Thread: If Bratt Wants Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>1 - He had plenty of company. Meier was definitely worse than him. Hamilton was way worse than him. Hischier was not better. So why offload Bratt? Is he just the agreed scapegoat or something? It's weird.

2 - He had 17g and 33pts the back half of the season, including 4g and 8a the last 12 games of the season.

He had 15g and 40pts the first half of the season. Is this such a huge difference he should be cast aside? Again, weird.

And again, he had loads of company in tailing off after the midway point of the season.</div></div>

1) Meier, Hischier, and Hamilton were not worse than Bratt. It's not all about the counting stats. Meier especially had a huge impact in the series vs the Rangers with his physicality and his ability to get under the skin of many of their top players. Hamilton didn't play well either, but still showed better than Bratt. And Hischier had a very good playoffs in the eyes of devils fans; just had trouble finding the back of the net, but he showed why he's the captain.
2) If you watched every game, you'd know what I mean. The effort was weak, he was easily getting knocked off pucks, and just wasn't dynamic like the first half of the year

Thread: Every Players Trade Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Fun idea...but most of these are a little light.

<strong>Way too cheap:</strong>
Hughes - has *A LOT* more value than two middle-six wingers and picks
Sharangovich - A 2nd and bottom-sixer? What the?
Siegenthaler - A 2nd...oof. (How is Graves the same amount as Siegs?)

<strong>Too cheap:</strong>
Mercer
Hamilton

<strong>Too rich:</strong>
Bratt - depends on extension...could actually be asking too much back
Wood - might not even get a 4th at this point.
Vanecek - we overpaid for...he should be a little less.
Johnsson - not sure he can get a 3rd.</div></div>

"Middle six wingers and picks."
The "middle six wingers" are young players who were taken in the first and second round and have value accordingly, still tons of room to grow, and "the pick" are two firsts and a second, not exactly the same thing as just your average run of the mill picks"

Thread: MY vision for opening night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rvetter241908</b></div><div>Oh I would absolutely want to keep Graves too, it just depends what his next contract is asking for. Obviously depends on how he plays next year. If he plays the same way this upcoming season like he did this past season, personally I would not give him anything over $4M.</div></div>

If you are assessing Graves play as that poor, Inwould move him. You get a replace LD and then some. Not that I would. Devils failed to meet my expectations last year in a big way - injuries played a small roll, but the goaltending was, well, ugh.

With the latter hopefully shored up, and the Metro not getting significantly better in relation to what Fitz did, they should challenge for a playoff spot.

If they fall out, Severson, Graves, Tatar and Johnsson all garner serious assets. Severson amd Graves possibly 1st round picks.

Fitz has set this up well.
