Thread: The fitzy move you never saw coming

I don't see any way that the Isles do this, particularly given the retention for the term of the contract, without a much higher quality package. If they would trade Sorokin at all...

I think you would at least have to add Hughes or Nemec, maybe more with the retention over 8 years.

Thread: My prodigal son returns

We loved him once. But he left.
He could have won here. But he left.
His #9 could hang from rafters. But he left.
He told us he would stay. But he left.
When he left, Kovy didn’t want to return, so he left.

Don’t think he can ever come back.

Thread: Flames from the ground up

Devils accept. Normally I'd say we don't need Hanifin but that's a stupidly low price

Retention is probably needed

Thread: Laf Deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Opie</b></div><div>Seems a bit too many dollars for Laf, he still has much to prove.

What about an offer sheet for 4.2 mil? Only cost Chicago a second if not matched & NY would be stretched with Lindgren, Shesterkin, Kakko & Schneider due for raises, in some cases Big raises, next season</div></div>

I would say it is automatic fired for GMs to give up on 1OA pick 21 years old and close to 0.5 per game top 9 role player for a second. He is basically forced to match it. Even if he needs to pay to get rid of Goddard he basically has to match it.

Thread: Return Of Tatar

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Palat signing was the mistake they will regret. Needless expensive aging vet.</div></div>

All we heard last year was we'd have no playoff experience. He was big in the Rangers series. I didn't love it to start, but he may be what they need in the locker room. The cap is good enough we buy him out in two years, no problem.

Since when does Turcotte need a change of scenery? He just needs to stay healthy.

Thread: if were out at the TDL

Devils aren't interested in paying a 2nd for a guy who will play 3rd pair minutes and won't fit under the cap

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 20, 2023 at 6:55 a.m.

Thread: Opening Night

Holtz should be on this 23 man roster ahead of Tierney, probably somewhere on the 3rd line.
I think Holtz will be more than ready to contribute in the Devils top 9 for next season.

Thread: Gibson to NJ rumors seem unlikely

Vanecek is the better, cheaper, and younger player. Gibson is a liability.

Thread: Tatar maybe

Hughes will play #2LGD with Marino on the right, they played well together at the end of the season.
Bahl will be bottom LHD along side of Miller/Nemec
Smith will be the utility defender/wing

Yeah Mercer is kot going anywhere

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 4, 2023 at 6:30 a.m.

Thread: Devils

Trading Mercer for Hellebuyck is a genuinely terrible idea.
Also, there are probably gonna be better offers for Konecny out there than what you've suggested.

Sounds like he is officially moving on. I would have been fine having him back too.

Thread: Lines n stuff

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MartysBetter29</b></div><div>We have a spot for one more player. Would like a cheap depth forward to challenge Holtz/Foote. But this looks about right. Good team on paper for sure.</div></div>

That top 6 is tremendously scary. I See Holtz getting consistent minutes in the middle 6, and Foote finally cracking the lineup. You'd still have Lazar to fill in if things don't work out, and you can add at the deadline.

Miller also ensures that Nemec stays in the AHL for another year, but it was a great add for a 5th.

Probably brought in Miller to start as the sixth Dman at the beginning of the season. But otherwise it’s spot on.

Thread: Wild Offseason scenerio

Can't see the Devils trading McLeod. They need him at 4C more than they need an extra winger.

Orlov will cost more than that methinks.

Thread: gotta keep damon

May need a vet D man next year but Bahl has settled in nice. With Luke being a left shot RD and Nemec being a strict RD is LD where they look? Is Graves brought back? Before Bahl started paying well (I wanted him moved in the Timo trade, but have come around on him lately) I thought maybe a Carson Soucy. Late bloomer has the size Fitz likes 6'5 211! Good buds with Nate Bast, a UFA at 28 yrs making $2.75M playing 16 min per. Anyway Nemec Luke and Bahl as bottom 3 seems pretty green to me. D would potentially take a step back.

Thread: Dynasty

Sign Sharangovich to 1-year close to his QO ($2.05m). 2-years brings him straight to UFA.

Also, give Wood a 1-year, prove-it deal. He hasn’t had his legs this year and if it’s just conditioning since he took last year off, that should be enough time to get back to full. If it’s long-term effect of injury or aging, than we wouldn’t be stuck with big contract for the extra 3-years.

Forum: Armchair-GMMar. 5, 2023 at 8:13 a.m.

Thread: Dynasty

I wouldn't bring Wood back at that price for his role. That'll be Lazar's spot next year for $2m cheaper.

Thread: NJ Devils Offseason after Timo trade

No chance Severson signs that contract, wish he would though.
Think he'll get at least 5.5m with a helluva lot more term than you suggested.

I like the idea of bringing Tatar back on that contract, he's been massive for the Devils this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Opie</b></div><div>You prefer Rico over Rango? Short term push I get, but long term? Rico is definitely sizzling this season ... good bet he's going to breach his career high goal total.

Sharangovich has struggled this year, but Im not sure the coaches have helped him that much with all the lineup juggling & he's only 24. Idk, I still like the kid long term, super versatile.</div></div>

I like Sharangovich a lot.
Between him and Rico at 50% for two playoffs runs, I could go either way honestly.
For the purposes of this AGM I just wanted to add another trade to the overall chaos :'D

Thread: Deadline

Quinn-to-NJ is a trade that neither NJD fans nor VAN fans want any part of.

As for Bertuzzi, switch Holtz to Johnsson.

Thread: Severson On Trade Block

I don’t want to trade him because Severson on your 3rd d pair is solid depth. I’m just saying what Chris Johnston said earlier.
