Thread: Domi and Bjugstad for Playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>Trade us good from CHI pov. Just wonder if we are in a rush to simply arms against the rangers.</div></div>

Eh it's less about the Rangers, who I'm not totally worried about outside of Shesterkin, and more just improving on some weaknesses for us.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>Wood is an interesting potential reclamation project. Obviously the 2nd is the key to the trade, but yeah I'd do this.</div></div>

I tried to make it as good for you guys as possible without going overboard. Wood, honestly you should probably just try to flip for a pick if possible. I mostly included him for cap reasons. He's not very good but his size and speed would be attractive to some GMs.

Thread: Mantha to NJ for Playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Is he any good though? Surely there are better, cheaper, options.</div></div>

He's probably not worth 5.7 right now, but he was on average a 2.3 GSVA player and averaged a 55 point pace over the previous 3 seasons. I think he could get back close to that with us. Not many guys available with that kind of upside with size, and relatively cheap, trade asset wise. He's missed a bunch of time recently but it's a relatively low risk, high reward swing, that, at worst is only on the books for another season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>With no retention, take him for free. With retention though there would need to be something more significant coming back than what you have here, otherwise caps will just wait and make a decision in the offseason</div></div>

Theoretically we could make this same trade with no retention. There's space. But a 3rd/2nd and a decent prospect in Foote for retaining 1.5 million feels pretty fair no?

We're a touch short on those first round picks. As for better prospects, That's fine. Anyone not named Hughes, Nemec or Holtz would be on the table.

He might say this but if we’re as interested in Meier (and resigning Bratt) as the reports indicate, it doesn’t really matter. Both are gonna cost at least 8, maybe more.

Thread: Devils add Meier in the Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>High end forwards heading into RFA...

Buchnevich = Blais, 2nd
Reinhart = late 1st, wildcard prospect

Eichel and a 3rd got Tuch, Krebs, 1st and 2nd

Krebs < Holtz

Tuch > Sharangovich

1st = 1st

Extra 2nd.

But realistically I only did this trade to avoid Sharks fans coming in here up in arms over what a ridiculously bad offer this is. I don’t actually think Meier would cost this much. Especially with some reports coming out that he’d cost less that DeBrincat (which I find unlikely but nevertheless)

But hell for Pete I would do it and I would even tell the canucks front office who they will have to bribe in order to win the lottery this year...</div></div>

This would be a great deal for us.

Nemec and Holtz are great prospects, but our right side is still Dougie-Marino and losing Nemec means we could potentially have long term space for Severson or someone else (Casey, UFA, etc). Adding EP to the forward core is a direct massive upgrade to Holtz and the two 1sts are gonna be late firsts cause EP makes this team insane.

This is a really easy yes imo.

Thread: Add Meier Keep Tatar

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>That blue line is already leaking on paper.</div></div>

I don’t think it’s that bad. Downgrade from this season, probably but the pieces are there to be good. Luke will probably have some growing pains but should be great offensively from the get go. Bahl has looked very good in a bottom pairing role, and while I think we can do better than Smith, he’s also been mostly fine in a 3rd pair role.

I will say I think it’s more likely we don’t sign Tatar and resign Graves instead.

Yeah that’s fair. Production wise he’s producing at the 4th best rate of his career, which is definitely good. Again, I just can’t see him getting more money than what he got the last time he was a UFA. Maybe he gets the same deal though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodfella</b></div><div>I don't think the 3rd is necessary in the Meier trade, but the lack of ice time this season for Holtz is concerning.

Does NJD need Meier? You guys seem to be rolling without him.</div></div>

Maybe, maybe not. I just added the 3rd to make it a good trade for both sides, I don’t think that’s too much considering the player we’d be getting back.

Do we NEED Meier, probably not. But there’s money and players coming off the books next year and we might look a bit different. Adding Meier gives us a 2nd elite winger that would really put us over the edge in terms of competing for a cup over the next 5-7 years.

I see it as
In the summerbefore the draft Timo for Holtz or our 1st, a prospect, and smaller stuff (lesser picks, prospects)
Timo is a sign and trade once they can't get it done in SJ</div></div>

Frankly I only added the 3rd to make an obviously fair trade that wouldn’t get bombarded with Sharks fans.

Yeah we’re likely gonna look pretty different on the back end next year. I think it’s more likely the team let’s Tatar walk and tries to bring back Graves.

I mean maybe? He only got 3.5 x 2 coming off some really good MTL years (playoff scratches notwithstanding), and now he’s older and had a poor 21/22 season too. I can’t see him making more than what he’s making now but maybe 2.5 is a bit low.

Evolving Hockey has his contract projection at 7x5.72. That’s where I got that number from, they tend to be pretty accurate with their prediction. But idk what the hell he’s gonna get given he’s been unsigned for so long. Probably a bit lower? I figured he’d be off the board day 1.

He’s played 9 games…

Gritsyuk has been unable to dominate the NHL either. He had 28 points in 39 games. Great for a 20 year old, but that’s not /dominating in that league/

Holtz just put up one of the better D+2 AHL seasons we’ve seen and is still a tier above Gritsyuk, both based on the likelihood he is a full time NHL player, and in his ceiling as a prospect. Best case scenario for Gritsyuk is what? A solid middle six winger. Best case for Holtz is a 40g top line winger with one of the best shots in the league. It’s really not close.

When both the Devils and Bratt’s agent have said they’re working on it and then Seravalli reports that nothing has started, then I’d say he’s not that reliable.

Sure, Walsh or Foote would work there too. Neither of those guys have proved anything at the NHL level though, so in my opinion, Boqvist has more value.
