Thread: NJ 2023-24
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LawJeffreyL</b></div><div>Graves likely getting a bit more on the open market, but potentially could choose to stay at that value.
McLeod likely getting more money than that on a 3 year deal,
Haula's contract very similar to Zacha's in Boston so basically going to have to add another 1.5M there.
Bratt and Meier both RFA's and Bratt's numbers are actually slightly better than Meier's, just curious where the extra $1.25M for Meier is warranted?
And what do we expect from Holtz next season? This doesn't really leave much wiggle-room for an underperforming, low intensity performance from the kid, and doesn't offer a way to get him out of the lineup when he underwhelms, as there isn't a scratched forward signed.</div></div>

Holtz is on the 3rd line here, it's not like they're asking the sun and the moon for him. If he struggles again, he can easily be replaced by guys like Clarke, Foote and Thompson.

Thread: Lebrun says Timo trade Front narrowed down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sjbackseatgm</b></div><div>A very reasonable response, and I commend you for your patience. Devils fans are having discussions on whether or not Holtz is a bust and the statistics on non top 4OA first rounders that don't become impact NHLers. As well as AHL stars vs. NHL impact players. Time will tell, but Holtz has skating/processing issues and that's very worrisome.

While simultaneously, many are running what appears to be an online campaign inflating Holtz's value (while deflating Timo's). I'm over it, I'll take him as a B prospect in a package but I would prefer Muk. The devils have 2 elite prospects (Nemec and Hughes) and plethora of good/B prospects, but I don't see any better than Morrow that aren't those 2. To your point, he also just so happens to fill a big need for the Sharks. So yea, if NJD doesn't offer Nemec or Mercer the Canes will win Timo's services with a package like this imo.</div></div>

I mean, you're also backing up a guy that said Morrow &gt; Nemec.

There's having a different opinion on prospects, and then there's just baiting people like he does. I stay out of stuff like this, but him baiting Devils fans then complaining when they hit back is just stupid.
