There is nothing of value in there for NJD. We'd rather keep Marino.

Holtz put up much better AHL numbers 2 years ago than Farrell is now.
Same draft class, holtz much more upside, pedigree.
And an effective NHL producer

Thread: Trading our top 5v5 scorer

I know that missing the playoffs is disappointing for the Devils, but they have an incredibly young group - it seems unwise to trade away potential pieces like Holtz just to get a Goalie that they could sign a similar version of in free agency in the next couple years.

ULLMARK DOES NOT GUARANTEE A CUP.

His playoff numbers have been atrocious, and anything can happen in the playoffs. 9 years of Mercer gives us a better chance than 2 years of ullmark

Thread: blown up

Markstrom at 6 mill is not something NJD will give up significant assets for him

At that cap hit with his age, term, and NMC the value isn't there.

We'll take the contract, and pay the piper down the line in salary if he falls off. But we won't be giving up significant draft capital on top of that.

If you want more draft capital, retain

Thread: Time for Jersey to move on from Vanacek

Devils do not need Pearson. If they are healthy, the top 9 is hard to push anyone out of.

As far as goaltending, this doesn't help the Devils at all. Give no idea of a goalie the Devils should get.

Thread: Anaheim Ducks

Not paying anything close to that for a 30 year old 6.4 million goalie who has been below average for the better part of the last 5 years. Would be a disastrous decision that would derail the devils entire window.

Thread: Loose as a Goose

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>His age at the position makes him coveted. Goalies take forever to mature and their quality of play lasts longer than other positions.

This is probably the min price in this theoretical trade scenario where the best available goalie and defender are dealt. Not to mention Calgary would need incentive with the goalie market being hot at the moment according to the pundits.</div></div>

Untrue. The only goalie since 2007 to be a top 10 goalie from ages 33-35 (the life of markstroms contract over which he will have a top 10 salary) is Lundqvist

Rinne and Smith were the only other decent ones. It is VERY unlikely that markstrom even plays up to his contract, let alone provides significant surplus value

Thread: NJDs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>Honestly Luke has been a straight up upgrade over Graves, even on defense. What we really are missing is Severson, but Nemec can fill that role when Dougie is back. Pettersson or Hanifin to push Siegenthaler down the lineup would be huge, but it won't fix our goaltending in itself</div></div>

I’d go after both a dman and a goalie. Pettersson imo also vastly improves our PK. I’ve noticed how much better our PK is with Smith in the lineup (which is why I want him in at 4LW for now). If we could get a good PK dman like Pettersson who doesn’t destroy our 5v5 play like smith does that would be fantastic

Thread: How To Not Make Friends

I don’t know what to tell you but Nemec at 900kx3 years+4 years of RFA control has significantly more value than Pettersson at 4 millx2 years

Even if you’re arguing he’s a 10 million dollar player, that would only be 12 mill in surplus value.

Nemec to provide that would need to be a 5 mill player to provide that over his ELC alone

Thread: Why do we need to involve Boston in the first place

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Calgary has no desire to move him, especially with retention. If a team wants him then they will have to pay up for what he is right now which is a top goalie in the league. If you don't want to do that then so be it. Calgary has no issue letting him mentor Wolf, Markstrom has already shown to be very good at that role first with Demko and rhen again with Vladar</div></div>

How has Vladar been mentored? He was a highly promising prospect turned into a bad backup

I totally get it. There are players that are clearly that missing piece and I think Sway could be it for a few teams. I don't think a lot of Bs fans realize how fortunate we've been to have high-end goaltending for over a decade straight now.

I could live with that price as a devils fan but I'm sure boston fans would be against it because goalies never go for nearly as much as people think
