Wishful thinking with the McLeod and Bastian deals imo

Meier probably gets $9-10m
Dumba probably gets $5-5.5m
You guys don't have enough cap space to sign both

No shot Meier gets $10M

I was saying in the 9-10m range... Which would put you over the cap

He gets closer to 8M

I don't think this team makes the playoffs

Simon Nemec is better than Matt Dumba today right now

Nemec can slide another year

Not after a 40-goal season... Sebastian Aho who scored less than him is probably going to get $9.5m AAV this offseason

They had 112 points last season and got better... lmfao clown take.

They’re worse on D as of now

They’re better at F and G

Too early to tell at G

Wait until teams have played against Schmid more

There are countless goalies who have great starts to their young careers and then end up showing that they’re not all that good. Devils just traded one away in Blackwood

Schmid>>>>Blackwood. That alone puts them much better at G.


from their core from most of last year they've replaced Zetterlund with Meier, Tatar with Toffoli, Graves with Hughes, Smith with Bahl, Yegor with Holtz, wood with Boqvist, and Severson with Nemec or a veteran, and Blackwood with Schmid

Meier>>>>Z
Toffoli>>>>Tatar
Hughes>Graves
Bahl>>>Smith
Schmid>>>Blackwood
Holtz could be better than yegor right away and will definitely be better than Wood, while Boqy and Yegor split time anyway.

The only real downgrade is losing severson. AND growth from young guys is coming
