That is a very impressive d-core for New Jersey.

And they have Hughes, Bratt, Marchessault, Hischier, Mercer, etc up front.
This is a legit stanley cup contender. Good for them
If we can land Roy (or another solid defense first RD) and rebuild the 4th line, I'll call it a win. Stamkos would be a bonus. 3 solid defense pairs and a 4th line that can defend and hopefully has some speed and toughness combined with (hopefully) a relatively healthy year for the kids should be a decent boost in the standings.

He turns 35 midway through year one, and has been eating pucks for years now. It would be a gamble asking him to hold up for another 3-4 years, giving him six is just absurd.

Another right-shot forward target might be available. He is more of a center, though.

It's tough sledding for this team in free agency due to tax, small market, poor recent teams, etc.
However, they've managed to sign some pretty decent players since Verbeek took over
Go ahead and be the negative guy, but i have hopes still

We've had good UFA signings in each of the last two off seasons under Verbeek. I likewise don't see a reason to be all doom and gloom, 90 minutes ahead of free agency. Let's see what happens

Pinto would be interesting pick up… I think he plays a pv style game and a right shot…. But man are we going to have issues when all these young guys start performing

Need to sign someone who can competently eat minutes at RHD. I can't stand watching Fowler cruise around out there for 25 minutes a night again.

A reliable 2nd pairing defenceman and a reliable 2nd line right hand shot forward is all I want by the time training camp starts.
If we can't get regular scoring out of a top 9 that contains Carlsson/Zegras/Terry/McT/Gauthier/Strome/Vatrano/Killorn/New Forward then we have more problems then I thought.
If anything I'd be more aggressive on defence, as we have the potential among our forwards and getting much better on the backend would result in greater improvement.

unfortunately you can't get NHL network on Hulu Live. Got sick of paying for satellite so don't have NHL network anymore.
