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

[ndkjr70]

Do we trust Pagnotta?

When my toddler says he didn’t poop his diaper I trust that more than Pagnotta.

Im not quite sure why the Devils keep targeting these PKers seeing as I was told there is no way they can replace 2 PKers in one summer, especially when those 2 were Kevin Bahl and Brendan Smith

You understand to replace those two Nemec most likely comes out right?

Is this the ridiculous drum you’re going to be banging all offseason? Good lord. He isn’t coming out of the lineup. A non possibility.

Let me sing you a story about a guy named Jim,

Who argues in circles, likes to reel you in,

But if you give him a bourbon, and with some archerrrrrrryyyyyyy…

You’ll eat venison burgers for weeks on for free…

Then we aren't replacing two top 4 PKers it's impossible. It doesn't math.

And if you trade Marino we need 3 top 4 PKers.

I've decided I don't think Pesce is happening.

I'm not saying it can't work, but I think too many other moving pieces would have to fall into place for it to make sense. Just doesn't work, really, in the way I think most FA signings and trades do. NHL personnel management tends to follow the path of least resistance, most of the time.

If Pesce can play the left side you don't need to move any pieces...there've been whispers here he can but no concrete yes or no on that.

 

[The Grinder]

Come home Rico.

When a guy who hasn't won the Cup yet and is late in his career says money probably isn't the most important thing, you know what likely is.

The mention of a second RHD/PKer in Sean Walker makes it look like there is a more intent in my opinion. It really looks like they're looking for a replacement for someone on the right side.

 

[Darkauron]

Rico to the rangers e5

Walker, like Pesce, notably has experience playing on the left side.

Yep.

We have to grab a LD like Dillon at the very least, that would be my biggest priority right now after getting Markstom. This whole Pesce Marino stuff is insane, this shit reeks of Twitter engagement farming.

5 Free Agents Devils Can Target to Replace Bahl

Finding someone to replace Kevin Bahl should now be a priority for the New Jersey Devils as they look to improve their defense

I was joking about Kulikov the other night, but this makes me think it wouldn't be the worst thing, if he didn't come with a massive cup bump contract.

I mean if Walker and Pesce can play the left said I have to assume the Devils feel they are the better options for the left side then any of the LHD out there? Only reason I can come up with as to why possibly chase so many RHD.

Add Dillon and we are locked in.

What's his projected contract?

Kulikov didn't want to resign with us the first time... maybe now he might thinks we're closer?

Are they chasing those guys, or is it merely internet rumors?

I'd be surprised if they add a RHD. And if they do, I think that means Marino is on his way out. Just don't see them adding a RHD with the intent of playing him on his off hand.

It would be awfully strange to target two different Right handers with the intention to plug one in on the left side...

Very strange.
