Thread: Keep Severson- Re evaluate 2024 Year 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MartysBetter29</b></div><div>Good for him honestly. Now that he’s officially gone, it will be interesting to see the Devils plan. Do they get a vet to play for this year? Do they trust Nemec enough to have him and Hughes both in the lineup? We will see.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I don't know how you can keep Nemec in the AHL. Hamilton, Marino, and Nemec....that looks amazingly strong not the right side.</div></div>
In my mind the best idea is to just keep Nemec in the A as to slide his ELC for one more year.
Huge difference to pay Nemec 900k instead of 8-9m in the 26-27 when the Devils are right in the middle of their window of contention.

I'd go with Walsh as 3RHD for 23-24. He'll be 24 in October and has been fantastic in the Utica for a good while now. Walsh has earned the right to try and hold a spot in the NHL lineup down.

Thread: Different route
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MartysBetter29</b></div><div>That’s certainly fair. I think his true value is a 3rd. I just saw all those 2nds and was like, huh, why not? Haha. Which as dumb as it sounds seems to sometimes be the way NHL GMs operate. Doubt Detroit makes all of those first and second round picks.</div></div>

Nothing wrong with trying to squeeze a little extra value out.
I am not sure what we do. We either move up or select all those players. We have some good prospects but we don't have any great ones other than our main couple. I think the idea will be to try and find another Hintz or Robertson with those second rounders. Quite a few of these mid round picks have been looking pretty good for us but you can never have too much of a good thing.
