          I was going to say NYI 2nd, but we don't have that anymore

          Maybe Butcher (50%) + 4th round pick? Not sure what the Canes would want

          Not sure the Devils would be interested in Zadorov after the Graves trade. They have similar playing styles

          If it’s a pick probably a mid round 2. If they’re looking for players back not sure. Admittedly don’t know a ton about Butcher and didnt watch much Devils last year. What’s his outlook?

          I'm counting down the hours for when I switch from "ffs trade Dunn already" to "protect Dunn and expose Krug ffs". I've already moved well past "keep Dunn" because it looks like that ship has sailed.

          People named "Vince Dunn" belong in NJ ✔

          That's my input

          Noone else here has half his "upside"

          I'm not sure I want Big Z, but I think that playing style is what they are still looking for, even after yesterday. Based on Fitzgerald's comments, seems like he is committed to having pairs with one offensive minded blueliner paired with a bigger, defensive minded, player. If you believe that, I would assume Smith, Sever & PK are your offensive guys and Graves & Siegenthaler are your defensive minded guys. Unless you want to take a chance on Bahl, Okhotyuk or one of the other youngsters filling that role, I think someone similar to Graves is what Fitz might be looking for. Guess we will see soon.

          Offensive defensemen that could be in the top 4 if Hamilton leaves. Would QB the PP. Isn't good defensively

          I suppose they could use him but if they lose Skjei and are left with Bean I’m not sure the fit is right. Need RD more than LD and have similar concerns with Bean and Gardiner as it seems I would have with Butcher. Interesting concept tho, especially at retained salary

          Fabbro, Dunn, and Pettersson are my 1,2,3 too

          Fabbro may cost less though

          I'm not sure I want Big Z, but I think that playing style is what they are still looking for, even after yesterday. Based on Fitzgerald's comments, seems like he is committed to having pairs with one offensive minded blueliner paired with a bigger, defensive minded, player. If you believe that, I would assume Smith, Sever & PK are your offensive guys and Graves & Siegenthaler are your defensive minded guys. Unless you want to take a chance on Bahl, Okhotyuk or one of the other youngsters filling that role, I think someone similar to Graves is what Fitz might be looking for. Guess we will see soon.


          This is what I have right now
          Smith-Severson
          Graves-Subban
          Bahl/Siegenthaler-???

          Fitz said Graves would be a good pair next to Severson or Subban

          Yes Sir ... I read into his comments that they would split Smith & Sever this season. Could it be

          Graves - Sever
          Smith - ??? Bahl / Aquisition???
          Siegenthaler- PK

          Maybe? Idk ... Smith / Bahl has history on Canada I believe

          Smith and Bahl could be a great pairing. Not sure if Bahl is ready for top 4 minutes yet

          I would do this
          Smith-Larsson
          Graves-Severson
          Bahl-Subban
          Siegnthaler
