Basically rumor mongering to get viewers, but its better than what Woj did for the NBA draft where he lied about knowing the order and had people bet thousands on his words only to lose that money when a different guy went first overall.

Thank God, now everyone can shut up about Tkachuk
At the same time, I think the "all in on Tkachuk" optic is a must if they're still pushing hard for Johnny to stay.

Like, they wouldn't come out and say they're entertaining offers on Tkachuk. The vibes there - at least until Johnny makes his decision - have to be keeping the group together, focused on winning, etc.
 
The issue is all those other additions are meaningless if Oettinger falters and that’s certainly possible. Yes he has a good pedigree but at the end of the day he’s a young pretty unproven goalie that could blow up next year. I just would not accept the risk of giving up an unprotected 1st+ for that.



I mean having both Dougie and Fox is FAR from an issue. Sure it’s expensive but they’re worth it.

I agree but only because of the insane talent available at the top of the 2023 draft. If the class was like last year or even this year I would probably say do it.

It’s just that hard to find good goaltenders, and one that’s that young and good is worth the risk in my mind.

I think if they were actually entertaining offers on Tkachuk then that’d already mean they know Johnny is gone

I would love to find out all of the smoke around the Devils dealing the 2OA is because Fitz is obnoxiously calling GMs with lowball offers. “Hey Ken, we’ll trade ya the 2OA for McDavid. No? How about Draisaitl?” *dials next number* “Hey Joe, we’ll trade ya the 2OA for Makar. No? How about Mackinnon? No? Rantanen?”
