Thread: How does this team do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>Overall I like it, but I have some minor criticisms:

- Wood is too risky to give more than a fourth line assignment
- We have no proven starter in net
- Instead of that suboptimal Arizona trade, give Wood the fourth line spot and sign Lyubushkin or Subban to play 3RD. Get a draft pick for Johnsson and the third line can be Yegor Boqvist Mercer</div></div>

I just figured we have the FWD depth so Foote for Timmins (getting bigger on the back end) would make sense. Better opportunity in AZ for Foote. And Johnsson for Ritchie (again, getting bigger) would make sense as well for NJ. Unsure about for AZ though

Thread: Forsberg Not Johnny

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Forsberg certainly seems more like the type of player Fitzy wants
Not sure Chychrun fits as much. Part of his appeal is the low AAV, which matters less to NJD.
Let someone else overpay there...and put those assets towards a goalie</div></div>

I def feel that Fitz should target the “get bigger” players via FA, FWD wise at least as there great players available to sign, Forsberg would fit very nicely imo. As for using assets - NJ should def use them if so to obtain a top 4 dman. FA has some good options to sign a G

It’s def something outside of the box. Zadina could use a change of scenery as well as Zacha

Thread: Crowded Backend What Happens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tgasp67</b></div><div>I think Smith makes the team and the Vatanen signing pushes Kulikov to the 7th D and Carrick to the taxi squad. I'm moreso concerned with what happens to the powerplay. Vatanen is only really that good on the PP but Butcher, Smith, PK and Severson were the ones that I thought would be in those spots since it seems Lindy is running 2 defenseman on the PP. Maybe the Devils signed him bc one is being moved (possibly in a Laine deal) but I don't know if they have the appetite for what that would cost.</div></div>

Interesting outlook. I’d love Laine on nah, but not sure it would truly be worth the asking price

Smith def makes the team this year. Which I would think makes Butcher expendable. Just don’t know who or what the return would be, or package.

Thread: switch it up

You lost the season with hiring Laviolette. He’s a defensive minded coach whose numbers show that he’s deterred the offensive production of elite talent on teams he’s had. If you want the most out of Hughes, Hischier, Palms, Bratt etc. (as we’ve drafted and built this team on speed and skill) Laviolette is not your man.

I think Puj would sign for 1.2 x 2. I just upped it because I could. As for Raymond and Askarov, Raymond could MAYBE make a push for a roster spot. At least the 9 games to start the season seeing how he steps up given all the youth NJ seems to inserting into their system. Will be interesting to see

Thread: Moves

Def depends where that ARI pick falls. If it sits at 10 or even 13-14th overall, NJ should keep that pick - given how talented this draft class is. If you want to improve the top 6, take a flyer on Gal or Gran for a year/two deal. They had bad season so I’m sure you can sign them to a “prove it “ deal just for 1 year and see where that plays out. If they excel, flip them at TDL for more assets. (If NJ isn’t in a playoff spot at that point in time)

I think that could get it done as is. Maybe try to fit Mueller in there as his contract is up as well. An RFA I believe as well but is only due a cheap cheap amount TBL could afford for D depth

Thread: Use The 3 First Rounders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cperk92</b></div><div>This may be unpopular, but I think the best case scenario for us would be Vancouver losing to Minnesota and the pick deferring to next year, where the pick will be somewhere between 12-20, rather than it potentially being in the 20s this year.</div></div>

I’ve thought about that. And I’m not completely against it. If, however, we did end up with 3 firsts this year - would we somehow package that Van pick with a player like wood, Zacha, or McLeod to either move up or get a player from a cap strapped team?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>There are certainly a lot of things up in the air with this draft, especially without a prospect combine, but seeing as how Raymond should be in the NHL next season, I expect he goes in the top-5 and probably top-3.</div></div>

I agree a lot is uncertain this year. But I’m pretty sure the top 3 is a lock with Laf- By - Stut. Seeding 4-10 is completely wide open after that. Any team can make a huge jump in the draft when the order is selected. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out

Hypothetically, if the Leafs lost to Columbus in the play-in, but won the 3rd overall pick in the 2020 draft, do you think the Devils would trade their three 1st rounders for the 3rd overall pick, who I am assuming would be Lucas Raymond?</div></div>

For starters, Lucas Raymond isn’t going 3rd overall.

As for $ and term, I just guessed. I can’t see NJ signing an over 26 player long term. Gal and Gran - they’d be a low risk, high reward signing if so. Cheap, 1 year (prove yourself) deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChytilMania</b></div><div>Palmieri is one of the best shooters in the league. Any team could use a player of his caliber. Bump up your demands.</div></div>

I agree.. BUT to stay relevant and able to compete to wins some games (not do what Detroit is doing this year), I feel that the return for Palms should include an NHL ready player. Someone in the age group that fits with Hughes and Nico. Given the Devils need on D, I targeted Zadorov, who is young and his next contract wont be absurd. His grit and size greatly help NJ immediately on the back end along with another 1st round pick.... I feel that NJ should ask for Byram straight up but I know that wont happen... so Fitz counters with a 2020 first and Timmins, ultimately ending with Sakic saying 2021 1st and Zadorov.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireShero</b></div><div>I really think Mueller will get another contract from the Devils because he is Swiss like Hischier; maybe even 2 if Fitzgerald likes him and doesn't want him to become a UFA next off season.

Nico hangs with Bratt and Zacha. Mueller being on the team now has 0 impact on Hischier

I have to agree with you on that, but I just don’t see NJ resigning Mueller. So I just traded him for the sake
