Thread: Draft Week Distraction

Honestly, if Montreal takes Slafkovsky, I think the Devils have so many options it actually makes the spot envious.

1) Draft Wright
2) Trade Down for Nemec or JIricek
3) Trade #2 for an impact player

Thread: Ken sober or me high

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>Devils accept if Lambert or Miroshnichenko is on the board</div></div>

I would think Devils accept regardless. We have 3 4th rounders so we basically move up 8 spots for a 4th rounder. I'd always take that deal

Thread: If the Habs Take Slaf Does Fitz Pick Up the Phone

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Alright so I'll preface this by saying that all this talk around the Habs possibly taking Slaf first is just not going to happen. They will almost certainly take Wright. Yes I know, I saw McKenzie's final rankings but just 3 years ago he barely had Hughes over Kakko in his final rankings too.</div></div>

I think Montreal takes Wright...BUT, since 2009, every player Bob McKenzie has had #1 is his final rankings ended being drafted #1 as well. That's 13 years in a row and it could be more, i just didnt search prior to '09.

Thread: TOR Trade and Draft Shock

I genuinely like the idea of drafting Nemec, but it's really hard to accept taking him at #2 for me personally. Would love if there's a way to trade down a spot or 2 and grab him.

But then again, if he's our guy, then you take him regardless

Thread: 2nd OA is a trap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>He also leaked Price waiving his no movement clause a day before anyone thought it was possible. That was only Frank.

Yes, it is speculation so what's your point? I've had literally every response be negative, including JUstaboss, to the Kulak, Chiarot and Lehkonen trades and I was correct in the return more or less. This doesnt stop me. Anderson is being unveralued by the crowd here and many will be surprised yet again. You have Lebrun and Frank both reporting not speculation but actual conversations regarding Josh Anderson from other Gms and they are calling Hughes!</div></div>

I agree with you that other GMs are actively interested in Anderson, but Bratt aint the price nor is he getting dealt. And for people who are quoting Fitzy saying the devils need 'harder skill' Bratt is not the person on the way out. 1 thing that Seravelli and Friedman leave out when they talk about Bratt being potentially traded is that at Fitzgerald's End of Year press conference, he talked about how important Bratt is to the team and resigning him is a must. And mentioned multiple times throughout last season and this season that Bratt is part of the main core.

Thread: New Jersey 2022-23

Just a couple notes before people start ripping you:

Johnny will probably sign closer to $10mil per year

Bratt is projected to get around $7mil per year

Zacha has a qualifying offer of around $4.5mil so I doubt he will sign for 3 years at $1mil

Marino is worth way more than a 4th and a cap dump.

And I believe Campbell will fetch closer to $5mil (although this one is just my speculation)

Thread: Devils havent taken a cap dump in six years

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>Barbashev has been good this year, but doesn’t fill a glaring need. We need a definitive top 6 winger and Barbashev just broke out this year. Without Graves, we’re thin on LHD</div></div>

Nah, I'd take that trade for the Devils. We aren't competing this year and Graves is most likely not coming back when is contract is up (assuming we sign severson instead). Sure, we are thin this year if we trade Graves but we could also just sign a LHD in FA. After this year, we are loaded with LHD (Bahl, Siegs, Okhotyuk, L. Hughes, Shakir, maybe Topias Vilen).

I'd take a flyer on Barbashev and see if he can repeat his performance

Thread: Lets just play it safe

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I am guessing the gap between Wright and Cooley is a lot closer than the gap between Cooley and everyone else. According to Central Scouting, it was "a two-man race for #1" between Wright and Cooley in January and "the gap has closed" in May. Dan Marr said that a number of teams scouts have Cooley ahead of Wright.

So, teams could be aggressive in moving up to #2.</div></div>

Yep, exactly what I was thinking when doing the trade.

Thread: Lets just play it safe

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Why does AZ do that? Assume that Wright goes to Mtl. Our needs are RD and wing. AZ does not give up a 1st to move 1 spot for a guy (Cooley) who will be there at 3 anyway.
EDIT: Now if Mtl goes Cooley like here: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3238724 then yes your play works! Order would then look like:
1. Cooley 2. Wright 3. RHDs/Slav</div></div>

I'm saying Arizona trades up so another team doesn't trade up with us for #2. If Arizona feels like another team might move above them and they really want Cooley, then that's why they'd pay that extra pick.

They definitely don't have to do that, but thats my thought process if Cooley is there #1 guy

I wouldn't give up on Smith after 1 bad year. Let's see what he can do with a defensive partner</div></div>

Not a dig at Ty, but the mistakes he made last year were on him, not his defensive partner. Just personally, I don't think having a better defensive partner will fix his mistakes. They were a lot of self-provoked mistakes and his poor skating put him in some bad situations.

Thread: Some Interesting Stats

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>We are just young. Size isn’t an issue in Nj.

And the shot-blocking by forwards is I believe worse.

But shows how goaltending is the biggest issue to address for this team.</div></div>

Size on paper isn't an issue, but seeing some of these playoff games...our team would get killed. I just feel like we have size for size-sake. No one on our team plays a physical style of hockey except for our 4th line.

Goaltending is definitely the biggest problem, but its not the only problem to me. I'd like us to get a little older and more physical this offseason if possible.

Don't think Husso gets over 5M based on such a small sample size. It would take at least a 7 x 9M to land Forsberg.

Bahl 1st pair LD and Siegenthaler 3rd pair RD? Lol.</div></div>

Yeah i only had those pairs since Bahl has been playing with Dougie but believe me, that better not be the case next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucker</b></div><div>Nah..NJ needs a top end winger..and severson is definitely a great player don't get me wrong..but he's also 27 and NJ has a lot of D so they can afford to loose severson, if it means bringing in a top player like boeser..also it wouldn't be a 1 for 1..NJ would likely have to add something else on top of seversen. If not then it would likely be zacha+Smith or bahl and mid round pick for boeser</div></div>

I feel like its harder to find a top 4 RHD then a top end winger though

Thread: Boeser To NJ

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>What did Toffoli just go for?</div></div>

The 1st Coleman got in return was in the 20s. The 1st that Calgary gave up for Toffoli will be in the high 20s. The devils 1st rounder this year will be top 5. Now bear with me, cuz i havent done the math on this yet, but i think a top 5 pick is way more valuable then a 1st rounder in the mid to late 20s

I think im hoping that in 23 we arent a bottom 10 team. But I see your point. I'm getting to a point where these top picks are frustrating to have, because it never feels like we take a next step.

Personally, I'd rather get players in their prime to pair with our core. But again, i see your point

I'm confused, why wouldn't we take the devils trade? Zacha and Boqvist are not future pieces for us. So in my eyes its Boeser for a 1st in '23
