I think HF overrates prospects big time, but the Devils are never in a million years giving up Nemec and Saliyev for Panarin. That bananas.

Uhhh really? If we're going to dangle Nemec or Saliyev we can do far better than Panarin

I would do Panarin at 50% retained for Saliyev, a conditional 3rd (2nd based on a conference championship appearance) and a dart throw like Traff.
Panarin at 50% retained is an extremely valuable asset. He’s not worth Nemec AND Saliyev, not even close, but he’s certainly worth one of them.

Devils will have 5.7M in cap space by the deadline.
Meier isn't playing with Jack, he's more well suited with Nico, so really, if we're talking top 6, this about Jack's winger. Panarin and Hall don't make sense particularly because they like having the puck on their stick and they both play almost zero defense with no physicality. So Devils need an opportunistic sniper who doesn't need many touches and can retrieve the puck along the boards. To me, that screams Palmieri.
I can imagine Fitz may be fine with Palat strapped to Jack and Bratt and look into a 3LW to get some scoring depth. Right now both Haula and Mercer are, at best, playing net neutral against their competition. But they can't generate offense - this will bite us in the ass in the playoffs.
Cotter-Lazar-Bastian w/ Tatar subbing is fine as a fourth line. Probably capable of outperforming expectations in the playoffs.
Vatrano makes a lot of sense, Duck fans seem ambivalent on moving him. Not sure who else fits that profile. I don't see a B. Tanev or a player like that generating offense. We're a good defensive team, not sure how much more we need to stack as far as defensive forwards.

Is Panarin a valuable asset at 50% retained? Absolutely. Is he worth a 2nd OA RD in Nemec? Absolutely not. Is he worth a LD in Silayev who went top 10 & is looking like an absolute unicorn of a player being a 6 foot 7 monster who skates like the wind? Absolutely not. You are misjudging the value of Panarin. To put it in perspective Nemec was going to be available to trade for Tkachuk before he signed his extension. That's the type of player you trade for. A player who will be with your core long term. These aren't just random prospects we're trading. Nemec/Silayev are one of the most coveted prospects in the entire league & if available can get almost any player in the league as long as they're available. Panarin isn't the guy you go for in this instance.
we prefer bratt with hughes and the third forward should bring a different element.
half you guys?
none. you have not found a single devils fan who supports your fantasy.
I think Palat is playing fine and I wouldn't mind keeping him.
However, the intangibles he brings, perhaps a team like Buffalo would be interrsted in swapping him for a bottom 6er. The Sabres appear like they could use veteran leadership and Palat has experience helping young players find their way in the league.
Devils could add a 2nd to offset the salary going over. Buff has 10 million in available cap space.
McLeod for Palat + a 2nd in 2025
The top six would look great on paper, but we're not building a fantasy team. We need sandpaper and ideally someone who can win face-offs in a pinch.

if your ask includes one of hischier, jack hughes, luke hughes or nemec, you offer the wrong player.

i don't care about saliyev. i just don't know what he has to do with the devils.
but as long as you don't ask again for nemec and silayev i am fine.

Islanders fans aren’t already experiencing pain? Every season outlook of “best case scenario we get shit on in the first round as an 8 seed” isn’t pain?
I think it’s dismissive when you make a proposal that doesn’t even work under the cap. At least look at it and see what might work in reality. You clearly only thought about what you what when putting this together.

I don't do think the Devils will be looking for a middle 6 winger. They likely won't be looking for a long term piece though so the top prospects shouldn't be on the table, I believe they have 3 picks in the second round and those most certainly would be.
I think Palmieri, Vatrano, Nelson or Brandon Tanev I also think they'll look for a bottom 6 center and Faksa, Evans, BJugstad or Sturm could be targets.

I agree. Would you put Brock Nelson in that same bucket? He could play C in a pinch.
Also, if Boston were thinking about move Trent Frederick is that an option? 43% in faceoffs 15th in hits, would be helpful thing in playoffs. question is what is going back the other way? Picks/ B prospects, sure. Casey no, Sil, no. Is that enough?
what 2 players do you see being bumped from our lineup with 1 from each group you have mentioned?

Bastian and Tatar for the most part, assuming Lasar comes back after Christmas. I don't think they'll be the scratch all the time though just more often than not. Unless of course they trade 1 of them as salary going back.
factually untrue
you want to zing me so bad you ignore facts
I said bread REDUCED TO 6 PER
add elc Berard = ,7
I originally had nemec elc, but take that out
yes Sil's rights have zero cap hit
BUT I ALSO SAID ADD ACCEPTABLE CAP DUMP
try not to cherry pick
