with the cap space they have, it is entirely possible they can make it happen. With Seth Jones asking for a trade, he’s still an unlikely option for the Devils as his attention will be with a team primes to win. There’s another option the Devils should look into that would cost a lot less in terms of assets. Dougie Hamilton becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the month.
