<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Korax</b></div><div>Too much additions to the core. You will change your core too much and create inbalance VS what made you go into playoff in the first place (kinda like what happened last year with Kane and Tarasenko)</div></div>

Adding 2 depth pieces vs adding 2 guys that were power play guys… very different. This is more comparable to adding Copp and Vatrano. Kane was extremely injured and was a powerplay guy. Senko was decent too but what kill them in the playoffs was actually the coach changing the powerplay completely. Then somehow managed to be goalied by a hot streak from the kid. NJ was by far the faster team but we dominated in every other way except for their G stood on his head. Don’t think he has even played a game as good as he did in playoffs since

Thread: You Gotta Replace Drysdale in the Pipeline Right
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Maybe a protected 1st instead of the 2nd, I don't think it's too rediculous, especially with Verbeek</div></div>

I'm not sure what you're implying here. Is it that the players are right up Verbeek's alley? Or that they're just that good? Cause depending on what you mean, I could point you to which reason I think you're wrong.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>batman</b></div><div>you finna get hate on this one mate. ducks fans finna go crazy on you. its fair tho. wouldn't give much more than that. not very thrilled to lose mailloux but would do it.</div></div>

To be perfectly fair, before even getting to the players involved a lot of Ducks fans are gonna have a problem with the why of all this.

I find it odd that so many people's first conclusion is that this must mean Zegras has to go too. The reason the Ducks made the trade was because the group of young forwards the team had in house was lacking. You trade Drysdale because you believe the back end depth can absorb it. If you trade away Zegras you've defeated the purpose of the whole thing, especially if the big piece coming back is a puck moving offensive defenseman.

Thread: D and G
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>I think NJ does not commit to Markstrom. Hanifin imo is a smart add as a long term piece.
When everyone is healthy it's a pretty good team add a ufa or 1 yr left G and we're good. Small adds tdl for playoff push</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>If that came with extension for Hanifin around $6m to $6.5m...I'd wouldn't complain.

I doubt we make such a move in season though.</div></div>

Devils cant make Hanafin work Longterm for Money reasons with Mercer getting an extension this year, luke and Holtz the year after, and Nemec in for a monster raise the next. Let alone McLeod getting the contract he deserves if he keeps it up. The cap is going to rise 3-4 mil a year for 3 years and then rise around 1-2 every year after. I'm more than happy to let it ride with Nemec this year since hes been great but there is no world where Hanafin fits under the cap for the next 6-8 years
