Devils discussion (news, notes and speculation) - offseason part II

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

sounds like Arvidsson is hitting UFA. I know he is smaller, but he plays with sandpaper

wasn't he the guy that Jack yelled "people pay to watch me play" at? It was all downhill after that lmao

He'd be an excellent get as well. I want the bottom 6 sprinkled with assholes who can actually play.

Colton gives me pause. He took a step back on a loaded Avs team and just seemed very mediocre away from his Lightning brethren.

I'm not not interested though.

I would sign him and put him on Jack's wing.

Deb looking for a hair brush

holy lol. spit my drink out

That's what I want to do with Ross Colton, tbh. Colton could take the faceoffs too

He would be in our top 6 more than likely and I think would be a great target for a short-term deal.

 

[MadDevil]

People on twitter are clamoring for Zadarov. Whichever GM gives him the 5x6.5 he's gonna want is going to be very sorry in 2 years

Yeah, he and Dakota Joshua (who I also see mentioned a lot) scare me as guys who could get overpaid for what they actually are.

17 goals, 40 points last year. 13.5 minutes a night

16 / 32 the year before, just under 12 minutes a night.

Most common linemates were miles wood and Logan O'Connor. I think he was still him

 

[bossram]

i just saw on that main boards that mikheyev is likely to get waived/dealt. i don't know much about him, but he seems like a big boy who can carve out a nice spot on someone's bottom 6, but is also injury prone.

Absolutely no reason to acquire him at the full cap hit.

I don't really know by what measure you'd consider he took a "step back".

He produced pretty efficiently given the low TOI and functionally no PP time. The Wood-Colton-LOC line was actually one of the most effective in the league.

Joshua is actually good though. I mean everybody sucks if they’re overpaid, but I haven’t seen a bunch of numbers thrown around that are psychotic for him (unlike Z)

I am legally required to disclose I am president of the Dakota Joshua fan club though.

Got the goalie, got the coach, go get Brady Tkachuk.

 

[SKNJD9]

Got the goalie, got the coach, go get Brady Tkachuk.

A yr too early on Ottawas side..theyre gonna make a run at being competitive this yr ( hence their heavy interest in ullmark ) if they suck again Brady will want out before his NMC kicks in July 1st 2025

wonder if something around Holtz and Colton could work

 

[Forge]

Wouldn't even bat an eyelash at doing that if they were interested.

Not sure what their goalie situation looks like, particularly for prospects, but would definitely send Schmid / Daws with pick if they wanted a goalie

 

[Lou Bloom]

I think Colton would be a great target assuming the price is reasonable. You get him for his prime years (28-30) on a 3x$4M contract, He's produced 39 and 32 points on the Lightning despite playing a bottom 6 role, limited PP time and playing under 13mins a game and in his one year with Colorado he put up 40 points while playing a 3rd line role with under 14mins of playing time and only PP 2 opportunity. He seems like a great fit to play next to Hughes since he can be the primary faceoff guy and provide some physicality to that line.

 

[MasterofGrond]

I like Colton, he produces but he doesn’t have incredible defensive results. Might be less of an issue if he’s with Jack (possession) or centering palat (defense) though.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I think I would just stick Colton with Jack and Bratt just to see what happens. Maybe he could be like a Sam Bennett type.

 

[HBK27]

Probably not a bad basis for a trade, but damn do I want Holtz to succeed with the Devils after seeing him dragged through the mud so much on these boards.

 

[Billdo]

Thought this was interesting considering some of the more "name brand" teams behind us in revenue.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Less talk about skaters and more talk about how we force Genucel to demand Erika be brought back

 

[forceten]

Wait are we suddenly one of the marquee teams in the league?

 

[Billdo]

I wonder how much of it is team related compared to revenue from The Rock but being 6th in the ahead of Boston, Pitt, Chicago, Detroit, etc is certainly interesting. I know Detroit, Chicago, and Pitt have their issues but being ahead of the golden children was surprising.

 

[glenwo2]

Huh? Did they do something? I thought she's the one who wanted to pursue something else

What they said :

Not the way it sounded in her instagram post.

In her video she shared, she said the network did not renew her contract.
