Next full time GM will be grateful for the organizational depth they will inherit. That’s why I laugh at the crazy few on here who insist we were in a better place in 2015. A rebuild was desperately needed from 2013-2015. Those two years of not blowing it up really made this process so much longer.Lets play the what if game.
Lets say Simmonds get Juolevi, Vatanen get Korczac + Pits 2nd 2020
NJ drafts Rossi, Sanderson and Quinn in the 1st and Hirvonen in the 2nd
Defense (Age on Sep 15) : (turn pro)
Sanderson (18) : (21/22)
Smith (20) : (20/21)
Walsh (21) : (20/21)
Bahl (20) : (20/21)
Korczac (19) : (21/22)
Misyul (19) : (22/23)
Okhotyuk (19) : (20/21)
Juolevi (22) : (Pro)
Vukojevic (19) : (21/22)
McCarthy (19) : (22/23)
Forward (Age on Sep 15) : (turn Pro)
Hughes (19) : (pro)
Hischier (21) : (pro)
Rossi (19) : (20/21)
Quinn (19) : (22/23)
Foote (19) : (20/21)
Bratt (22) : (pro)
Boqvist (22) : (pro)
Anderson (22) : (pro)
Mcleod (22) : (pro)
Merkley (22) : (pro)
Thompson (21) : (20/21)
Gritsyuk (19) : (22/23)
Pasic (19) : (21/22)
Clarke (19) : (21/22)
Talvitie (21) : (20/21)
Zetterlund (21) : (pro)
Bastian (22) : (pro)
Hirvonen (19) : (22/23)
Schnarr (21) : (pro)
Moynihan (19) : (22/23)
Pakkila (21) : (21/22)
Maltsev (22) : (pro)
Hoelsher (20) : (20/21)
Does this not seem like the 50 contract limit is going to be an issue in 3 years? Also, the next GM (Fitzmagic or not) would have to be an idiot to mess up this team, especially if Blackwood stays at this level or better.

Which likely means Fitzgerald (or the next GM) will likely be wheeling and dealing this off-season trying to address the defense.
We have too many prospects and not enough places to play them. It's already an issue in Binghamton today and a lot of these guys (forwards in particular) are on the first or second years of the ELCs.
Is this morning’s game Graeme Clarke’s first one back?
another assistAssist on the second goal. Bahl too.
DEVILS PROSPECTS!! EVERYWHERE!!
we should take a punt on austen keating, idk why no one wants him
any other undrafted guys then, who are worth lookin at?honestly, his numbers aren’t that good when you factor in his age. Look at what Tye Felhaber has done so far this season as a comparison.
I base this on just his numbers and not the few times over seen him play. I wasn’t really watching him when watching Ottawa.
Hard to argue that Hoelscher’s numbers are inflated because of Quinn or Rossi’s numbers because of Clarke if we have all of them.Wow future Devils Rossi and Quinn also on the board
