Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2022-23 season thread part III

so would that mean Palat is close to being activated?

That would be my guess too. I assume he’s back in a week to 10 days

 

[Whaddagoal]

It wouldn’t surprise me if he stays with the team after clearing. This resets the flexibility clock.

Oh my! It maybe the end of the Mango era.....

 

[Saugus]

I'm hoping that getting Palat back will be a boost for the forwards, both in terms of extra scoring and the veteran presence to make them more resilient as a group.

Sometimes when a big player comes back, though, everyone else slacks a little because they expect the returning star to carry them again. I'm hoping that won't happen here with Palat. And it probably won't, Palat is not a core guy who was carrying the team before he went out. But it is a risk.

I think it would be a more pronounced effect if it was somebody like Hughes or Hischier coming back after a long injury.

We have so many defenseman its wild..

Siegenthaler, Hamilton, Marino, Bahl, Ohkotyuk, Hughes, Nemec, Mukhamadullin, Casey, Vilen, McCarthy, Edwards, Rielly

Honestly looks like one of my NHL20 sims

You forgot Leddy. Does that mean the Misyul and Zaitsev ships have sailed?

Probably not that they've sailed but that they're not really talked about much.

I don't think Palat is that type of guy, you're probably right if it were Hughes though.

My bad, was going off of memory. And wasnt Zaitsev traded to the Rangers for Grabner years back?

That was Rykov.

I think it's always tricky when you look at KHL guys. They have a very good professional league at home that pays real salaries compared to a developmental AHL gig. If a guy can walk into an NHL role I'm sure they'd listen but even next year with Graves leaving both of those guys would be tryout candidates rather than sure things. I also recall @Guadana suggesting that Misyul may not have the puck moving skills for the North American game right now. He's young enough that he can still develop as is Zaitsev.

That’s disgusting. I would hope one or two of the “extras” can fetch an actual goal scorer. Someone like Casey or Mukh could definitely entice some teams.

Mukhamadullin I'm fine moving, would not move Casey at all unless it's a blockbuster.

 

[Eggtimer]

I wish . He will pass waivers easily. But he is ok as a piece of depth. He is 100% gone after this season though .

Mukhamadullin I'm fine moving, would not move Casey at all unless it's a blockbuster.

I think we may have something special with Casey . As in a Spurgeon type player . It’s hard to know who to use as a trade piece. Shakir may turn out better than Bahl amd Okhotiuk or maybe Vilen ends up being a stud ? I’d rather wait and see what we have in them before trading but we might have that luxury if a deal pops up soon . (Meier )

Possible. But not many veterans have been getting claimed when sent down. And I'd imagine Johnsson's salary discourages most teams.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Yup. If he was a million less.

Mukhamadullin I'm fine moving, would not move Casey at all unless it's a blockbuster.

Also, most importanrly, we must move him as Dano will never be able to mange pronounciation for the forseeable future.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They might have hit the Lotto with Casey. You don't trade him unless something huge is coming back.

Chico gives Dano a run for his money in that department.

Didn't know it was that hard a name. Even worse when he butchers Tartar.

 

[Zippy316]

I do wonder if Johnsson makes it through waivers.

Seems like an ideal cap player for a bottom team that is looking to sell at the deadline. 800k salary with a 3.4 million cap hit?

 

[Xirik]

After watching a bit of the USA games at the WJC I am wondering if perhaps we could trade for Tyler Boucher. He perhaps was drafted a bit to early in the 1st round but he has gone on to have a good season so far this year. He seems to understand what his job is and where his talent lies already if you look at his play at the WJC.

We desperately need a net front presence other then Bastian and he would cost a lost less then Crouse. Ottawa really likes Big and Tall players so perhaps Bahl + Filmon? or Bahl + Filmon +?

wasnt he on waivers a month ago and no one bit? I cant see anyone taking him

 

[Emperoreddy]

He isn't getting claimed though it would be nice if he was.
