Description

Sell high on Binnington. Huge fan of him, but also believe in Hofer and won't be able to commit big dollars to two goalies after this year. NJD are desperate for a top goalie.

Trade Buch/Scotty to VGK who are all-in as always. Hague fits age (25) range of future team and hopefully will slide down to 2nd/3rd pairing LHD as time goes on.

Keeping Krug/Faulk/Schenn until they become M-NTCs are this season. May be able to move at deadline since it is final chance for them to totally control destiny.

Saad/Leddy/Hayes also available at deadline.

Next offseason (25-26): Snuggerud (1st line winger), Dvorsky (2C), Lindstein (2nd/3rd LHD) hopefully join. Hofer is resigned. Ideally, Bolduc/Dean/Brisson step up. Sign UFAs to fill remaining spots or whoever comes back in trades although it won't be much.

Binnington is not a guy I'd like to see in Jersey, I'd pass.
He's also not worth a pick that could be a lottery team in 8 games either (swayman might be he only one if ever available, I dont think that happens either)

Hofer still another year of ELC. And I doubt he'll be expecting big bucks any time real soon.
