According to a report, #NJDevils Dougie Hamilton is out until "at least April, early May."
At some point, the belief is they'll place him on LTIR in order to utilize his $9 million cap hit.

Torn pecs are no joke.
Just shut him down completely
Oof. Silver lining is Nemec can get some more experience and learn from his mistakes, and dougie will be back for the playoffs
its our turn for cap shenanigans! now win some games so we make playoffs and dont miss this opportunity
Most realistic way I see this factoring in is that we shouldnt have to ask teams to retain in a trade if we end up being buyers.
If we have a similar offer on the table as another team for an upcoming FA trade piece (Tanev, Henrique, Hanifin, etc) but we dont have to ask for retention that might help us be favorites. Dont know how much it helps for guys with term as we know Dougies 9M will be back on the books next year.
