It is beautiful to see basically the entirety of the board come to together and agree on something
Take this time to rest your thumbs and brain and come back with scorching hot takes, the board will try to forge a path forward in your absence.I have to go for an MRI soon so the morning should be clear
I give you access to my calendar so you know the best times when I'm not here... maybe you can publish it and it gets it stickied?Good luck, and we will be able to get some work done.....in the meantime.
All the Mercer talk. I have a question one I currently don’t have an opinion on.
If both team agreed would you do it?
Mercer for Zegras

After actual signings of Peshe and Dillon im not worry about defense at all. I think Luke and Simon are potentially great to elite, Silyaev should develop into the great defensive defenseman at least, he has very good transitional potential too. I think Casey is NHLer, I think at least one defenseman from Misyul-Vilen-Orlov-Karpovich group has real potential to be NHLer, and I think there are more nhlers in this group. So now they should just develop their game naturally. All four are good to very good skaters, some of them are having two way potential, all of them, even on different levels, are good or very good in D zone for their level and stage. May be we have even more than just third pair defenseman there.
It should help to have so much talented defensive line for all this years. I think Devils are already Cup contender, may be not top 4 but top 6-8 team. Because we have 6 players who would play top 4 role for the majority of teams.
And in the middle of it all, we had a member re-branding with Mr. Palot. Times are getting exciting again.
I figure the Tatar top 6 debate would be a much hotter topic than the mercer one. Although they could be very much intertwined this season.
The actual games shoukd make all this obvious. Guys will play themselves into or out of the roles they are assigned and I’m guesssing thr lineup will be pretty fluid for thr first month or so while the new staff figures it out. Hopefully enough guys get out of thr gate with success that there is actual competition for spots.I don’t even think there’s an actual debate on Mercer as being in the top 6. It’s more just most people saying Mercer played himself out of the top 6 with godawful play and one person saying that no matter what he belongs in the top 6. I imagine most would agree you start Mercer in the top 6 this year. The “debate” would be more Tatar/Palat as the 6th guy. That one I don’t even see how you could have a real debate at this point. They feel interchangeable.
Don't like Zegras contract in the slightest for an RFA value.All the Mercer talk. I have a question one I currently don’t have an opinion on.

No, I wouldn't do it personally. Might just be me, but I think Zegras is somewhat overrated. No doubt he’s talented, but I don’t know that he gives us what we need.
I feel strongly that Mercer has the ability to provide a much stronger and more complete game, and I hope Keefe can unlock that.

Can I ask why there is a faction of the Devils fanbase that is obsessed with acquiring Brady Tkachuk? Just read on twitter that we should trade Nemec, Gritsyuk and two 1sts for him? Why do some people think this guy is some top 5 player?
Basically every fan associates Brady with his brother and thinks he's on a similar level to Matthew.Can I ask why there is a faction of the Devils fanbase that is obsessed with acquiring Brady Tkachuk?

Same here, thought we might be middle of the pack when it comes to the odds to win the cup.i'm pretty confident we'll make the playoffs, but i'm very surprised to see our cup odds so high. i'm guessing it's mostly due to traditional favorites falling, along with our team making some key improvements from last year?
