Ryan Carpenter is immaculate defensively

Carpenter-Goodrow-Hunt can actually play and would be a good 4th line with defined roles. They might as well try Hunt on the PK as well.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Palat at 6M is hilarious especially since Devils fans have been shitting on the Trocheck contract

 

[bbny]

Really looking forward to seeing which team ends up retaining for us.

Arizona signs Kadri 3 years 30 million

Trades him to Chicago half retained for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

Chicago retains half of the rest, trades Kadri with a $2.5M cap hit to the Rangers for an IOU

Everyone wins. Arizona gets picks. Chicago continues their record streak of phenomenal trades. Rangers get Kadri at a bargain cap hit for an IOU on a post it note.

 

[Machinehead]

We don't need to make Motte work. We're getting caught up in overpaying for a 4th liner in a dire cap situation.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Strome was legit a winger playing as a center. And everyone just pretended it was okay.

Anyway, if Kakko gets offersheeted rn wouldn’t that be bad bad news?

P.S. I wish the Rangers twitter account didn’t ban me for cursing out Ryan strome that one time

 

[Machinehead]

$6x5 for a guy whose best asset is scoring against the Rangers.

That's most Devils move I've ever seen.

 

[Circus86]

The salary cap means no Motte.

Really Ryan Reaves means no Motte if we want to be honest about it.

I always liked Reaves and what he brings. But giving Reaves the extension was a mistake. Motte is so much more valuable on the 4th line.

I don't think anyone can. Outside of Arizona and Chicago, the whole league has no cap space.

What the hell am i looking at lol

 

[Machinehead]

What the hell am i looking at lol

You're looking at shots and goals. Blue is good, red is bad.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

LOL @ Islanders and Devils both left with they dicks in their hands

and the Flyers with their thumbs up their ass lmao they could have had him easy but they f***ed it all up. I guess Deslaurieres is a good consolation

 

[Circus86]

You're looking at shots and goals. Blue is good, red is bad.

I see more red than blue.

 

[Machinehead]

I see more red than blue.

Yes. He's a 4th liner. If you're "blue" at offense, you're not a 4th liner on any team in the league.

The last two (at even strength) are defense.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I see more red than blue.

In laymans terms:

Defense: His is good

Offense: His is bad

PP: Don't use him on it.

he had a good 2019 under Gallant

 

[Machinehead]

he had a good 2019 under Gallant

I like that we're getting Gallant players so he knows not to violently misuse them. It seems like the best thing to do.

 

[Lays]

99% sure Carpenter and Reaves were linemates in Vegas. With Carrier on the LW. That 4th line was absolutely dominant

Kreider-Zibanejad-Lafreniere
Panarin-Trocheck-Kravtsov
Goodrow-Chytil-Kakko
Blais-Carpenter-Reaves

Hunt/Gauthier

 

[MrAlmost]

The salary cap means no Motte.

Really Ryan Reaves means no Motte if we want to be honest about it.

3.5 million in dead cap space means no Motte.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

3.5 million in dead cap space means no Motte.

That too.

Blais-Carpenter-Reaves

Hunt/Gauthier

Like it. Get rid of Hunt/Gauthier. Sign Motte and Reaves becomes the 13th. He will still get games

 

[duhmetreE]

I love Reaves. He brings a lot of intangibles to the squad.

He just shouldn't be playing every day. I don't mind him being around the boys and getting in here and there. Having him as a staple is the issue. He gets over used and slows down

 

[Kravtsov420]

I’m 100% confident gallant will use Blais in that second right wing spot over Kakko and definitely of Krav. Probably the UrN iT thing.

I didn't mind trading for him so much I just thought giving an even money one year extension as a "Show of confidence" last offseason was unecessary.

Should be making 1-1.2 million, not 1.75. In any event, c'est le bon

 

[MrAlmost]

With Carpenter in the middle on the 4th line the team looks much better. Too bad we couldn't get him for 2 years at that price. Hunt and Reaves go in and out depending on the game and stuff.

 

[Circus86]

If Gallant doesn't give our kids more TOI and more pp time next season I'm starting to think he's not the right coach. I love what he did last season, but he has to give our younglings a real chance.
