i know there’s the funky contract language that makes Meier a risky acquisition but my god the idea of throwing him on Nico’s line for the next 8+ years does something to my pants 

What language are you talking about?

Absolutely can’t wait until he’s up here. Shame it’ll probably be 2023 but no need to rush him 

Arguably the need is there, but it’s just a bad idea. I think we have a sizeable hole on defense right now between PK departing and Smith playing like he does. Luke would slot right in. 

But I definitely agree that another year of seasoning will help his development.

Still haven’t seen anything about the Michigan coach returning or not. If he doesn’t, I wonder if Luke would have second thoughts about going back? I definitely don’t want to rush him, but I would feel a little better about him joining the big club now that Nas is gone. And I think he’s probably too good to spend an entire season in the AHL.

I’m fine with Luke staying at Michigan for one more year. It really helped Quinn, and I think it’ll help Luke too. I’d prefer he stay, honestly.

I heard speculation he was not returning. I tend to think he would be better off in the AHL than in college, personally.

I could obviously be very wrong about this but it feels like it's either Michigan or the NHL for Luke.  The only way I think that he smells the AHL is if he has a tough time in the NHL (as opposed to Utica being a stepping stone) and gets sent down for more seasoning...but even Smith didn't wind up playing in Utica this season, and that's a guy who really seemed to need it.

Not gonna lie...I really like that nASS isn't here to potentially ruin any more defensemen.  But hopefully whoever comes in to replace him has the slightest clue.  Gonna completely lose my sh!t if some nASS Part Deux is the next guy up.

Slaf and Nemec were very great against Canada. Nemec looked very solid. Both offensively and defensively. Slaf is a big version of Jack Hughes. I would prefer to trade down if mtl will decide to pick Slaf. Realy great draft and how awesome to have top 5 pick this year.

 

Severson score, and I would say score against. Typical Damon. 

 

 

I would prefer 1 year in AHL or even in Ncaa for Luke  but if he can handle it - he can handle it. I'm just not a fan of rushing players, especially defenemen. I would say we have QB's, and I would prefer to give a chance to Nikita or Kevin, and find stayathome RD to partner them. We should trade Smith out from the beginning  

 

Mercer looked good too. Hope Fitz will find right goalie. Team is full of talent.

Everything I could say when I'm watching WC is that Slaf, Nemec and Jiricek over Cooley. Easily. But you should watch games ofcourse. It would be a great draft day for the Devils. We can't lose. They are great.
