Devils next year with Forsberg

Team: 2022-23 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 6, 2021

Published: Dec. 6, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

All the devils need to take that next step is a real top line winger to play with Hughes. Forsberg can provide that.
Nico already has Bratt and Zacha. That line will be good for many years to come. But with them all on the same line it leaves Hughes with a bunch of middle 6 guys who can't really keep up with him. If he can get a guy like Forsberg to play with and Holtz becomes what we think he will be next year he will have his 2 wingers. This can make one of the scariest top 6s in the league next year, and they will still have Johnsson and Merer on the 3rd line. This offense is building up to become one of the best in the NHL if they can get that star winger for Hughes.

The idea behind it is if he decded he wants to walk or NSH doesn't want to pay him what he wants, they can get a lot of value for him. NJ works because they will pay a hefty price for a top winger. If you wanted to make it a 3 team deal and trade severson right away for more picks or a forward, that works.

I rather try to sign Forsberg as a UFA than trade for him at the deadline
The cost would be too much for the Devils to pay

I dont think they are paying too much here. This gaurantees they get him for long term rather than risking him going to another team as a UFA, and they also dont need to give him as much money if they have his rights since there is no competition. Severson really does not provide much to NJ, maybe a change of scenery can help him, and the same goes for Kuokkanen since he has really fallen off since last year. Then a top 10 protected 2023 pick, where they should definently be in the playoffs if they have Forseberg. But if they arent, the protection is there.

I think the devils are in desperate need of top winger. If they have to pay extra to make sure they can lock one up, I think they would.

I think there is a better deal out there for NSH than this

Huh?
Send Subban or Graves before sending Severson.

Severson is our 2nd best d-man overall. And Nashville is loaded at RD.
Value-wise, 2 years of Severson alone should return 1-year of Forsberg.

The pick is the only thing NSH would want in this proposal, but a 2022 1st. Not getting the pick for 2-3 years is less than ideal. Preds decline.

Idk man.... you REALLY overvalue Severson. I know he has really good advanced analytics but I prefer to analyze with my eyes and what I see is way too many giveaways and poor plays, especially in the d-zone. Also, Graves is our 2nd best defenseman, not Damon... and thats not even close

Also its not 1 year of Forsberg, we sign that extension as part of the trade (7x8)
