A better team with a better devolopment system

Created by: knuxles
Team: 2021-22 New Jersey Devils
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 26, 2021
Published: Jul. 26, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Surround your top U22 players with Veterans and prime players. Sign 22-32-year-old UFA forwards that are unlikely to resign with their current club to short-term deals. This gives your countless prospects time to develop for a 2-3 years in the AHL. By the time they come to the NHL, they will be perfect role players to replace the UFAs you sign now after their contracts expires.

But it's all short-term, this way you can hopefully make the playoffs and give your top young players (Hughes, Hischier, Sharangovich, Smith) more experience.

We're trying to become a perennial competitive team - signing short term deals with players just for the core to have playoff experience is a bad idea.

I agree with the philosophy just not the execution. I think one or two forwards should be the maximum NJ adds for veteran presence. If they are really in a position to compete they can add expiring deals at the deadline. Young forwards need to be able to play in order to grow and as much as some vet insulation can help- the way this roster is constructed looks like it is actually pushing capable young players down. I'd be interested in adding a scoring veteran forward to play with Jack and a strong defensive center to play on the third line and let homegrown players compete for the rest of the forward spots.

Where I really do agree about the importance of vets is on D. Whenever I think about fututre pairs or make Armchair GM teams I try to make sure young guys are paired with vets who can help protect them. Assuming our top four could look something like Graves-Hamilton (I pray) and Smith-Severson, I'd be interested in finding a strong bottom pair RHD to play alongside Bahl or L.Hughes and help protect them as they get into the league.
