Team: 2023-24 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 8, 2023

Published: Dec. 8, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

In real world, the guys who are probably in the mix for NJD: Hanifin, Tanev, Carrier, Schultz, Middleton…usual suspects.

But welcome to Earth-2, where you can pick anyone.

Who would you go after?

(This assumes Dougie returns for game 1 of playoffs…)

Just examples below.

Trades

NJD

Hedman, Victor

TBL

2024 1st round pick (NJD)
2025 1st round pick (NJD)

Additional Details:

Price doesn’t matter here because Hedman is not likely to be traded. Right now TBL has 29% chance of playoffs while NJD is only at 45%. So even in slim chance he were a trade candidate, probably not to NJ. Would be nice though.

NJD

TBL

Playoff Blueline

Hedman - Hamilton
Hughes - Marino
Siegs - Nemec
Bahl - Miller

NJD

Orlov, Dmitry

CAR

This was one back-up unrealistic deal…not only because of Division rivalry, but what are we going to sell them? A goalie?

NJD

CAR

Playoff Blueline

Siegs - Hamilton
Hughes - Marino
Orlov - Nemec
Bahl - Miller

NJD

Chabot, Thomas

OTT

Another, although five years would be too long as both Luke and Nemec would be on big deals by then. And he is hurt.

NJD

OTT

Playoff Blueline

Siegs - Hamilton
Hughes - Marino
Chabot - Nemec
Bahl - Mille

NJD

Fowler, Cam

ANA

Term is good…unclear about availability. I assume he would tough to pry away…but Ducks are loaded with young dmen.

NJD

ANA

Playoff Blueline

Fowler - Hamilton
Hughes - Marino
Siegs - Nemec
Bahl - Mille

Buyouts

Cory Schneider: $2,000,000

And people said that the Gudas signing was the worst contract handed to a defenseman this off-season. Jesus that Orlov signing is looking ROUGH.

Orlov deal isn’t rough. Gudas was the worst defender contract handed out

I would agree with that…assuming Vasi is healthy. Atlantic division is hard one to judge right now. A lot of weaknesses with teams currently in.

(But this is Earth-2….and Tampa is shopping Hedman for picks here)

My comment was more about the a$$ clowns who say TB has. a29% chance 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
