Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2023 offseason part II

[TheNeutralZone]

Boqvist isn't going to be that cheap.

I think he gets around what Bastian and McLeod got in AAV.

Which isn't cheap. That's expensive 4th line territory. (Putting aside things like Toronto and NYI paying 4th liners 3rd line prices.) I would much rather have Foote on an ELC than Boqvist being paid twice as much, especially given Boqvist did not have a well-defined role on the team. Give me someone younger who brings more physical play for that role.

I would think less honestly.

I think it's likely Boqvist is around $1M.

Sad about JBo since he’s got the ideal speed for the bottom-6. Must have some confidence in Foote or Thompson to let him go. Can’t imagine he’d cost any more than $1M

He makes a lot of sense for teams like TBL, COL, BOS, etc

It’s Nolan’s time to shine, baby.

Rolling with Holtz as our third line winger is not the best. Would love to have someone like Sprong in that spot.

 

[MB3]

how expensive is a Henrique reunion at 50% retained? 2nd round pick? 3rd? Meh prospect?

Don't hate the idea of Rico rounding out the top-9. Guy who can play up and down the lineup at will.

 

[My3Sons]

NJ still needs a third line RW and fourth line LW if I’m reading everything correctly? I guess the current plan is Foote and Holtz?

Always PTOs and cheaper vets

Jack was with some of his buddies at the Osprey in Manasquan last night. My bro DJ’s there…said they were all cool dudes

Between rotating some combination of Foote/McLeod/Bastian/Lazar, they should be set on the 4th line.

3rd line RW is a concern. It’s Holtz or Clarke right now, certainly a questionable position to be in.

 

[MasterofGrond]

I wouldn’t mind some winger depth if we’re not changing goalies but I’m pretty happy with the team as is.

Is that Ty Smith? lol

Nah, you can see the lettuce tucked back in the hat

Definitely looks like Ty. It’s also Zegras, Turcotte, Beniers, Jack and Luke (obviously).

6 years for Wood?

That’s not going to sink this team. Likely it’s kept open to see if anyone claims it, if not it’s addressed at the deadline.

We need to find an Alex Killorn type RW.

 

[HughesCorporation]

Unfortunately I don’t think I can link to Instagram stories. Just checked again and it’s still on his profile!

Looks that way.
