<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DonCherrysOnlyGoodSuit</b></div><div>I agree that NJ fans want to get the most out of assets while their value is as high as it can get (Wood about 2 months ago and Palms), and a 2nd round pick is a bit of wishful thinking. As a fellow Devils fan I wonder what you would think of my hypothetical here: <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1690196">https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1690196</a>

Palms seems like a solid locker room/on ice guy. Trading him at the deadline for assets seems like a great idea while his value is high, but he is a leader for a young Devils team. Keeping him, and possibly resigning him, only benefits the progression of younger players.

I would hope the front office pays (or overpays) D men with certain D men capable of playing top 4 minutes to make up for PK’s turnover friendly game and/or bottom 4 pairing guys to let Smith and Butch develop their offensive side while sheltering their minutes.

Khudobin is a nice signing, but maybe a bit too much money for a back up if they really believe in Big Mac as a starter.

But I’m glad we both agree on NOT resigning Mueller.</div></div>

yeah man yours is good, I would love to see us get Holtz in the draft. not sure on Dell as the Sharks had some of the worst goaltending in the league last year. A little too much youth in your bottom 6, they would have some difficulties I would imagine. Holtz probably needs another year or 2 in the SHL before coming over as well. Our blue line is horrendous but I don't think one FA is fixing it unfortunately, signing bigger name FA's seems a bit aimless. My thinking on Khudobin is that he had real good numbers last year and Devils likely have to overpay on all free agents right now, not the most attractive franchise to play for currently. I think what you're hoping for in 20-21 is some good growth out of Nico + Hughes + Smith + Bratt, being a touch more competitive with a real backup and yes definitely no more Mueller hahaha.
