Description

If Bergeron came back for one more season, but I really feel like Krejci is done. We would also have to trade some big players, so it’s no easy moves this off-season. Finding a team for Ullmark and Hall that’s not on the east, but is also a Playoff contender is tough, but I really feel like the Devils would be an ideal trade partner.

Would love to get Mercer, but pretty sure the Devils aren't trading him.

Aside from the fact that we can't afford to acquire Jake DeBrusk from both a roster and a cap perspective, Kevin Fiala (72 pts), Adrian Kempe (67 pts) and Viktor Arvidsson (59 pts) all outscored him this season, and Gabe Vilardi and Alex Iafallo probably would have, too, if they had played a full season, so we're not a team that needs a top-6 wing.

Lol the craziest thing about this might be Freddy signing 8 years at 2.75 mill

Devils won't move Mercer and neither of Lohrei or Lysell will be ready for opening day from what I've read, they need a little more AHL seasoning. I like the logic of the moves though, try and leverage some of the current roster pieces in a trade to get some young players on ELCs that we can plug in for cheap, and then fill the holes with youth from providence. Moving Debrusk would be a mistake though.
