LINDY RUFF NEEDS VIAGRA!!
Well it was still stinky of MSG to do her dirty like that.
But the recent Markstrom news put that on the backburner indefinitely.

Speak for yourself!
As far as LDs go that could maybe be available, how do people feel about Brayden McNabb from Vegas?
Has Jeannot been spoken about in here at all yet? Obviously has been disappointing with TBL but I feel like he could fill a need in the bottom 6/hopefully replicate some of the production he had in Nashville.
Huh? Did they do something? I thought she's the one who wanted to pursue something else

i'd love to take a flier on him, but i assume TBL would want some of our juiciest prospects

In her video she shared, she said the network did not renew her contract.
Looks like McNabb has another year, so would have to be traded for? Is Vegas looking to move him?
As far as just throwing ideas out there, I like the simpler solutions in the form of UFA's. Guys we know will be available. Dillon to me sounds like such a no brainer.

It would be a trade, yes. Vegas is cap strapped, so they will likely make moves off their roster of certain guys and they already have 7 defenders signed for next year (Pietrangelo, Hanifin, Theodore, McNabb, Whitecloud, Hague and Hutton). They could be a decent trading partner.
Hague is interesting since he is only 25 but is signed for only this coming year before becoming an RFA. McNabb might fill the better void of being a 3rd pairing veteran who you have come in for a year and evaluate.
Sounds like there's more smoke about Shea Theodore being shopped than McNabb. Vegas might need to open up more cap space for either Marchessault or a forward to replace him.
Very possible but that ask would be extremely unreasonable imo. His production with TB has been pretty bad and he was a scratch on numerous occasions. Just a matter of whether they’re willing to take the L and cut bait or hold onto someone they spent premium assets on. He also only has a year left before becoming a UFA I believe. For the right price though I’d be very interested.

An extended Theodore for 10 OA works for me. Vegas probably doesn't want to make that pick so a three way trade might have to make it happen. Not sure what they are even trying to do though (get Marner?).

What does the off-ice broadcast have to do with an on-ice move? It's still a big deal to the telecast and how 'most' Devils fans watch the games.
I wonder if she’s replacing erika. she’s worked with the devils before and there’s the specific timing of this tweet..

he's a UFA after this season though, so maybe they part ways now? $5.3M is quite a bit for what he's done

Erika was ok. Not bad, not great. Seemed like a nice person and I hope she gets another gig. But I really don't care that she's not coming back. I don't care that Deb left and I just hope whoever they bring in is competent and well spoken.

I mean if you're gonna compare anyone to Chico they'll probably lose that comparison, he's a national treasure - but you don't have to dismiss the loss of one by saying at least it's not another going.
