Thread: Lets go get that cup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>Toffoli is yours. We get an early 2nd and Lucius would be our Top Center prospect. Could be a great 3C, a lock for a 4C</div></div>

Thread: How much for Toffoli

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>For sure, but I think the Devils will retain so they can get the best return possible. A 1st is going back to the Devils no matter what, but it’s that second piece (whether it’s a young controllable B6 player or B/C prospect) that will ultimately decide where Toffoli goes. At least half a dozen teams (the known ones are Vegas, Edmonton and LA Kings have checked in on him) will be bidding for Toffoli and he has zero trade protection.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Protected 1st + Aidan McDonough

…or…

Young player that kills a hole (Defensive LHD, Bottom-six center with size, goalie)

If we sell, it’s probably with aim to plug holes…or acquire picks/assets we can use to plug holes.</div></div>

I think VAN would be fine adding a prospect like McDonough to put the deal over the top.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>Any reason why Elias Lindholm isn’t back? You guys paid a lot to acquire him and he has connections to Rutherford.</div></div>

Purely cap reasons. If they can bring him back at a reasonable rate I'd be fine with it, but I don't want the team spending huge money on him.

If someone wants to pay him Horvat money he's gone pretty much. I do think something around Kadri he could be re-signed. But not if we are bringing Toffoli in other issue is we keep making our defense worse which doesn't make sense. Unless the front office is happy with Wolanin or Hirose (eventhough I do think D-Petey will convert to NA game pretty fast still will need sometime to get used to it). Plus I don't think they want Podkolzin on the 4th line as that was what caused his confidence issue to begin with.

As much as I would love a bidding war…there are a lot of wingers available. If we got a 1st alone, or decent young player and mid-pick, I’d be happy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>Toffoli (50% retained) = 2025 1st + Pick One from This Group of Players (Pods, Raty, D-Petey)

If Hoglander is up, I really like him, but it wouldn’t make sense to make him available. Lekkermaki and Willander are off the board no matter what.</div></div>

If the deal can be done without retention straight up for the 2025 1st that would be preferable for VAN, assuming they can LTIR Myers until the playoffs.

I think Blackwell is another likely candidate to get dealt. Probably for a 5th.

Thread: 23 24 Oilers TDL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>Devils accept. Even if Graeme Clarke was thrown in and Bourgault is taken out of the trade, we still accept.

Feel like the best return for Toffoli (50% retained) is 1st, Broberg, and Ceci as the cap dump.</div></div>

Bonus for me, thanks

Thread: Perry plus moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>It’s tough to make a competitive offer as Edmonton because they have the worst prospect barn in the league and the young talent isn’t inspiring. Blackhawks are going to target Holloway (C/LW) and Akey (RD) as they have the most promise. Also, in general, most teams don’t use two retention slots in one trade so it needs to be a slam dunk return for Chicago in order to justify that.</div></div>

Fair enough

Thread: What if the Devils were Sellers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>Yep and I expect Fitz to flip any acquired first for an NHL player (preferably goalie). It just gives you so many more options and leverage in trades. Also, it doesn’t hurt to just keep the pick since Fitzy is a good drafter and keeps the pool filled</div></div>

If fitz has a guy he likes. Take him, if not use the pick to go for a position of need. Either defense or goalie

Thread: What if the Devils were Sellers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I think we can get a good return for Toffoli at $2m…I just think Fitzy would more likely plug a hole if he could. Maybe solid heavy bottom-sixer…but undervalued dman…whatever. I do t think a late 1st is as likely to help us in 2024-25.</div></div>

Depends on who the team is. If they don’t have a player like that on the roster I’m not gonna take a worse return to look for something specific

I’m not saying pick someone with the 1st.

Look at what Washington did with turning Orlov into a 1st into Sandin

Or Vancouver turning Horvat into a 1st into hronek

Picks are very liquid

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Toffoli - 2nd and older prospect
Miller - mid to late pick
Nosek - late pick if healthy
Smith - I think he stays
Tierney - Maybe 7th or FC

I wouldn’t expect a huge year if we sell since we would want everyone around next year.</div></div>

I still firmly believe we can get a 1st or 1st equivalent for Toffoli. His underlying numbers are still fantastic and he’s still a very very good player. He just plays a bit slow for jersey

Thread: Changing the Lines

Not sure I see Holtz, McLeod, Bratt working out. Bratt should be top-6 with Hughes or Hischier.

I like Meier with McLeod. So my recommendation would be to simply switch Meier and Bratt here.

there will be injuries and he will get his chance. if he is good enough, they might dress him for the playoff too.

While the extra slide year is nice and all...its really about his development as a player. He is still a 19-year old kid, hasn't earned the right to make a stink about it. I think the veteran guys would be more peeved if Nemec stood up and demanded to be on roster. Gotta earn your stripes, kid.

Thread: Day 1 Of Waivers Ty Smith

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>I think he can succeed in a Calen Addison role where he quarterbacks a power play and plays sheltered third pair minutes. One team that should definitely put a claim is the Isles, they need power play help. Also, the ink has officially dried in red, Devils won the trade. Shutdown defenseman are very expensive (Ekholm, Chiarot come to mind recently) and that the Devils didn’t need to part with a 1st round pick is very tidy business.</div></div>

I agree with this. Dude can definitely play in the NHL.
