Team: 2021-22 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 18, 2021

Published: Aug. 18, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Adding one of Foote, Holtz, Mercer, or even Boqvist to the top 6 gives the Devils a lot more balance and depth. Reason for Greer, Studenic, and Jaros as scratches is bc we want the prospects to actually play in Utica, not just sit out games and practice

Buyouts

Cory Schneider: $2,000,000

Retained Salary Transactions

Will Butcher: $910,569 (24.39%)

Recapture Fees

Ilya Kovalchuk: $250,000

Would rather see Zacha on Nico's wing than at 3c.
But like the idea.

A couple of Qs:
Give Kuokkanen a shot at 3C?
More time for Holtz in Utica (at least to start)?
Foote as a bottom-six regular this year?

If we move Zacha to 2LW, then it would have to be

Zacha- Hischier- Holtz

Kuokkanen- Boqvist- Bratt

Think dropping Zacha or Bratt to line 3 makes three lines dangerous rather than 2

That probably makes more sense as I feel like Bratt does equally well wherever he is.
Whereas Zacha is night-and-day with or without Nico (18 pts in 17 gp on Hischier's wing this year).
Also, I like Boqvist off-the-puck more...and playing on Bratt's line would help that.

Zacha is ineffective at center and Boqvist is ineffective at wing. Switch them.

So then lines would be

Zacha- Hischier- Holtz

Kuokkanen- Boqvist- Bratt
