Description

This is the make or break offseason for NJ, its a weaker free agent market, a lot of contracts need to be assessed and signed, and there isn't wiggle room for bad contracts.

Success is not linear, last year was a great year but you had some ideal situations, A 3rd pair RHD that just signed a 48 million dollar contract and very surprising goaltending. This is going to be a great team for the rest of the decade but the navigation and development this upcoming year is key. After this season Hellebuyck, Saros, or Sorokin is going to be targeted if the goaltender situation is still up in the air. Luke Bahl and Simon are ready so it might get frustrating at times when 3 of your 6 Dmen haven't played 100 NHL games coming into next year

Trades

NJD

Colton, Ross [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

I think the log jam in NJ on the back end will push Walsh out, I think he is an overlooked prospect around the league. Tampa for cap reasons will get a a guy that can be a third pairing puck moving D-man for a guy they probably can't pay

TBL

Walsh, Reilly [RFA Rights]
2024 5th round pick (COL)

NJD

Podkolzin, Vasily

VAN

Blackwood, Mackenzie [RFA Rights]
Sharangovich, Yegor [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Ryan Graves Rights

Mac Rights are a stretch, he is 5-0 against the Canucks and they can get him on a friendly contract, I dont know in depth the situation with Thatcher and Spencer Martin.

With the newfound capspace from OEL buyout I feel like the nucks say yes. Blackwood > Marty for sure but not sure how long blackwood would be here due to silovs coming up soon. Idk enough about sharangovich but ryan graves would be clutch too.

Not that I am not a Holtz believer but I wouldnt rule out a prospect swap with him. Devils prospect wise have some depth with, Gritsyuk and Casey highlighting the group. I always liked Podkolzin, think he has just had a rough go in vancouver along with much of their non star players the last few years.

Quoting: BrockChoy

Sharangovich has hit 20's for goals before, he kills penalties and has a great wrister, just his shot selection some time confuses me. More so his decision not to use his wrist shot from distance when it has proved to be leathal with his release.

Can’t see the Canucks moving Podkolzin unless it’s in a package to get a young top 6C or top 4 D
