As you know I am all about DEFENSE.
My Defense includes the goalies so that is 7 Defensemen and 2 Goalies, 9 (my number) D players ready to go.
IMO we are set to go at goalie now and in 2 years, yes things change but on paper for today we are set with the Fitz plan
With, July 1, 2024, here tomorrow at NOON, less than 24 hours away, the UFA (unrestricted free agency) and RFA (restricted free agency) players OPENS and business begins officially for the NJ Devils.
I and many others say that Our beloved NJ Devils need veteran defensemen, ESPECIALLY since we traded Marino. We have terrific talented youth already in our defense but now we need to give them some help, as well as the team with Vet D players.
So Fitz's mission is to find good veteran D guys that he can acquire for the Devils.
But where is Fitz going to find veteran D that can help the Devils?
I can't answer that question but Fitz has a plan because he knows more than you and me.
I hear he is looking at Carolina Hurricanes (Brett Pesce) and Winnipeg Jets (Brenden Dillon). Signing both these guys would be AWESOME, one would be great.There are others, I am sure that could help.
BTW we could use a wing or center or both. That would be asking for a lot but at least 1.
We are on the move Devils fans, deep to the playoffs, deep into them, NOT just round 1. I said the same thing last year this time. Our goalies failed (Fitz got us new ones) our coaching failed (Fitz got rid of Ruff and Green) and our Defense failed (injuries) (no Vets) (Fitz is working on this, trust me).
Go Devils
