titans04 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Anybody else catch McKenzie tonight prior to the NY/CHI game saying he expects the Devils to give Cory another look down the stretch to see if he can be reincarnated.

With an injured player who would be ready to sacrifice a bit of their future for a real shot this year and one of our guys could be the missing piece. I'm not saying this trade cause i dont think it would work but something like... a Dman in colorado going down... then we could package Vatanen + vancouver or ari's first + something else for like Byram. I wouldnt mind overpaying a bit to get a good NHL D semi-established prospect vs gambling having a first close to where we should draft one and gamble that he will pan out.

And you and me know this. Especially if “something else” isn’t better than Vatanen or van/ari first. Sometimes conditional disagreement may be with notes of solidarity.

I dont know what we must offer for mr Byram and i think its more about palms+our first(our-our first) for byram+something garbage than vats+non our 1st + magicly something else.

What I essentially meant is that the perfect scenario for us would be to find a team (Team X) in a desperate situation because of injuries and in win-now mode. Willing to sacrifice a bit of their future to go-all out now. Colorado was an example of a team with injuries and in win-now mode that has some good D prospects. So I used that as an example to frame my reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Here's something nice to dream about. If we land another first round pick by trading Palmieri to any team that isn't Boston, it's possible that we will come out of the draft with the following four players even if we don't score one of the top four picks: Jamie Drysdale (5th or 6th overall) Marco Rossi (8th to 10th overall if Arizona fades quickly) Jan Mysak (with Vancouver/Tampa's pick 18-20) Jack Quinn (with pick acquired for Palmieri 18-22) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to get two of those four. If they manage to get another first round pick do you think they'll try and package it to move up the draft?

Steadevils Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Arizona is now out of the playoffs if they started today and they have more GPs than everyone in the league (They've played 5! more than Nashville who I still think is a better team). Really looking like they might miss the playoffs. The Hall trade will look much better if this ends up being a top 10 pick. Would be pretty funny if Shero gets fired for that trade and 1. the 1st is a top 10, 2. Merkley is a useful NHL forward, 3. Bahl pans out as a shutdown D...Might have to send Shero a fruit basket or something. On the Vancouver pick: I am not sure if I am rooting for them to make the playoffs and lose early so we get the 2020 pick or if I'd rather shoot for the moon and have them miss this year and then be terrible next year for an unprotected 2021 1st..I don't think Vancouver is really all THAT good, so could easily see them not making it this year and then being bad next year. Markstrom having a career year is really what is propping them up a bit this year. And then there is my favorite scenario where both Ari/Van pics end up being 2021 unconditioned 1sts and both teams are terrible and we end up with the 2021 #1 and #2 overall on top of our own 2021 31st overall pick 😎. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLinfante Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 There are plenty of weirdo scenarios revolving around Ari and their playoff odds this year; the Devils may benefit substantially or lose out on potentially high picks depending on the west race and the lottery. Like... Ari misses the playoffs, hits the lottery (Taylor Hall effect) and they keep the pick, moving the Devils' return to a 2021 unconditional first. It also means that Hall decides to resign with Ari because they add a key piece. The conditional 3rd sent to NJ becomes a 2nd because Hall resigns. However, Ari misses the playoffs again next year, and NJ is gifted a top three pick because Ari, once again, hits in the lottery (see Hall effect). All of this means that Hall would have been traded for a top-3 first, a high-to-mid 2nd, plus the three prospects. Not too shabby, though admittedly unlikely. I realize this is nonsense, but it does keep us Devils fans very interested in how things play out through the end of the regular season and the lottery balls pop up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moustic Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I will just wait the end of the season to be sure of anything... Maybe will have to wait Hall decision too. But anyway, we get Lafreniere. Just deal with it : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF that means. What else are they gonna say, that they’re 100% buying him out or trading him if we can somehow get 10 good games out of him and pawn him off on some sucker at 50% retained? Can’t exactly admit he’s a dead man walking when you still need to play him for various reasons (can’t put him on IR if he gets hurt in Bingo, you’re paying him anyway and the other guy sucks too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkin cutter Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I decided that we are keeping palms. Also gonna go ballsy and use all of our 3 1st rd picks. Now pay me whatever a gm makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very confident in saying that there is absolutely no chance in hell that Hall re-signs with Arizona if they miss the playoffs this year. He wants to be on a winning team and there's no way he signs up for more years with a franchise that has a huge history of failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute that trade was made, my first instinct was that he can’t be happy that was where he was headed. Pretty sure he will go free agent and figure out which of the multiple huge offers he would like to take. Truth be told, if I were Fitz (and technically I am), I’d still be making a call. We still have a sh!t ton of cap room. I’m not saying he’d answer the call lol. Edited February 21, 2020 by mfitz804 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I don't think he'll resign even if they make the playoffs. But I wasn't talking about what I actually expect to happen, but what could happen in theory to maximize the return the Devils got for Hall. Just having a little fun with the whole "Taylor Hall always wins the lottery" thing. And, for the record, every player "wants to win", but we'll have to wait and see what Hall decides when someone throws a massive contract at him.
