Description
One thing with the Devils I have no clue about is Berniers health. I assumed he would be healthy for 2022-23 for this but obviously if he isn’t that changes a lot.

This isn’t 100% realistic. I’m not sure if they want to run back (mostly) the same D, there’s guys like Bahl that could maybe break it but not sure. Don’t see Letang being a fit so they would need to explore trades. I do think they’re a dark horse for Gaudreau. Interested to see what they do with Wood, don’t read into my signing as gospel. I’m just assuming they’ll keep him and he won’t get a huge raise

Giving up too much for Kubalik. Zacha for Kubalik should be fine. If Colton White is on the team, god help us. Lines are all out of whack and that goaltending isn’t good enough

I posted this on my Ottawa GM and forgot to here but thank you for the White comments, as a fan of another team it’s hard for me to know who of younger players is seen as good/having a shot. Would you rather see Bahl or a FA there? As for lines, same thing, I don’t claim to know what line comps should be except my favorite team, so again thanks for clarifying. One thing I definitely noticed is Sharangovich should probably move up.

As for Zacha for Kubalik straight up, I’ll take your word for it but curious what CHI fans think.

Possibly true, I could see him taking a little less for proximity to home since the Flyers are a mess which I guess is his first choice.

You overvalue location. He has no connection to the Devils so they will have to pay market price

If Anaheim is considered "Any team", sure...can't see the Ducks giving up any picks for rentals though.

I dont think that true…taking a couple mil less to be an hour or two from family and a short drive down the parkway to his beach house isn’t a bad deal..

he is from NJ............ he could easily live within easy travel to his hometown and the stadium. but he is never going to take less then 10mil.

That makes no sense, every player lives within easy travel distance of their stadium. If you consider Newark and Salem to be close travel distance you are trolling. Thats like saying someone from Chelsea should play for Montreal instead of Ottawa (exact same distance).

Thanks for doing a Devils AGM!
It's not all bad, have definitely seen worse.

Some thoughts tho:
I don't mind trading Tatar, Devils have too many middle six wingers at the moment and I'd want him to be the first to go.

Kubalik trade isn't something the Devils would do as it's very much like for like.
Zacha would be sooner used to grab a goalie to compete with Blackwood.
Zacha for Vanecek has gotten a lot of traction here on CapFriendly and as a Devils fan I'd be very happy if that's something that went down irl.
Also, don't think we can trust in Bernier being ready to go by October, if at all.

JG is a fun signing but he might need more money than that.
His contract will also be an issue when Holtz, Luke Hughes, Smith and Mercer are through their ELCs so there will be significant cap casualties in the future with this signing.
I'd prefer Devils going for someone like Marchment, Nichushkin or Copp in FA if they are looking for help at wing.

Bratt should get about 1m more.
White is fine as call up from the minors but putting him on the 3rd pair is just asking for trouble.
One of Okhotiuk, Bahl or Walsh should get a full time job in the NHL by next season meaning White can comfortably be sent down.

Lines are quite a bit off, I'd do them like this using your players:

Sharangovich - Hughes - Gaudreau
Mercer - Hischier - Bratt
Johnsson - Boqvist - Kubalik
Wood - McLeod - Bastian

Graves - Hamilton
Siegenthaler - Severson
Smith - Walsh

Blackwood
Daws

// Holtz, Kuokkanen, White
Bernier LTIR

distance is not equivalent to travel time. you just tried to compare traveling in nj to traveling the same distance but 450 miles north in canada............... i can drive to Salem every day of the year in 2 hours, every day of the year. and if he moved inbetween it would be a much shorter distance.

Wtf? Its literally a 2 and a half hour drive for both places I chose, your counterargument makes zero sense
