<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zyyyp</b></div><div>hahah, appreciate the feedback my man. I feel like we're not in a position to add multiple big name FA's, still rebuilding and have a fair ways to go!
a weaker blue line helping us get another relatively high pick wouldn't be the worst thing for us. as for the Wood trade, I feel like he's overvalued by teams because of his physicality and his bite, can have a scoring touch at times and has 2 years left so felt like a late 2nd would be okay but you're right it's wishful thinking. mainly just wanted to get a 2020 2nd back and we don't have a whole lot to sell off. I wanted Palmieri gone at the last deadline! going to get far less value for him next season.</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.
