As the draft is coming up and we didn't trade our 1st for a goalie and assuming we keep the pick, who should the devil's select?

If pick is traded who would be a good target
- dmarsden2988

Depends who's on the board.

If we go D, we're likely looking at one of D*ickinson, Parekh, or Buium. I'd expect Levshunov and Silayev to be off the board, along with one or two other D I mentioned. So it'd probably be the case where we would take the last remaining guy of the top 5 D.

If we go forward, we could go many different directions. We're likely looking at a choice between some combination of Sennecke, Brandsegg-Nygard, Catton, Iginla(not likely he gets past Calgary though if he falls that far), Helenius, or Eiserman. I love Catton and he'd be my pick, but i'd be expecting one of Sennecke or MBN to be the pick because of size. Totally fine with any of these guys.

Small trade:

The Devils have acquired Adam Beckman from the Wild for Graeme Clarke.

I remember a couple years ago many thought Clarke was going to be a scoring machine

If Brady was available, Goodbye mercer, holtz, nemec/Casey and 10th

Imagine Timo and Brady on the same line
- Leniwm1

I could see that as a fan looking for the return but teams get fleeced all the time. Especially because rumors are he’s asked to be moved to nj because his gf or wife is from nj.

Lou traded nothing for kovy so hopefully it could be like holtz, Siegenthaler, 2024 1st and conditional 25 3rd that becomes a second if they make the scf

I know it seems underwhelming but that poop happens all the time and yet fans still laugh at bad potential trade offers.

THE Adam Beckman?!

I was joking - he's probably not going to get a call up. I dont know anything about the kid.

Even though my offer is alot, I'd give it up in a heartbeat and not even flinch.

Brady would alter our offence in a major way. I love mercer, but he doesnt have that impact Brady does. Hes in your face, aggressive and has tons of skill. Mercer is afraid of contact.

I like Mercer a lot and I’m hoping his game can grow and he’ll start being more aggressive. Obviously doesn’t hold the same game impact as Brady but if he could be kept that would be cool.

Friedman says he believes the Devils will be one of the teams that will be in on Brett Pesce in free agency. Not sure if that makes much sense, unless Marino is being moved out in a trade for a forward or they slide Nemec over to the left to play on his offside?

Definitely the type of player the devil's need and would help the D and good to see that Fitz isn't just going to sit and hope

People are saying pesce will be a devil on July 1st

Let's see if that happens

Also said if that happens devils have a trade in line for Marino

X Hamilton
Hughes pesce
Siegenthaler nemev

Get rid of Siegs as well. He didnt cut it at all last season, tough poop. No reason to stick with anyone that was dogpoop the yr before. Get someone else.

Fitz gotta set standards to be a Devil. No more dog poop play

Erika.. won’t be back next season. Why even watch anymore 😭. What a sham.
- MartysBetter88

There is a petition to bring Erika back lol

Graves or severson would be nice lol

Let's say the rumor is true that pesce signs with the devil's

If mercer signs a team friendly deal

I would like the devil's to look at burtuzzi and or mantha

Burtuzzi may be swung by keefe being the head coach

Adds some size in mantha who has some skill too and grit with touch in burtuzzi

Sounds like if they keep the pick they’re drafting Dickinson

Seravalli says there's a belief out there that the Devils have dangled the #10 pick to the Canes for Marty Necas.

Saw that just not sure it is the best way as I think he wants 7+ a year from what some are saying and while good offensively he isn't great defensively

Think would make it harder to bring in a good defender like peace

And how will the cap work in a couple years with
Hughes x2
Nico
Bratt
Hamilton
Meter

All making a good amount

It would definitely help top 6 but will it help overall if it takes away from other areas of need

If we could someone get necas and pesce on good contracts

Necas Hughes bratt
Palat nico meier
Haula mercer holtz
4th line

Feels like I am missing someone?

Hamilton nemec
Hughes pesce
Siegenthaler Marino

I know there's going to be changes but not bad

Is Suter worth a minimum contract for the bottom pair or is he dogpoop?

I wouldn’t sign him just in the fact that him and parise almost signed here and then they changed their minds

The big rumor now is Carolina sending Necas in a package to the Blue Jackets for the #4 pick. That would be wild.

I'm expecting none of the talk to come to fruition and everybody holds their picks, no big trades are made lol. On Sunday or Monday Friedman said he was expecting this week to be bananas crazy, and nothing has happened lol.

Also, not draft related, but Dreger said today that he had an NHL exec tell him that 75-90% of the top free agents already know where they're going.
