Thread: Combination of a few AGMs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>That was two years ago with a different GM- who was fired largely because of decisions like that. Also, at the time, Smith had value beyond being an AHL/NHL tweener.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Missouri</b></div><div>Penguins would need a 1st + for Petey.</div></div>

I was half teasing on about the Marino-Smith deal.

I think NJ could look into a 2025 1st + Bahl for Petey with extension and potentially a pick coming back.
I probably would have looked a little closer at the D UFA market, but if Fitz swings and misses from July 1 - 10 then I could see bumping the offer up assuming goaltending was sorted.

They sent us a 2nd pair RD for an AHL player last year so this trade is a steal!

Thread: Combination of a few AGMs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Agreed! Tex you're the new GM!
I would think about moving Bastian for Mathieu Olivier in CBJ. Same type of player less pts so maybe Jackets do a straight swap. Couple bucks more on Nate.

The only other thing would need contract gymnastics- Hanifin as a UFA, would mean moving Siegenthaler though</div></div>

This took me 15 minutes - Come on Fitz! How hard can it be? :)
Good call on Olivier. He'd be a nice addition.
And agreed - I think a sneaky 'next-tier' move is to try and upgrade from either Siegs or Marino.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Should Mercer be at 3C or top 6 wing?</div></div>

In this scenario, I imagine that Palat, Mercer, and Duchene could all be interchanged until they find the right combination.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Avoid Duchene, use that cap for another good depth forward and a 23 man roster.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Those would be absolutely killer moves if we could pull them off. May need to add more to both trades but both fantastic targets. My only thing is I’d avoid duchene on a 3 year deal</div></div>

Duchene was my wild card, but has had a really nice year in Dallas. I agree with the risk.
I was focused on a goal scoring 2C who can also play on Jack's wing. Alternative suggestions?

By the time this trade is allowed, we will know exactly where this pick will be - and it will be too valuable for Ullmark.

Ditto dgibb - I'd love to see Buch in the top-6 but D and G need to be addressed before that "nice to have" addition.

Thread: Keeping Palat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Schneider was younger, and imo better. Saros has been average this year.

Schneider in the 3 years prior to his trade was 1st in GAA, 1st in save%, 2nd in GSAx</div></div>

Fair points - and I think we've messaged about this before on here.
Saros' age is definitely a factor for consideration, but the positive is that you've got a little more data (roughly 3X the number of games) than Scheids had at the time of the deal.

Thread: Goaltending solved

Why wouldn't we offer a similar Saros-type deal to Boston for Swayman?
In my mind, these two goalies are closer in value than Ullmark.

Thread: Keeping Palat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>What comps suggest paying that much?</div></div>

I was using Schneider as a basis since I didn't dig enough to find when another top-12 pick was traded for a goalie.
The prospect addition covers my personal belief that Saros is better than Schneider at the time of both of their respective trades.

Thread: Keeping Palat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>It is simultaneously too much going to nashville and too little of interest.</div></div>

Setting aside Nash’s desire to trade him, the comps suggest a lottery pick and either Holtz or Casey gets it done. If neither of those prospects fit a future need, what does?

Thread: (MTL/NJD) - Légaré for Durandeau

The league is investigating the NJ Devils for circumventing the trade deadline. Likely will lose a first round pick in one of the next three years.
No penalties against the Montreal Canadiens.

Counter with a 2nd plus a player (Bahl or prospect).

That's a 10 overall, a solid prospect, and serviceable 3rd pair D for a 35 year old goalie. That return is unprecedented.

Agreed on Swayman - even if the door is open just a crack. There are some similar comps between him and the Schneider trade from years ago; however, I doubt Boston is listening as early as the draft. Maybe I’m wrong

Thread: Bruins ideal roster imo for 24-25

This first round pick has a reasonable chance of landing in the top-10. One year of Ullmark isn’t worth that imo.

Thread: What Fitzy SHOULD do for NJ this Summer

Im not going to quote your very long explanation -
Stolarz / Allen isn’t a goaltending tandem that moves the needle. AS has started less than 80 games in his career at 30. This roster rolls out two backups.

Half the guys you mention in your response aren’t on your team. The only defensemen you put on the team that’s different from last year is Hakanpaa. I’d love to see Gudas in our starting six, but you didn’t put him in there.

Agreed with above - toughness doesn’t just mean hits, it means tough to play against due to a variety of things - positional awareness, puck control, getting out of the zone (first-pass), and hitting.
