    Yep, 4 of the 6 possible starters played most of the season in the AHL. Hamilton, maybe he is still hurt? He has played soft and has brought nothing to the PP.

    Noesen can't say I am a fan of this signing. I hoped for a depth center to win key faceoffs and play PK.

    I am officially off the we-need Pesce train. I have switched to getting Stamkos(5.5) and Dillon(3.5) each for 3 years. That leaves around 8-9 million for our RFA. Sign Mercer to a 2-3 year bridge deal. In three years Stamkos, Dillion, and Palat all come off the books.

    You are assuming Kovacevik can play off hand? not sure as a RHD he can play that side. I know Pesce has, we need someone to play the left side more

    The two newest Devils meeting center ice. The hit, not the fight

    I would assume 3rd paring which means probably no Pesce. So does FA money go to a LHD and top 6 forward? I know +/- might be overrated, With the number of games he played the last two years the fact he was a + in both seasons on a bad team.

    Will Holtz score 30+ for Vegas at some point? I can see that happening. All the signs point that Holtz was not wanted here, and did not fit into the style of play. Devils are in a win-now mode and you can not keep putting him out there in the hope that he fits in. It looks like they took...

    Adam Boqivst was bought out by the Blue Jackets, the 8th overall 2018 draft. Wonder if their fans are going to go nuts for not giving him more time or even trying to deal him.

    I don't think the Devils go crazy and fill all their needs via FA, they have some picks to play with. With three possible 2nd round picks next year expect one of them to be moved to fill a big need.

    This is the FA market most teams overpay for players at this stage. Except for the Palat deal I think Fitz has done a fantastic job managing the contracts for this team. Will he overpay for an FA this year, probably but again that is expected. Zadorov is my #1 hope, I don't think we get him...

    I hate that Holtz had such little value around the league, from what I have read Holtz was shopped to more than two teams. San Jose and Calgary both said no thank you. ESPN article used the term that Holtz was a "throw in" for this trade. Did Fitz kill his value? Maybe, but I am sure Keefe...

    I prefer to pass on Necas, if money rumors are true his contract would probably mean possible trouble signing L. Hughes, Mercer, and Nemc. Luke's contract could be 8-9 million if they give him an x8 deal. Necas speed seems like a fit but I would rather take the money build a better bottom 6...

    Wish I knew more about Rutger McGroarty, from what I read he would seem like a perfect fit for the type of player they are looking for. Would he be worth the 10th overall this year? This would add a player ready now or the near future. ELC control for three years' timing would be in sync...

    Markstrom can be average during the season, which would likely translate into a playoff team. After last season's debacle, any Devil fan would take a goalie hitting the Avg/SV% over the last three years .907, .904, and .904. Now, in playoffs, your goalie has to step up and that is where I...

    I agree, hope it is a forward that has good size. If players like Lindstrom, Sneecke, Eiserman, Iginla, and Catton are off the board they have to go best player available.
