Thread: Crazy idea that might backfire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zyyyp</b></div><div>The fact that they're still a bottom 3 team 7 years into the rebuild after picking first overall twice indicates that something already has gone very wrong for them. This team isn't going to be fixed in a single offseason, there are a lot of issues here that need solving.</div></div>

I mean everything that could that gone wrong with the Devils this season have gone wrong. Their 1B goalie retired right before the season started, their top center coming into the season and captain has been out of the lineup pretty much all season, the entire team got destroyed by covid, then continued to be crushed by even more injuries and covid throughout the season literally to this day.

If you think the Devils aren't going to be a better team, even a bubble team, next season then you have no idea what you're talking about. Theyre already one of the best 5v5 teams in the league, which is very impressive considering how young they are. On top of everything mentioned before, they have been sunk by horrible special teams and goaltending. If those 2 regress to the mean and they maintain being a very good 5v5 team, they will be in the race next season. They likely wont picking in the top 10 again after this season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zyyyp</b></div><div>awful idea. I would take a top 3 pick in 2022 or 2023 by itself over Makar, and that is a very realistic possibility.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>2022: Wright, Lambert, McGoarty, Miroshnichenko, Nemec, Fleming, Howard, Savoie, etc etc
2023: Bedard, Michkov, the younger Fantilli, younger Jarventie, etc

I don’t know if we want to sit those ones out.
Makar would be nice though.</div></div>

If the Devils are still in the running for the top pick in 2023 then something has gone very very wrong for them. They shouldn't even be in the running next year(2022), if we're being honest, they should realistically be a bubble team and end up picking in the 11-13ish range

Thread: Expansion Draft according to BleacherReport
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Zajac is not on team anymore
Teams don't match forward lines against opponents def pairings.
Other way around.

<a href="http://www.puckiq.com/woodmoney?season=20202021&amp;tier=Elite&amp;positions=clr&amp;team=njd&amp;group_by=player_season_team&amp;min_toi=90" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a></div></div>

You said McLeod has played more minutes against other teams top lines than anybody else. And that is just false. Zajac played more when he wss on the team and Zacha played more too. Maybe McLeod has the past few games with Zajac bring traded and Zacha being hurt? And in Zacha's absence it still wasn't McLeod, it was Hischier. So you're still wrong, and those minutes aren't even close to McLeod so you made that up or what?

Teams don't match their forwards up against opposing top pairings but they can avoid the matchup if they want to, especially at home. Which they don't. Johnsson also plays against opposing teams top forward lines more than McLeod does.

Thread: Expansion Draft according to BleacherReport
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Both role players
But we need McLeod more than we need Johnsson.
Centers more valuable.
And he is our only RHC.
Can take face-offs.
And<strong> McLeod plays more minutes than anyone else against top lines. </strong>
Can't ask Johnsson to do that - he gets sheltered more than anyone who is not a teenager on team.

Either way, I'd rather they take Merkley than Mango or Mcleod</div></div>


I mean, thats just not true. Zajac had the most minutes against opposing teams top lines, and after him its Zacha.

Its not even remotely true that Johnsson is sheltered when he faced opposing teams top D pairing almost triple the amount of time that McLeod does, and more than anybody on the team not named Hughes.

Johnsson can atleast fill into a top 6 role whereas McLeod is a 4c and nothing more, hes expendable and replaceable. Theres zero reason to protect McLeod over Johnsson. Zero

Thread: please
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>the isles beat writers are delusional. Most of the things they say never come to fruition. When most fans talk about fit, they assume hall isn't good defensively and Palmieri is. If you actually look at the numbers hall is better defensively than Palmieri- pretty much puts that narrative to bed.

Sure money is a factor but lee is on LTIR and the isles can afford to take on hall with little retention</div></div>

Lol okay. So most people in the hockey world, not just isles beat writers, agree that Palmieri is a better fit for this team in Trotz' system over Hall, so i guess they're all delusional then? Got it, makes sense. I think you're the delusional one here. Palms is absolutely a better fit for this team, its not even a question. I'd give up more for Palmieri than Hall any day of the week this season.

I'm not talking about cap space, im talking about real money. Teams dont want to take on more money and are limiting how much they take on as much as they can. Palmieri is essentially half the money that Hall is, thats a big factor right now.
