<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>I was actually thinking about Evans for the Devils the other day. Could see him complementing Lazar well on 4th line.

Defensively responsible, good on the PK, and can play 3rd or 4th line minutes (mostly 4th)

Oh for sure. The fact that I’m haggling over like a stillman or a 3rd on toffoli or a 4th coming back from Calgary shows that you’re pretty on the money

That's a tempting offer for Hanifin. It should be enough.

Thread: Aggressive TDL

All in the ballpark but for retention on toffoli add a 3rd.

Calgary seems unwilling to retain so drop Stillman and the retention there.

Then go get another depth forward like Trenin or Jake Evans using that 3rd

Thread: Save him from Ruff

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>It's an absolute sin that Ruff treats Holtz the way he does. Guy has been good for us this year, leads the team in 5v5 goals, improved his skating and defensive play like management asked him to. He's done everything right, but Ruff holds every little mistake over his head</div></div>

Watched him in the Devils vs Habs game last night, dude looked electric out there offensively. Could be a 30 goal guy if they played him in the top 6 but for whatever reason he plays next to Chris Tierney, Ruff isn't the reason for the Devils struggles (Injuries are) but he sure as hell won't be the coach that gets them to the cup

Thread: Matt Grzelcyk

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>This deal still saves the Bruins almost 2.8m; I think the Devils would be fine with no retention, but it'd likely be a 6th/7th going back to BOS as opposed to a 5th</div></div>

That could definitely work, it'll just depend on who (and how much $) is coming back to Boston in another deal. Anything after a 4th is a ____chute in terms of drafting anyway

Thread: Stop Changing The Forward Lines Lindy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>You guys just see the lines? I don’t even know what to say at this point. Hughes with Haula and Toffoli; absolutely hate that line because Haula and Toffoli are slow. Palat-Hischier-Bratt has been good, but Bratt belongs with Hughes. Timo with Mercer and Holtz even though Mercer stinks at center and that line has shown to be ATROCIOUS in the defensive zone. Oh and Brendan Smith is back in for Colin Miller so that’s fun</div></div>

Meanwhile Andrew Brunette has the horrific roster in Nashville doing quite well, even despite Saros not even playing well this year. Cant believe we let him go for Lindy

Thread: My Lines

I think a change to the PP could be in order to give it a kick.

With Holtz, Meier, and Palat as options to come in.

I think Meier or Holtz on PP1 instead of Toffoli.
He seems to be a tad stationary/slow, not great on entries, and a bit sloppy with the puck. Holtz has a laserbeam of a shot, and meier would be better in terms of maintaining possession down low and bullying in front of the net.

Nope, keep Nico Bratt Palat together, they are clicking. no reason to change the FWD lines when they are producing. Nicos line has been their best line since joining together. Money puck has them top 10

Hate trading Bahl away, Fitzy resigned for a reason, but i guess we wanna be small.</div></div>

No we value skill over a waste of 6'6 230!
The guy was going in the right directiocn in the playoffs last year..What happened? He's soft not aggressive, pinches way too much. Why we don't like it? He doesn't use it, ever! Fitz loves size on the backend, he's on record saying as much but it's gotta be useful. Can you honestly say he's using it? Honestly! If Bahl is in a pkg for Hanifin signed (if it's even possible with cap and signings to come), that has to be looked. He's a top 15-20 d in the league, Bahl never will be, let's be honest.

Yeah, would be some give and take...just spit-balling here...

Hanifin = 1st plus 3rd
Hanifin = Bahl plus 2nd
Hanifin (at 50%) = 1st plus 2nd
Hanifin (at 50%) = 1st plus Vilen
Hanifin (at 50%) plus 3rd = 1st plus Casey
Hanifin (at 50%) plus 5th = 2nd plus Casey

...I think all fit in range of possible returns for Hanifin.

Thread: Tanev and Zadorov Asking Price

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>If they did that, that'd be brutal. I think Hanifin, Tanev, and Zadorov should all be moved on the backend. Lindholm should also be moved and Backlund should have been moved before signing an extension</div></div>

Yes, welcome to our lives the last 20 years...

Calgary should have sold last year and did exactly what I just described. NJ certainly got the better deal in the Toffoli trade and Calgary could have got more on all their assets prior to d day. It was a deep draft too, so there was no excuse for that kind of short sightedness.

I agree on all the above players. Backlund is the Boone Jenner of Calgary though: Solid leader, defensively sound, consistent, and can play anywhere in the line up. It's not worth trading him even if you are rebuilding. They will likely do it for him to play on a contending team as he approaches UFA status again.

Thread: Tanev and Zadorov Asking Price

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boodin</b></div><div>I'm not saying hes a bad player. I just think hes probably the 5th-6th best forward ( hughes, bratt, heisher, toffoli) and hes making more than them who all took pay cuts and he took more than hes worth imo. I just think his contract is gunna cause you guys issues in a few years, but maybe not.</div></div>

I would have liked to see timo sub 8.5, but oh well, no way I'm moving him tho unless it's for a haul. You just aren't gonna find Timo replacement any cheaper. Palat however is someone I'd rather have a quality 3rd liner winger at like 2-3 mill instead of, like another Haula, or a Martinook/Fast type guy

He actually picked up RIGHT before his injury. He started slow last year too and ended up with 40 goals.
