If you can get something back in return. Even if he's merely a throw in on a bigger deal.

But otherwise, might be worth it to see if he can get back on an upward trajectory.

I wouldn’t trade Mercer. Everyone is talking about improving our bottom six. Mercer would be the perfect bottom six player. Plus the kid never gets hurt.

 

[Clam Jensen]

With the way the court case is going we have to factor in Michael Mcleod coming back which is big.

Get the f*** out of here with this horseshit.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Get this nonsense outta here

Get this nonsense outta here

? Im reading through the proceedings and the way it was speculated is MUCH different than what actually occurred.

We have to learn forgiveness, giving people another chance. Beyond the fact that there's two sides to every story.

 

[Edmonton East]

We just need to find a scoring winger, a 3c, a backup goalie, find a way to free up cap space and stay healthy. An easy fix holy shit.

I'll say it again man

get this absolute BULLSHIT out of here.

The hell we do. Regardless of the potential of the World Junior Five walking without indictments, any team that takes a chance on McLeod or Carter Hart will suffer a massive PR hit. And this will be only a few months after the revelation that the Rangers and Panarin reached a settlement and NDA with a woman that he sexually assaulted.

We have to be better than our arch rivals both from a results basis and a moral one.

I'm not sure why that would be the case. He's a ufa I'm pretty sure

Nemec for Cirelli?

 

[Zippy316]

Curious to see Dougie's 10 team list that he is willing to go to (those aren't made public, right?). If the Blues are on the list, I wouldn't hate a Hamilton for Brayden Schenn 1 for 1 swap to give us a true 3C and open up room on the right side of the defense. I'd still expect other moves but could roll this hypothetically:

X-Hischier-Meier
Palat-Hughes-Bratt
Gritsyuk-Schenn-Mercer
Cotter-Haula/Glass-Noesen

Hughes-Pesce
Seigs-Kovacevic
Dillon-Nemec
Casey

Idk where that leaves things cap wise for that X spot

With zero knowledge of the Blues needs, I was spit balling that Schenn + Texier + Leddy for Hamilton + Haula would be a wash cap-wise.

Although the Leddy idea was when I assumed Dillon wasn’t likely to return.

Why didn't the face of the franchise show his face on breakup day?

That’s a way too big ask. Again, I’m glad the Devils didn’t make a move like this at the deadline.

The ask was a joke. I’m aware the Devils were in desperate need of a third line center, but that ask was an insult to Fitz.

 

[JK3]

We're not doing the World Junior f*** faces trial here, those two shitheads are not on the New Jersey Devils anymore. Go to the main board for that crap.

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

The ask was a joke. I’m aware the Devils were in desperate need of a third line center, but that ask was an insult to Fitz.

The ask was "We think we are having an aberration of a bad year and will be good again next year, but if your GM is on crack then this is what it will take"

 

[Ekiru]

Why didn't the face of the franchise show his face on breakup day?

Imagine he is deep into rehab and thats a hike for a few interviews; maybe he just didnt want to lmfao

 

[devsfan8]

Besides, we were all led to believe Dougie and Siegs were done until next season. For all we know Kovacevic and Dillon are in camp ready to go. I'm taking injury news with a grain of salt with this team.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

The ask was a joke. I’m aware the Devils were in desperate need of a third line center, but that ask was an insult to Fitz.

Is that even a legitimate source?

He was there. Was doing autographs for some people.

Headline should read, "Devils prove common sense still exists"

Oh well thats good then; did he just not interview?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Why didn't the face of the franchise show his face on breakup day?

He probably didn't think it was his place today since he was out since March, probably wanted the guy who just played a series to get the questioning. Also Jack has been pretty obvious that he hates the interviewing stuff of the game lol

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

No we don’t…even if all these jockasses walk they’re all free agents and pretty toxic, potential mistrial or not. Mistrial would be far worse than an actual not guilty verdict if you’re going to stan for these clowns based on the public evidence already available. And none have played in at least a year and a half aside from all that.

Right, the court of public opinion is different

 

[Devils731]

Jack and Luke won’t give any season breakup comments until after Quinn finishes forcing his trade here.
