Not worried about that goal, they have a good PP and we’re not gonna kill every penalty we take, Smith is horrible though and really needs to sit.

Just play the counter in the 3rd, they give up odd man rushes every other shift, we’ll bury them

Well I would argue both points. Who says that Boeser or Garland wouldn't have worked here? Also, as was mentioned the last game where everyone was so thankful that Gaudreau didn't end up here through some sort of Fitz-magic when the fact was that he put out the best offer at the time and may have upped it if he actually got a call back. Also, maybe he would have worked out here too.

Who knows what would have happened. Should Fitz be criticized for getting an old, fragile Palat for the next 5 years? (just kidding but he is hurt) Johnson? Tatar?

We know that Marino worked out, that's one definitely in the win column but moves that don't happen shouldn't count.
My first point is that Boeser or Garland would have cost the Devils Simon Nemec-plus more. JT Miller would have cost even more than Boeser or Garland. Johnsson and Tatar -- combined -- cost the Devils Joey Anderson.

My more important point is that the Devils needed to shore up the blueline more than they needed a top 6 forward. John Marino over Ty Smith has been a stratospheric upgrade.
