fawning deference posted:Ruff has said as much that Fitzgerald is going to add at the deadline, and the Devils have a need for a shooting top six winger, so I expect them to make a splash too. Fitz has been focused on players with years of team control, Kane is a no-go for multiple reasons (not sure if you meant Kane or just being buyers in general). Gotta think Grier will pull the trigger on a Meier trade at some point, makes no sense to sign another Hertl-like deal.

fawning deference posted:UMich coach said that he would "bet his mortgage" on Luke Hughes being with the Devils after the end of the college season The problem with Luke is if he plays a playoff game they burn a year of his ELC, Nemec would be different. I am praying the Rangers do something dumb and trade for Kane, dude is cooked.

T-Bone posted:I don't think Luke will play in the playoffs unless they're losing and are looking for momentum. Agreed, unless there are injuries I think the six dmen is pretty set. I'm hopeful they don't deal Severson, that man has been through a lot of poo poo, he deserves to stick with this team if he wants. (Resigning him is another story.) I'm concerned that NJ has some structural flaws that a decent coach will go to work on in a 7 game series. Haula-Boqvist-Mercer would be a nice third line if they can actually get another top six winger for Jack. Counting the days until Wood and McLeod are off this team (c'mon Hockey Canada investigation, what's taking so long).

T-Bone posted:I think the likely return from a playoff team is a 1st + a solid prospect. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd as the cherry. I don't think they get a 1st AND a top prospect from anyone. I saw a rumor from a somewhat reliable source that it's top prospect + 2 picks, I wonder if Holtz qualifies as he's best buds with Eklund and can't carve out a space here yet.

T-Bone posted:some stuff from NJ.com They seem a little higher on Mukhamadullin than I currently am, he looked lost in the couple of games for Utica last year and his only production comes on the PP. Gritsyuk is pretty interesting. Casey's injury was odd, looked like his skate caught in the ice while he ran into a guy up high, not a typical knee injury looking play. Bahl is emergency 7D, I don't think they'll resign Graves, Hughes with Marino feels like a slam dunk next year. Not sure if they'll look at Nemec making the jump too. What's also interesting is it sounds like Fitz offered Bratt a long term deal between Nico and Jack (somewhere just under 8M/yr) and Bratt wanted over 8M and didn't negotiate. If he tries to push it close to 9M after this year, Fitz has a dilemma on his hands. All the better to try to get Meier now to reduce the risk of being forced into an uncomfortably large contract for Bratt or forced into trading him with no real plan B.

T-Bone posted:If they have to go to like 9m on Bratt they just should. They're never going to get enough back in a potential trade Yeah I just worry that if he wanted over 8 last summer, he'll probably want over 9 after this season. The upside on a contract like that feels like "Bratt meeting expectations" I'm not sure you want too many contracts like that on the books for that kind of cap hit when Mercer is going to eat up most of the cap rise after next year. Helloooooo Ondrej Palat contract.

mcmagic posted:This is wrong. Wood was way better last year than he was any time in his career before. And he was even good in the first 15 games of this season. Agreed that he's been dogshit since then for whatever reason. He probably should be a scratch. I have to agree, last year was my favorite year of the Miles Wood experience (he played three games after having hip surgery in October). Catching up now, but the funniest thing was Gaudreau called up Columbus and was like "please make me an offer, don't make me go to NJ/NYI" and they were caught completely off guard. Fitz thought he had it in the bag since his son was teammates with him at BC. JG and his agent just ghosted him. Go ahead and boo, I don't care but Devils twitter is the worst, BrattPack is an idiot.

So potential injury concerns: Holtz crosschecked in Utica left the game injured hasn't played since Blackwood tweaked something in practice hasn't played since ....Maybe Mukhamadullin said something bad about Putin and lost a fight with a window?
