What I find amusing is people constantly cry Fitz drafts for need, complains we need centers then complains when Fitz doesn't draft that.
He would look tough on a jersey lolLet's get Matvei Shuravin and Kevin He in the 5th round, boys!

Guys like Casey and Nemec were skill/upside picks at least.I don’t think we can say “entered” since he never left.
Id like this if I could but Fitz drafted my like button over a center! LmfaoWhat I find amusing is people constantly cry Fitz drafts for need, complains we need centers then complains when Fitz doesn't draft that.
Both Pikkarainen and Traff are good picks, because they are both raw talents with good skating and upside. Traff is a bit meaner, Pikkarainen more talented. Both can blast the puck. A lot to like with these picks.I'm cool with the "add some beef" strategy; while the Devils have struggled against a lot of teams over the last decade, it's hard to ignore just how much they've had trouble with teams that can combine some size and speed...ok, fine, I don't have stats about that in front of me, but it's definitely been a vibe.
They have a really good core together with a lot of skill guys, but between today and guessing what happens starting Monday, the goal will be to surround them with guys who bring some snarl and forechecking power. Basically, they know what their core is, now it's about building around that core. Makes enough sense for me.
And yeah, it's key that they're also loading up on prospects when you consider that said core's window is open and they're undoubtedly going to be trading prospects away for NHL help over the next couple of years. Keep the pool deep, wrack up picks/players/assets (including the additional second they now have for next year), give yourself flexibility.
Well, I have to say I like Pikkarainen and Traff a lot more than Squires and Brown.Goodbye.
We could make great pick but. When we would draft more RWs?
Ustinkov?Ustinkov, Kol
and
KRUTOV!!!!
I still have hopes.
But I will not forget Fitz for two right wingers for the same position. After right wingers in the middle of the draft year ago.
I dont understand this picks after them last year.Well, I have to say I like Pikkarainen and Traff a lot more than Squires and Brown.
No that cant be it!If anything this shows that Fitz has a long term 3C coming to NJ when UFA starts.
yeah)Ustinkov?
That name is ripe for picking if he plays poorly in the NHL
