Someone needs to take away Grandpa Nill's keys if he's even considered that.

Devils fan here, curious what Stars fans thoughts would be about a deal centered around Marchment for Hamilton in the off-season.
Long story short given the makeup of our defense and impending payday for Hughes, it may be smart for the Devils to move on from Hamilton this summer.
I’m not going to pretend to know Stars future cap situation or prospect pool, but it feels like RHD has been a need at the NHL level for a while. On top of that, they’re one of the few teams I could see Hamilton waiving an NMC for. With the abundance of forward talent, I’m curious to see if there’s any logic in opening a spot by moving Marchment and getting a RHD in the process.

prob fits well. Cap wise it would be tough bc we gave out too many contracts this offseason to middling to bad dmen.

If Dumba was making 1.5-2 million, he would’ve been the perfect throw-in to this deal too for the Devils to carry as a 7th D. Not at that AAV though.

This was amazing. Makes me feel bad for ragging on him so much in the playoffs. Excited to see what happens this year.

Should’ve drafted Makar
Remember, Jim Nill is a class act. He's not going to do a trade before Christmas.
I kind of figured that since he is playing the call up game like last year to get more cap space. Makes me think there is no trade for a while. But could also mean he will get someone big or multiple guys on decent sized contracts.
Just would like to see a trade though.
Its an unwritten rule, any GM making a trade this time of year is breaking a long standing code

Good point. We will want Andersson after he’s done tearing it up for Sweden

If I were Nill I would tell Dumba, “ Look, we will pay you, but we want you to go away for the rest of your contract”

Take your time to heal up Mattew maybe on one of those cruise ships that is at sea for 2 years for example.

I feel like waiting till after 4 nations for a trade would be a mistake. I've never understood why teams wait so late to make a trade or change (outside of cap reasons)
Feels like early January nearing the half way point iof 41 games perfect. Give the impact player(s) time to build chemistry, get the team some improved player and maintain a better spot in the standings.
