Initial Creation Date: Dec. 1, 2023
Published: Dec. 1, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Why are you starting schmid the night after he had to make 45 saves.

If you don't want to burn an ELC year on Nemec trade for a 3RD as well.

All 4 of these lines should be able to roll once we get healthy. As of right now we don't have a 4th line that exists.

roll 3 goalies.

Ideally Hamilton back for playoffs but who knows

Buddy think Travis Green is any better. He also think Lindy told the Dmen to be clueless and terrible.

Hanifin is solid defensively, and an excellent PK guy. The problem is BAHL.

Luke-Miller is great

Siegs-Marino is quality

Hanifin is better everywhere than Bahl.
Also we just lost a lot of offense on the backend with hamilton hurt.

I’d bet Kevin Dineen would be the in-house replacement over Green

we allowed 16 shots. Lindy was the one who still thinks it's 1980 and sent Schmid out again after he made 45 saves last night

Watching this team tonight is just a collection of individual skilled players. They don’t play for each other or help each other out. The sharks had multiple 2v1s which you cannot blame on the goalie

The GM went full blown offense only and didn’t fix defense or goaltending

Shots 48-18
Shot attempts 79-28
Scoring chances 40-15

9 times out of 10 that game is a blowout.

I have no blame for Schmid. He shouldn't have been playing tonight after he made 45 saves yesterday in game 1 of the back to back.

Our goaltending was good last year and wasn't an issue (the only true guys out there viewed as upgrades at the time would have been going all in on Hellebuyuck or Saros, and saros has also been horrific this year), it hasn't been this year.

Gravy and Severson were expiring and cost 11 mill combined. I would have liked to bring one of them back for a year or two (gravy woulda been nice for the PK and hard matchups), but last year Bahl was looking ready to take over the role, and Luke has been fantastic and was getting into the lineup.

Overall the goalies have played significantly worse than last year

Bahl hasn't been able to take over the Gravy role at all.

And Siegs-hamilton is a step back from what it was last year

"the sharks had multiple 2 on 1s". Yeah and the devils had equally as many if not more 3 on 1s.

Not if 5 of those goals are high danger chances. And I’m not talking about what the stupid analytics classify as a high danger chance. I saw a few 2v1s and no help for Schmid

Also, Carolina did this exactly same thing last night with the islanders lol. You can limit a team to 15 shots, but if they’re high quality and you have bad goalies, they’re going in

Did the team really need to keep and pay Meier $8m+? He hasn’t been impressive at all since the devils got him. That $8m could be widely spent else where

The devils had significantly more high danger chances. they hit multiple cross bars, posts on open nets, and had a goal overturned by a phantom whistle.

The first one was a lapse, but schmid was very slow getting over.
Same with the 3rd
the second one was a light shot from the point that he just missed.
the 4th one he got undressed on.
the last one schmid tapped it out away from Luke right to the trailing shark.

I know all about phantom whistle because the rangers have been screwed over multiple times this year

I mean do you think VV would have been better tonight? I don’t think he saves any of those 5 goals

Meier was what the team needed.

Spending that money and assets on hellebuyuck until he's 40 wouldn't have gone any better.

We're set down the middle.

Long term we're set at D with Hamilton,Marino,Nemec,Hughes,Siegs.

As someone who made a ton of ACGMs for NJD pre meier trade, there simply weren't many other ways to spend the money besides bringing back severson until he's 37

There is no doubt Devils need to clean up defensively. But they scored 2 goals on odd-man rushes (one wasn’t really a rush). Devils hit 4 posts/crossbars, had a goal called back that should have been a goal…and otherwise dominated run of play.

But yeah, let’s go back to how Devils would have been better with Kakko instead of Hughes.

I think Vitek makes a save on at least 2 of those. (and I think a rested Schmid stops at least 3 of em)bRegardless there's no reason to send schmid out there on a back to back just logically.

the worst team in hockey, on a back to back. That's exactly the time to send out Vitek.
