mfitz804 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just now, devlman said: Tatar and Tarasenko in the top 6 would mean someone like a Sharangovich/Bratt on the 3rd line will get to feast on 3rd pair defenses. The depth on our team looks better and better. It’ll allow Holtz, Mercer, etc..to develop at the optimal pace. Agreed. I think Bratt especially would dominate against a 3rd pair defense.

SterioDesign Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) yeah i mean i'm not sure if landing Tatar necessarely take us out of the Tarasenko dirby. Didn't cost us any assets and it's buying us time until Holtz, Mercer and other guys win their spots This is a better lineup than we had last year. Not sure about that 4th line though. But with Holtz, Thompson, Clarke etc knocking on the door it might push other guys down our lineup to balance lines a bit better Tatar - Hughes - Tarasenko Zacha - Hischier - Sharangovich Kuokkanen - McLeod - Bratt Foote - Boqvist - Johnsson Graves - Hamilton Smith - Severson Siegenthaler - Subban Blackwood Bernier Edited August 5, 2021 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Perfect deal for Sharangovich…depending on how he develops, he’s a guy who becomes a permanent part of the core, or who gets traded for a 2nd-rounder and something else…basically, the Devils would be discarding an expendable, instead of bringing one in. Obviously rooting heavily for him to work out. Nothing more fun than watching kids turn into key players…and being there for those greener pastures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I also assume Tatar will come out flying with something to prove next season after being a healthy scratch in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Well adding Graves, Hamilton and Tatar is already a very successful offseason if you ask me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Fitz is doing a great job. If the young players come in and continue to take the next step then we are playoff bound. Also, I don’t think any other team in our division has actually improved over last season. Some have actually regressed (CBJ, NYR, Isles (for now), Bruins) Edited August 5, 2021 by devlman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great off season so far. Is it pronounced Tah-Tar or Tay-tar? I will be mispronouncing it as Tater regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadana Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 From all i did read and from what i did listen from Fitz personally, he did want to add Hamilton, Graves, Bernier, Saad. Everything wasnt goin like in beautiful saga, he did sign tatar instead of saad. I`m ok with that. I like length of the deal. Tatar isn`t good 200-foot player, but he is good offensive player. It`s a good deal and his sign and sign of Sharangovich can help with Zacha\Bratt negotiations next year. And i really like Fitz didnt spend prospects for injury prone Tarasenko.
