Devilsfan118 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think this is a great pickup. Solid guy, even if he's a bottom pairing guy in the long run. Brings a lot of size that we desperately need. Curious what this does to our expansion list though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) We have so much room for improvement on defense, this certainly can't hurt - hopefully. Edited July 16, 2021 by titans04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Don't know enough about Graves to have an opinion on this but at least he's not related to Adam. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 We have to use a protection spot for Graves now, so I wonder if this means Subban is left unprotected….. 9 minutes ago, Satans Hockey said: Don't know enough about Graves to have an opinion on this but at least he's not related to Adam. https://www.nhl.com/devils/news/devils-acquire-defenseman-ryan-graves-from-colorado/c-325666172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Yeah, considering how charmin ultrasoft this team is, I’ll take a guy that’s 6’5” and willing to hit and fight. oh and he isn’t Matt fvcking Tennyson 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Apparently he won the AHL All-Star hardest shot one year with 103.4 MPH. He definitely has a cannon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it means sh!t for us but again, it’s something to move the needle a little rather than the Colton White signing, right @MadDog2020 (I think it was you that had the initial “who gives a fvck” about the signing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could see last season as just a down year (plus he had COVID real bad). He’s a former 20 goal scorer with good advanced stats, so I could see them viewing him as the best option from us. Him or Subban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's who goes as well but not sure I want to send them anything. Other than Fitz making himself look bad, is there a reason we can't just leave Siegenthaler available? Depending on the type of year he has, Subban is worth a late 2nd at worst and late 1st at best at the trade deadline if we're out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I really doubt Kraken taking Subban, even if he's only making 2 mil in actual salary. Because he still 9 mil against the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they need to make the floor…I don’t know if that’s an issue or not, but if it is, a guy like PK who is also marketable might be the perfect selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
