Colin White

This is another player who the Devils could get the best out of, but it might be a risk that hurts the prospects already in the building. Colin White is much different than Comtois. He doesn’t have the excitement of the analysts. That’s because he’s been in the NHL longer and has shown less.

White had 15 points last season. He scored eight goals in 68 games with the Florida Panthers. He signed there after spending the first segment of his career with the Ottawa Senators.

White once had 41 points for the terrible 2018-19 Ottawa Senators. We’re not sure why he was never able to grow on those numbers. The former first-round pick never lived up to the hype. However, he does still have something that got him drafted 21st overall. His speed is still there. This would be a depth signing, but a depth signing that can jump into the lineup at any time.

It’s been eight years since Colin White scored the game-winning goal for Team USA at the U18 World Championships. White did play with Florida during their run to the Stanley Cup Final, but he only contributed two points. Still, the Devils could use him as an extra center who could jump into the lineup and contribute.
