Athanasiou goes for a pair of 2nd rounders and Lebanc is commanding a 1st? Tampa is going to figure it out and sign Sergachev and they wouldn't want Butcher. I expect almost no one wants Butcher at 3.7. If the team ends up with 3 first round picks this year, they need to use all 3. What they really need is a critical mass of good players they have ELC and RFA leverage over to keep them in NJ since no one wants to come here. Hoffman isn't taking less AAV than Anders Lee to play in NJ.

NJ trading thier 2021 1st is a huge mistake. Literally trading away a potential top 5 pick is never a smart move

They're not going to be a bottom 5 team in the standings (lottery anything can happen). I think trading wood and a 1st is a mistake, i dont think labanc fills a real need.

I'm prob the minority but teams wish they had someone like wood, you have to remember hes still only 24 and hes the kind of guy that really makes a difference come playoffs. hes big, strong, fast, and occasionally finds his hands.

The fans are impatient and haven't seen this because we haven't played meaningful hockey in a long time, but wood brings a different element and anyone with eyes can see he creates havoc all over the ice for everyone lol

What makes you think they are going to improve next year to the point that thier 1st isnt going to most likely be a top 10 pick?

I actually really like Wood, fast, physical, and plays a complete game. Think they were smart to keep him around through the deadline.

This year quite literally everything went wrong. On top of that we had 0 goaltending for 50% of the season, as well as an unmotivated team and garbage system. Despite all of that, we are moving in the wrong direction for the lottery because the team is finally developing towards understanding the intangibles.

The ownership showed, too late imo, but showed they are not here for another rebuild. Which translates to a proven coach with a proven system for next season.

The young kids started to show some bite, nico, jack, pavel and jesper..at a certain point the frustration boils over. It was dumbfounding how long it took this team to show any emotion.

Ty smith wasn't ready last year but you better believe he will be this year. The defense will be addressed and improved, which should lead to better goaltending for anyone that plays in net

and for the first time in a long time binghampton is actually playing meaningful hockey that might actually improve the players in our system.

On top of all of this, we have an astronomical amount of cap space that can be spent or weaponized to retool and address needs.

Gusev is a star, Nico and Bratt keep getting better. Zacha will be and is an essential part of this team, and Jack will put on some weight. There is a lot going for this team and a lot to like for players on the move to consider when evaluating ntc's and free agency. Of course theres a chance they stink and draft bottom ten, but in actuality this year was more of a fluke in my opinion. I expect marked improvement next year.

I also believe Blackwood is going to make waves next year, I think hes going to be a top goalie for the next few years, which certainly raises expectations.

Oh and I also expect PK to be much better next year, now that he's healthy, he'll be focusing more on mobility which should serve him well
