2024 Offseason Thread - It’s FINALLY here


Recommended Posts

I wish we could've been in on Ryan McCleod trade.(Buffalo)  Many people feel Sabres were fleeced. Me, not at all. He could play in top 6. Let's look back at this trade a year or two down the line.

Not as good as other McLeod imo. Production wise maybe. I like his speed and seems to know how to play, but they gave up too much if that was the player they wanted. Not as good of a faceoff man either. I think the Oilers chose other players to climb the lineup when they needed them from their bottom 6. 

Oilers get a top young player for a depth player and an AHLer. It's the Holtz trade basically. Yeah, they get something they can use out of it, but the idea that R.McLeod is a top 6 player seems to be less likely. Just don't see him getting better than what he is. 

Savoie gives them a really young center who is small, but he's pretty fast, fairly high skilled. Point per game in the AHL in very limited time. Gives them an injection of youth with the loss of Foegle. He's going to push for a roster spot this year. That has to be the only reason Buffalo wants to move off him because they have a lot of potential centers who aren't as undersized. They lost Peterka to the DEL, which is wild. They still have an abundance of youth players. Buffalo is baffling right now. They can't squander all the young talent.

Yeah read that the day it came out, and Fitz is getting his fair share of kudos elsewhere for tweaking the identity of team and finding guys to address weaknesses and who should make them tougher to play against, which is nice to see.  Had the NHL Network on a few days ago (in the background, was doing some stuff around the house), some show with Stu Grimson and another guy, and they had a guest on...I didn't catch everything, but the guest didn't like much of what the Sabres and Isles have been doing, but then said in a Borat voice "The Devils?  VERY NIIIICE!"

As long as Markstrom and Allen can come close to 2022-23 VV and Schmid regular season performance, Devils should be plenty damned good.  Especially since this team should play much better in front of them than last year's bunch.  Better players, better coaching, better system...2024-25 should be more of a season of everyone helping each other; last year was the exact opposite.

Are you saying the goaltending is still a question mark?

I literally cannot read his name without adding Question before it anymore 😂

I have such high hopes for this kid. I really hope he doesn't end up going anywhere.

He appears to be wise beyond his years; seems like a really good kid. Plus, he grew up a Devils fan. And obviously the kid can play. The more we get to know Casey, the more I’d prefer to hang on to him.
