Devils future

Created by: NHLfan10506
Team: 2021-22 New Jersey Devils
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 12, 2021
Published: Apr. 13, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Looking through some possible moves for NJD...and what their depth chart could look like.

Top-12 forwards, top-6 defense and top-2 goalies would make out roster.

Trades are simply examples of types of trades I think they would do. I am not singling out Beagle as trade target, just type of player they may acquire before expansion draft.

I also believe they will sign/trade for 1-2 veteran d-man.

Biggest needs are:
(1) Top-4 defensive d-man (which may come from within)
(2) Long-term back-up goalie
(3) RHD depth

            VAN passes. Beagle most likely LTIR next season.

            Bolts might do that. Depends on how valuable they feel Foote is for the future. The idea of getting rid of Johnson without giving up a 1st is attractive

            Beagle might be on LTIR. If you replace him with Roussel then it looks fine.

            you've made a list of their biggest needs and a goal scorer isn't on it? I suppose you're one of those Devils fans who think Holtz is going to score 50 every year and fix everything

            No chance Foote is cap fodder to big an area of need for bolts, would have been like trading Sergachev after his rookie year completely assinine.

            #2 should be a goal scoring winger unless you count Holtz as that

            No, I am one of those Devils fans that thinks we are still mid-rebuild, and wants to prioritize depth everywhere. When we get to the point where we are one goal-scoring wing away from contention, we will cross that bridge when we get there.

            Defense is still our major liability. I hope they use both first rounders on d-men. But even then, we need one of Okhotyuk, Bahl, Mukhamidullin to take big step.

            Also, there are 6-7 guys here who are callable of scoring 20+.

            #2 should be a goal scoring winger unless you count Holtz as that


            Rising tide lifts all boats.
            Would rather see a system built that produces tons of scoring opportunities. The goals will come.
            Look at the league leaders in goals now. All those guys have teammates, sometimes multiple teammates, on that list. Good systems = lots of scoring opportunities.

            Devils need d-men, and their centers to control the game. Wingers who can bury the puck are nice but available every year.

            If we start chasing stats, we’ll be toast.

            That makes sense

            My list would be
            1. Top 4 D
            2. Defensive depth
            3. Long term backup goalie
