It is time to trade Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and Jesper Bratt.I just don't believe that you can balance the top 6 bottom adding the physical element to the bottom 6.
Those guys in the top 6 need to be your best players on most nights those are going to the guys that get the big minutes...and if they are going to be mostly soft and easy to play against with no physical element they're just not going to match up well against certain teams.
I don't think that is a recipe for post season success. It may serve us well for the majority of the regular season but even in the regular season we'll see the problem...then in the playoffs when everyone plays like those teams we didn't matchup well against, it'll become even more glaring.
I was a little shocked by how physical the East was in these playoffs. The playoffs are always tighter and more physical but this year there seemed to be an extra bit of nastiness that I don't remember for a long time. Every series I watched I thought I couldn't imagine the Devils playing this type of game.
