Description
New Jersey looks set. They have so many promising young prospects, their key players are locked up long term and they have the cap space to make a big move IF they wanted. This team should be dangerous sooner rather than later.

*Contract values could be off as I don't consistently watch the Devils

*Gaudreau was signed just to show that they COULD add someone of his caliber, NJ would also be a top destination for him I assume

Overall, I would be very excited if I was a Devils fan!

stacked up front but the defense needs work. nj should look to move a young forward for a young defenseman.

Thanks for doing a Devils post!

I think...
1. Mercer stays at center and they go with 1-2-3 punch. Hischier can play hard defensive minutes and Mercer's D is pretty solid too.
2. Zacha stays next to Hischier, they seem to play well together (Zacha has 31 pts in 37 games as Nico's LW).
3. Wood is injured, but ideally our 4th line is once again Wood/McLeod/Bastian next year.
4. Last year, Kuokkanen and Sharangovich did well on Hughes' wings. They were there again for some of last night.

Kuokkanen* -- Hughes -- Sharangovich
Johnsson -- Mercer -- Bratt
Zacha -- Hischier -- Tatar**
Wood -- McLeod -- Bastian

Graves*** -- Hamilton
Siegenthaler -- Severson***
Smith + TBD****

ETA 2021-22: Alexander Holtz, Nolan Foote, either Graeme Clarke or Tyce Thompson
ETA 2022-23: Nikita Okhotiuk, Arseni Gritsyuk, a goalie in either Nico Daws or Akira Schmid
ETA 2023-24: Luke Hughes, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Samu Salminen, Nikola Pasic
ETA 2024-25: Ethan Edwards

------

* this spot will likely be Holtz's by this time next year.
** this spot will like go to Clarke, Thompson or Gritsyuk once Tatar departs
*** Both Graves and Severson have 1.5 years remaining. We likely extend on of them.
**** Smith can play both sides, so "TBD" could be any new acquisition or Bahl, Okhotiuk, White from AHL.

Think you get more or less everything right. Lines are good, the Bratt and Zacha contracts are reasonable, maybe Gaudreau is a bit pricey but would still be fantastic to have him.
I like that you moved a winger, Wood in this case, as NJD are gonna be running a surplus of top 9 wingers in the short-term. I'd like to get a little more back for him though.
Also, Zacha really shouldn't be playing center anymore, that turns him into liability and not an asset. He should be glued to Nico's wing for as long as he remains a Devil.

Could probably use another d-man, especially with Severson and Graves on expiring deals next year.

Any suggestions on who to target?

depends on what player nj wants to give up. i'm not that familar with nj to be honest. it's more of an offseason move anyway so i'd have to see who is available.
