If Slaffy does go first, the Devils will have an interesting position. They really need a winger like him or a winger in general. I wonder if they'd think about trading down and getting an asset out of it, or just go with the top 3 down the middle and build around that.

It's gonna really suck if this happens. Slafkovsky is such a perfect fit for them.

See, the devils should just give the no 2 pick to the Rangers just because they are the Rangers. Makes sense.

Do Ranger fans who want the Devils to trade 2 for Kakko realize that the Devils and their fans see Kakko play a whole lot?

Is there any chance Nemec plays this upcoming season? I wanted Slafkovsky but I think I'm happier with Nemec than a midget center.

I would expect them to give him a year in the A, but I do think they will also allow him to compete in camp for a bottom-pair spot and he could win it. Ty Smith seems like trade bait/on the way out/replaceable. I'm excited for the Devils' young guys now and I hope Nemec can make it next year, and I really hope Alex Holtz plays well in his time up.

I know it's felt like "this is the year they elevate themselves" a couple of times, but it really does feel that way over the next year or two. Fitzgerald has been really good as GM, the Devils have zero bad contracts, a good bunch of impact prospects/really young players, and a ton of cap space to go after a very good class of available free agents.

Goaltending is voodoo but if Kuemper isn't horribly long-term I would love to see them get him.

Don't even mention Ty Smith. Hopefully they develop this dude differently/better.

Happy to repost any of The Athletic summaries of any teams if folks would like. Mostly just a centralized version of their pre-draft reports with minimal new insight (which is the happy medium of contentmill as gently caress but also useful?).

Post the Devils unless you have me on ignore lol
