Danny Webster, who broke the Dean for Barbashev first, said it's possible JVR ends up in Vegas. We'll see.


I feel Barbashev to VGK changes that

Carolina likes sneaky cheap good deals and JVR fits that description

Road to success for the Sens (hot take edition)

1) Hire coach Q / Brunette
2) Trade Batherson and Thomson for Rasmus Andersson
3) Trade futures for Saros/Demko
4) Sign a UFA Forward (Nino comparable , maybe Tatar/JVR)

How the **** do you let Fitz put such intense stipulations on a pick for your most valuable asset.

"When you can add a player like Timo Meier who is growing and getting stronger everyday, it puts a smile on my face.”

- #NJDevils GM Tom Fitzgerald per Nichols

Yeah, translation, here's the ACTUAL meaning of his words:

"I can't believe that trade pended for 4 hours and Grier still let it go through, puts a smile on my ****in face."

I hate this trade.
I absolutely hate it
There is no need to make it now.
This Devils core haven't made the playoffs ONCE and they're spending futures like Bolts chasing a dynasty and not like a team that HAS WON ONE PLAYOFF GAME SINCE 2012 COME ON MAN.
THERE IS NO NEED TO TAKE SUCH A MASSIVE RISK RIGHT NOW
Is Fitzy so frickin scared to lose to the Rags in the 1st rd just get baited into a terrible value deal like that.
In 3-4 years when Meier hits 30, tailing off and not providing value on his contract any longer the Devils are gonna massively regret this move.

It's so shortsighted

I know you love Zettertank but this is a Fitz masterclass

Nothing short sighted about this trade

And everyone is replaceable


To elaborate

Meier is a much better and developed version of Zetterlund
Mukahmudullin is stuck behind Hughes, Nemec, Casey
Johnsson is a dump
Okhotiuk = Santeri
The picks are well protected
We didn't need to give up L. Hughes, Mercer, Nemec, Holtz, Casey, or Sharangovich

They gonna end up putting a max word count on conditions:

“San Jose Receives Conditional 2024 Second-Round Pick: Should New Jersey reach the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals (and Meier plays in at least 50% of Meier's Club's Playoff games in 2023) or the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals, New Jersey will transfer its own first-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft to San Jose (top 10 protected), instead of its own second-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft. If New Jersey's first-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft is a top 10 selection, New Jersey will have the option to instead transfer its own first-round pick in 2025 NHL Draft to San Jose. Should New Jersey transfer its first-round pick in 2024 NHL Draft per the original condition (top-two above in Condition A), New Jersey will instead transfer its own first-round pick in 2025 NHL Draft should they reach the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals.”

I gotta say that if Meier puts an end to all the Josh Anderson to the Devils AGMs the trade will have been worth all that return.

Alex Holtz + 2nd for Josh Anderson is still a possibility

No you keep him in the AHL till his deal expires to help your AHL club.

When your GM sees value in Andreas there’s a problem.

1. Q is never getting and job again and Brunette is an incompetent coach go with Bruce
2. I’m sorry why are you doing this trade?
3. Saros is easily the better option, I’ve been saying this for months, Demko is overrated and had one good year plus one good playoff run
4. Yeah add one more guy to the mix
