Pretty sure ANA rejects, PK has negative value

Drafting Marco Rossi makes no sense when you've both Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes as your 1C and 2C, Those scraps don't get you Cam Fowler he has a 4 team trade list and i'm pretty sure NJ isn't on it.

Even with Butcher and a 1st going to ANA?

I'd do that, Butcher is really good, and that first is probably around 20

Rossi would move to LW IMO and I am not of fan of drafting for need. If Rossi is there, you have to draft BPA. What happens God forbid Jack Hughes isn't the player we are projecting him to be? At least we have a guy in Rossi that can potentially move to LW or C if need be. I think Rossi is better than Holtz at 7

draft BPA. if Rossi manages to slip to where, 7? he will be BPA

Butcher can’t defend lol, doesn’t seem like the Ducks way of doing things haha

I think isles would accept

Rossi is much better as a C then a winger though, He's a natural Centerman not sure it's wise to move him to LW.

Possibly, I definitely think he's one of the better players in this years draft.

He's good enough at defending

I think the Ducks would accept if you retain a little bit of Subban’s contract maybe like 2 or 3 mil

So why does it make "no sense" to draft Rossi if he's the best player available on the board? Just because you don't know where to play him? Believe me, if he's good enough, the devils will find a place to play him haha

The "BPA" argument sucks, it's a subjective term. I would argue that Raymond/Holtz/Perfetti are all better than Rossi, and they play wing which suits NJ's needs far better. Devils should be taking one of the many high end wingers available, not another undersized playmaking C when they have 2 of those.

Because he's a playmaker, He's definitely better situated at 2C then at LW as a small winger he'd probably get exposed more then as a 2C but that's just my personal feeling.

Raymond is better, but likely won't be available, but after him and Rossi, there is a noticeable drop... (imo at least, and if there was a consensus top 5 it would be Laf/Byfield/Raymond/Stutzle/Rossi)

That works for the Isles. Could either flip Wood for another pick or stick him on the 4th line. Might make sense for them to throw another pick back to the Devils or take out the third.

I simply disagree, I wouldn't draft Rossi with the Arizona pick if he was there. He is the last player in this top 10 NJ needs.

Perfetti plays C, Raymond probably won't make it to 7 (also he's a playmaking winger as well). So besides Holtz, what winger at #7 would you like that is not undersized?? Because of all them are undersized! If you wanna make the case for Holtz, then fine. But I still think Rossi is an all around better player then Holtz & Perfetti.

And why does BPA suck?? I'd rather have the best player than someone we need, and have to pass on a stud to fill that need

Perfetti spent a lot of time at LW, and projects as a winger in the NHL. Raymond is a very underrated scorer, not solely a playmaker. They're smaller guys but they're bigger than Rossi, both 5'11 and Rossi is 5'9... I told you why BPA sucks, it's a subjective thought. Just because you or most people think Rossi is the BPA doesn't make it true, nor does it mean NJD staff think the same. Also what quantifies him as the "best" player available in that spot? I would argue Holtz is the "better" player available at 7 for the Devils considering he fits a lot more of what they need (RW goal scorer with decent size). There are many things that influence the "best" in BPA, it's not just simply "he scored 120 points and is good defensively so he's automatically the best player in that range". He might be the best player available for someone else, not NJD.
