Predictions for today

Created by: NHLfan10506

Team: 2023-24 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 1, 2023

Published: Jul. 1, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

What I expect today:

1. McLeod, Bastian return…Boqvist does not. Both could be on 1-year deals, however.

—Actual—
Bastian: $1.35m x 2
McLeod: $1.4m x 1

2. Third pair veteran dman added. I thought maybe Holl, but he appears headed for Vancouver. Used Foote here are placeholder.

—Actual—
Colin Miller (trade)

3. Swing goalie added. An early guess was Stolarz, due to Jersey ties, but he is bound for Florida. Using Dell as placeholder here.

4. Also predict there will be some rumor that we are finalists for one of the top names (“Devils in on ___”) but we don’t sign him. Especially if other options are Metro teams. Fitzy loves the price game to make acquisitions more costly for his competition.

5. We sign at least one veteran on very low, discounted AAV, probably 1-year deal. Players see NJ as place they can win.

(Otherwise…..zzzzzzz)

Add Lazar at $1.1, leaves just under $3 mil in cap space. I'm leaning more towards trying to find the right 1-2 year deal (at $2-3 mil max) stop gap defenseman over spending the remaining cap on a goalie or forward.

There's too many young forwards ready to get their NHL shot. I'm OK with trading for Helly just don't want to sign him to a huge contract. But most importantly, if they go with Nemec at 3rd RD, that means one of Hamilton, Hughes, or Nemec plays significant PK minutes, unless the role 7 Def consistently.
