NEWARK — Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello will be looking to add goal-scoring in the offseason and that may come at the expense of trading a young defenseman or two.
There is also the matter of deciding which free agents should be retained.
Eric Gelinas and Adam Larsson are both restricted free agents. Bryce Salvador, Peter Harrold and Mark Fraser are unrestricted.
Salvador, the team's captain, would like to come back. He'd be willing to give up the 'C' and serve as a part-time player. Harrold has been a very useful seventh defenseman and Fraser offers some grit which would be missing if he leaves.
