Every Rangers v Devils thread on the main board in some capacity is just baiting arguments between fanbases. Watch us get the first seed in the Metro and Carolina knocks them out round 1.

Well, it's been 60 games. We were bound to start playing good teams at some point.

They’re only good until the Devils beat them. Then they stop counting.

Deadline deals can fail because the new player can't fit in, but zero reason to worry about that here.
Who is the goalie either throwing up, having a life crisis or getting a back procedure? Lmao
Meanwhile, Nico:

Zadorov is better than Bahl, but he isn't really good positionally. He is physical, but has issues with some defensive iq. As third line defenseman he is better than what we have now, but as second pair D I prefer Graves.

Haven't seen this posted. Figured Id share
Fitz speaks on the Meier deal and possible extension, as well as the team needing depth and a 'possible goalie acquisition' (spicy). Also some fun personal questions and even his take of an earlier trade deadline.

I was thinking about this the other day as Sharangovich has had an up and down season and Devils likely may not want to sign him to his next deal.
If Anaheim offers Henrique at 50% retained (2.8 million this year and next) for Sharangovich straight up, would you do that deal?
Effectively swaps out Henrique for Sharangovich on this roster as they would play a similar role. Henrique should also be cheaper next year if there’s 50% retention.

Don’t look now, but after their 3-2 regulation loss in Vegas tonight, we’re 1 point behind the Canes.

Not really sold on Henrique given his age. Much rather try to swing a similar trade for Yakov Trenin, who's cheaper, more physical and younger which opens up the option of an extension down the line. If that's not on the table I'd rather just stand pat.

My mistake
They did
Apparently I think they’re the same player lol.
I have no idea why I would get them confused, other than they’re bottom 6 forwards that were both on Nashville and they’re the same age.

Not sure why there are a lot of media outlets and people assuming that we will play the Rags in the first round ?
We are 1 point out of first in the Metro . And the Canes are having some trouble scoring plus habe a brutal stretch of games coming up against the Leafs, Rangers, Bruins.
I think it is very realistic that we can win the Metro. We are playing excellent hockey right now and Meier has yet to play a game.
It will be very interesting to see if / what we add before the TDL.
We have seen some teams go crazy by paying tons of assets for a run . Why dont we step it up another notch and try to add another good piece ? I’d love Bertuzzi… if only he was not just a rental. Somehow id like to add an upgrade on our 3rd line but not sure who. I dont think Henrique is the right move. Too much of a cap hit and too costly if Ducks retain. Ideally I’d like to use Sharanhovich as the oiece we move out . He has value , amd we honestly dont have a roster spot for him that makes sense . He is nkt really a good fit in the bottom 6 amd no room I’m the top 6. He is too inconsistent to be a top 6 option and I,habe seen him shy away from contract too many times where he doesn’t take a hit to make a play. I love the kid but I,just,don’t see him in our future plans.
I want to see is trade for Vjmelka (MB plus small addition? ) and a player in the mold of Bertuzzi .
