Rutger would want Casey to stay here, he can have his own little crew between Him, Casey and Luke from Michigan. They can terrorize Washington Street in Hoboken like we used to Down on Frelinghuysen Avenue
Trading 10th overall for him instead of Casey is a novel idea but... would Winnipeg want that? Resetting a solid prospect back to that of a mystery box?Rutger would want Casey to stay here, he can have his own little crew between Him, Casey and Luke from Michigan.

Akira Schmid has proven more at the NHL level than Askarov at this stage. The fact that goalies are voodoo is reason enough to explain avoiding picking one in the top 10.
It's one of the more underrated accounts on here. Probably because they don't post enough.I'm a simple man, I see @TonySoprano post and I upvote.
No doubt.This season’s for @Maine Fan , stay strong there sir!
No idea if your name is strictly for U of Maine or the state itself, but Maine is one of my favorite places on Earth. So whatever your affinity to Maine is, feeling is mutual.
I meant to reply to this the other night.I’m sure this will open up a can of worms here but watching Henrique in the final right now has reminded me how much I hate that he was traded away. A reliable homegrown fan favorite 2/3 C that scored the biggest playoff goal of the last 15 years against our biggest rival. That alone should have made him untouchable. It’s not like his play degraded, he was fantastic for this team for his entire tenure here. And looking back on it, it’s kind of gross that so many of our fans seemed perfectly content to exchange him for a mid tier defenseman. Yes we needed to upgrade the defense but Ray should have found an alternative solution. If he couldn’t then oh well…Rico would have been a big value to this team over the last few years and certainly now judging by how many people recognize he’s someone we should target to bring back. Just a real shame. Shero sucked.
Again I doubt we are. But I honestly think we’d go 4RD in the lineup or Nemec out of the lineup before getting rid of Marino. I think they really like MarinoIf we aren’t truly in on Pesce? No chance he gets moved. If we truly are interested though where would a spot for Marino be in the lineup?
I really like Seamus Casey however, Winnipeg has a large need for right handed defenceman and a Casey package might be enough to get Rutger without giving up the 10th overall pick.
Marino + in a trade for Rutger is also an option
Id sooner look to moving Casey+ for McGroarty because our right side is just as clogged and Im not sure paying Pesce is wise when we will need to pay Luke and Simon
Plus, I know Casey is good, but Im not a fan of his size for a player whod be behind Dougie Luke and Simon for the PP
Though odds are we keep Casey
I would consider 10th overall for Mcgroarty. One of the best college players last year and could play next year.

He'll play both, but he's a left shot. He usually played Right Wing on nights when Brindley had to play Center, I'm pretty sure. Still mostly played LW I think.McGroarty is a RW, right? We're more than fine there. If we're trading value for anything, it's gotta be a 3C or LD.
I don't think we knew Blackwood would be what he turned out to be. The year we drafted Holtz instead of Askarov, Blackwood was 22-14-8 and a .915 goaltender. There was chatter of him being one of the three Canadian Olympic goalies if he kept the trajectory he was on.Why didn't Fitz just draft Askarov? Is he stupid?
I think that would be a fair trade. You would get a cost controlled asset in McGroarty for 3 years, opening up more cap space for now and the future, while Mercer is due for a significant raise. Idk though, I love Mercer on the ice and off the ice. It would be really tough to see him go.would you trade Mercer for McGroarty+? Mercer and McGroarty feel a little mutually exclusive. Not that more players = bad, but it’s a weird use of assets to acquire a right wing
Agree to disagree. Only the Devils fans would say that Casey has more value than McGroarty.If it's Casey, it's 1 for 1, not Casey+. He has same, if not more value than Rutger.
What if McGroarty turns out to be something like Vesey?I think that would be a fair trade.

If McGroarty has more value than Casey it's based only on draft pedigree and size, not on actual performance to date. Casey had a more impressive season at a more important position.Agree to disagree. Only the Devils fans would say that Casey has more value than McGroarty.
