I think we'll still add one more forward. Whether it's by trade, free agency, PTO, etc.
It's July 2nd, the offseason isn't over.

my favorite part about this is that your grading scale goes A, B, C, D, 0.Well he did get Pesce and Dillon other wise it would be a 0
They needed another piece in that area you know it and Fitz knows it. Just like last year when he knew he needed a goalie also a failureaside from Hughes, Bratt, Hischier, and Meier, the Devils have a shitty forward corps amirite
Using letters and numbers interchangeably is interesting.Well he did get Pesce and Dillon other wise it would be a 0
yes an F might have been too kindmy favorite part about this is that your grading scale goes A, B, C, D, 0.
Yes sort of like AlgebraUsing letters and numbers interchangeably is interesting.
Dillons deal is okay for two years. After that Silayev will join Devils, Fitz will decide who is better- Siegs or Dillon and will make what he should make.I’m not thrilled that we overpaid Dillon but the Kings made me feel better.
If we missed out on Dillon, and gave 4 years/3.85m to Joel Edmundson, I might have curled up and died.
He’s a defensive defenseman who sucks at defense. I wouldn’t want him on the team for four minutes.

If its 4/4,5 for four years - its good price for Mercer even if he will be 40-45 points player on the third line.Given this is Mercer's 4th year, we probably have to assume at least to start, that he bounces back to being a top 6 forward.
Still have one opening, but you can probably play Palat up though I think a 3rd line of Palat-Haula-Noesen could be a very good shut-down line that could be productive offensively as well.
Perhaps you give Foote a legit look and add a 4th liner as well to start and look to upgrade later in the year.
Getting another top 6 guy and having the 3rd line you mentioned would be awesome. Palat-Haula-Noesen looks like a very solid 3rd line imo.Given this is Mercer's 4th year, we probably have to assume at least to start, that he bounces back to being a top 6 forward.

Has anyone seen what is available in europe? I heard it is a weak year but there is an off chance at getting someone from there.
That’s my Top 6 winger!!!
I suspect we likely bridge Mercer for 2-3 years in order to keep his cap hit down. I think you either go 2-3 years to 6-8 years.If its 4/4,5 for four years - its good price for Mercer even if he will be 40-45 points player on the third line.
I see different directions. But people should slow down expectations about his trade. We dont have a lot of offensive prospects. Gritsyuk and may be Lenny looks like NHLers now.I suspect we likely bridge Mercer for 2-3 years in order to keep his cap hit down. I think you either go 2-3 years to 6-8 years.
Though we will likely need to find some savings on the cap which is why I think he gets a bridge.
