Fortunately for the New Jersey Devils, John Hynes has shown a willingness to play defensemen offhand as we saw last year with Mirco Mueller rather frequently. Knowing this means that looking at RD and LD UFA’s is realistic.
Before we get into this, I’ll explain my tiers. I’m breaking what I believe are realistic UFA options for the Devils into tiers based off contract projections from Matt Cane, @Cane_Matt on twitter. Numbers will come from Corsica.Hockey, Natural Stat Trick, and Viz’s from Bill Comeau (@billius27).
