I'll take it! Now draft that Russian goalie with the 6th rounder that we've been asking for all this time! 😁

Someone fill me in as to why Tampa would be letting him go? Is he due an extension?
Yep, they basically can't afford Jeannot and Colton, assuming Killorn re-signs. And Colton would be the odd man out. Good article on it: https://thehockeywriters.com/devils-target-ross-colton-forward-depth/

If Fitz can get Colton that would be excellent. Not to mention, the guy has been a Devils fan his entire life and would be a maniac in the playoffs for that reason.

Bout time. Eight years is a lot. Bratt better be a different player in the spring next year.
Exactly. If he disappears again in the playoffs and mopes around on the ice, it'll suck.

It’s a town I’d go back for a game in a heartbeat. The atmosphere was freaking awesome and the people were a blast
It looked like one giant party last night. Definitely a place I'd want to be at if a team was doing well

Congrats to VGK. They dominated this series. Marschessauit and this group are impressive
-
That was an ass kicking but I guess it's better to lose 9-3 than 2-1 in OT.
-
Could we see a touchdown and a field goal? That'd be pretty scummy to run up the score but it would be history

As fast as they hit the big time, I feel like they could fall off just as fast and be in a rebuild, or at least in a major retool around Eichel before you know it. Pietrangelo, Martinez, Stone, Marchessault, Smith, Wild Bill and Stephenson are all 29 or older. With the back surgeries, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stone is out of hockey in like two years. It doesn’t seem like they have much in the pipeline either.
Yea but with players playing into their mid-late 30s nowadays they could keep this up for probably 3-4 years, assuming they can keep their core intact. Stone probably has 2-3 years left in him, I agree. I think it would awesome to see a Devils team hitting their stride in 2025-26 vs an older veteran VGK team that's on their last glory run in the SCF.

This Vegas team reminds me of the '12 Kings team. Goaltender that stops everything, physical forwards, forecheck, and score pretty much at will. They're going to be hard to beat over the next few years until teams figure them out.

Vegas is dominating. This game has 5-1 written all over it.

But what if it’s them vs… CBJ/Rags/anyone but the Devils…. 🤔
(I’m choosing sarcasm this morning)
If it's the Rangers or Hurricanes, exceptions can be made, lol

The dude is a gigantic bitch and I've lost all respect for him this season. He is almost always the third man in any scrum, and just again last night he comes in swinging his stick and slashing at people's shins and legs. He refuses to drop the gloves and actually go toe to toe with anyone.
I'm tired of seeing him chew his mouthguard. It's annoying to have to watch.

Yep. Looks like Vegas is winning the Cup. Give them the trophy this year and then be done with it.
I don't want to see Vegas repeat next year.

I’m getting tired of Bratt’s sh!t.
Bratt contributed zilch in the playoffs, yet here he is starting up with the nonsense. As much as I don't want to see him leave, if he doesn't want to be here then just trade him already. I'm sure Fitz could get a first-rounder for him at minimum.

VGK is sweeping this team most likely. The Panthers are playing unhinged and undisciplined.
I wonder how many more years Vegas can keep this up. Their core isn't that old (30's). They'll be a pain in the ass to have to face with our smaller group once we're ready to contend.
-
Vegas is such a dominating team. They're going to be tough to beat over the next 3-4 years

I actually think they offered Riley Smith for Vegas to select Marchessault.
Vegas also got a 1st and 2nd round pick from Columbus for them to take William Karlsson.
Ducks gave up Shea Theodore for VGK to take Clayton Stoner.
And Minnesota threw in Alex Tuch to get VGK to take Haula.
That's probably why none of these deals happened for Seattle haha
VGK probably built the quickest playoff-ready team in the history of the NHL. Most of their core guys are in their early 30's so they still have a few more years left.

It's coming down to Laviolette or Hynes as the NYR head coach. Something tells me they hire Hynes.

Pulling for Florida all the way. Hope they win the Cup

As long as Score-a-goal-vich doesn't bring back a 5th rounder and that's the end of it. Let's go Fitz!
