Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 2 hours ago, mfitz804 said: I feel like there is no possibility we offload Zacha AND Subban AND Johnsson AND Tatar in one year... PK is a goner, no question. I can see Tatar being bought out…I think he’s been that meh and brings that little upside. If someone wants to cough up a low-round pick, OK, but I’m not interested in a “Sh!t for Sh!t” deal. Johnsson is still just young enough that if the Devils pick up some of his money, a team might take a flyer on him (it will be a Butcher-type situation…hey, we’ll take the player and his cap hit for you, but don’t expect anything in return). I think Zacha signs a one-year, $3.5 - 4 million deal…here you go Pavel, last chance. You’re free to go on the open market after this season.

Which was what Simmonds, PK, Tatar, etc etc were At this point with what we have i'd rather fill our bottom 6 internally and IF we can land a top player in UFA like Forsberg then you go for it. The only thing is getting a goalie. Getting a top forward or dman during the offseason feels like getting a new car or a toy. Getting a goalie feels more like one of those adult spending you have to do but don't want / like to. Like a new Washer / dryer or a new roof. It's boring, but you need it. And it's just so.... hard to gauge, you can literally sign the top goalie available and he's going to sh!t the bed all year while some scrub who was traded for a 5th round pick will be a vezina finalist. Then one guy is on top of the world one year and he's terrible the next. That's why i'm really not that down to pay a lot for a goalie, they are just historically too up and down If Bernier is healthy, I think the Devils go into next season hoping any two out of Blackwood/Daws/Bernier pan out. I think Fitz is one season away from looking outside the organization for any new goalies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they'd move him though. They have less than $2m in cap space, if they were looking to make another move and needed to clear salary, that would be why. But I would think they would start elsewhere, rather than a near PPG guy making under $5m. Edited March 16, 2022 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a cap hit of $7.15 million for six more years and is only 23...makes me wonder why the hell Arizona would want to trade him, but also what it would take to get him. Gotta think Holtz is definitely one piece...maybe Mercer too. Not saying that I'd want to deal them, but they're going to be looking for NHL-ready kids who aren't due much money. He's listed as a C...is that the position that he actually plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
