If we're trading Marino I don't really want picks unless we're using them elsewhere. A comparable LHD or middle 6 guy would be great

We're going to trade Holtz by the deadline because if we don't, he's liable to head back to Sweden on our asses once he's a RFA lol

It was rumored more than actually reported, and many here still thought it was other teams asking for Holtz and US not wanting to trade him. I've gotten that pushback when I've theorized Fitz is ripping him publicly in part cause he knows he can't trade him anyway so this is his only recourse.

I think there’s a decent chance he’s out of the league and in Sweden in a couple years regardless of what we do.

Usually not my thing versus copying & pasting The Athletic player cards, but here's what I can come up with:
this is my genuine belief as well.
for Marino trade, is there a team out there who has a glutton of left handed d that would be potentially a good fit for trade?
i don’t think i mind a Lauzon+2/3rd pick for Marino trade.

Most likely. So get something while you can. I'm not holding out hope that he'll evolve into a top 6 winger. Let that be someone else's problem.

C'mon Holtz - have a strong offseason and prove all the doubters wrong!

This is what I thought. They only use 3-seasons of data for the projections portion. At the end of the season it’s just that single season as there’s nothing left to project.
Those cards are just last season.
That’s why the current and forecasted ratings are the same. I’d imagine they are for all players.

rank the following 5 things in order of likelihood:
- Devils trade Marino tonight.
- Devils use their draft pick tonight.
- Alex Holtz develops into a solid, Toffoli-esque top-6 forward who is capable of potting 30+.
- I am able to satisfy my wife emotionally and sexually tonight (I have had 7 beers).
- A player drafted between pick 7-12 tonight plays a quality 60+ games next year.
Ah, you're right...I did not realize that. So, it would be just this past season then. Thanks for the clarification.
That downgrade in skating is not great. Do not like that, especially buying more (older) years coming off an injury. The whole thing is just weird to me.
I'd stick with Marino and hope he bounces back to 2023 form.
Pesce also had a very down year. So instead of betting on Marino, we'd be betting on an older, slower, and more expensive player.

I’m not sure 5 is realistic with his limited NHL games but if your AHL scouts are supremely confident in his future then maybe you could talk yourself into it.
I still think Nashville would have to settle for multiple smaller pieces though.

I'd be shocked if they moved him for picks. Maybe it's part of a package, but I think there's an NHL roster player coming back in any trade.
