Should have paid him more and added at least 2 years more term if he would have bought it. Wagering he will rate a large pay increase in year 3.
He's definitely gonna get the first crack at the backup job next year
Obligatory Where Mercer extension?
There are alot of variables to nit pick from the last few seasons. Both goalies started games a bit too early in their career due to injuries and what not. Both shined at times and Both struggled at times. I think fans are a bit too harsh on Schmid for regressing this past season. He posted similar numbers that Daws did this year at the NHL level so and also was a big reason the Devils beat the Rangers in 7 games. Schmid's play from the 2022-23 was the best we have seen from a goalie I'm a Devils uniform since Blackwood his first season or two. It's a small sample size though but it's atleast a glimpse of what he can potentially be. Daws has impressed at times but I'm not sold on who the better of the 2 will be. I like Daws regardless and I'm glad he is sticking around. He has an opportunity to be our starter some day if he pans out.To me, he was the right choice between him and Schmid. He's far from a perfect goalie still, but I think he brings more poise and consistency to his game. Schmid was always just very up and down, but had the great up imaginable in the playoffs.
I'm excited to see him progress further. Big fan of his.
I think they bailed on Schmid too quickly. I've been adamant about him being a NHL goalie but organizationally someone had to go. Just not sure why they didn't give him more of a chance this season in the beginning instead of trotting out Viteks corpse for 30 whatever games.There are alot of variables to nit pick from the last few seasons.

#AllHailAkiraYou're not wrong at all, but unfortunately, the organization's hands were tied with having to move on from one of them. I think Daws had a real solid stretch of games last year before he was ridden into the dirt starting 10 out of 11 games right around when Lindy got canned. Before that, I thought he brought the most composure in net that we had seen to that point.
Schmid deserves a lot of credit for being where he is today given he jumped up here quickly from the USHL. He'll always have a special place in my heart for 2023 that's for sure.
And I’m pretty sure he actually talked to the media after being shelled, at least sometimes. As did Daws.I think they bailed on Schmid too quickly.

He was just trying to get to the hibachi place faster. Those interviews take forever with the language barrier.And I’m pretty sure he actually talked to the media after being shelled, at least sometimes. As did Daws.
The fact that Vitek ran out of the building faster than the people who were already outside really soured me on him so much. I’m almost certain players noticed this and I really think the “when we get saves we win” comment from Jack was a dig at Vitek. The fact that he was a coward and left Ruff and the skaters to answer all the questions about him every night really completely turned me against him. Even Blackwood sometimes stuck around for the heat from the media after his bad outings.
I don’t think it had anything to do with Daws. I think it was because Markstrom with only 2 more years is safer than having to extend Ullmark and sign him to a new deal for 5-6 (potentially 7) more years.This is why Markstrom was the choice over Ullmark

schmid could win every regular season game he plays against us until the end of time and i wouldn't mind. what he did against the rangers was absolutely bonkers all things considered. i haven't been so proud of one of our goalies since marty.You're not wrong at all, but unfortunately, the organization's hands were tied with having to move on from one of them.

Definitely this. Can someone from camp Daws share why they think Daws is the better of the 2? I’m not sure who will be better and I don’t feel confident the team made the right or wrong choice, so just want to hear the other sideThere are alot of variables to nit pick from the last few seasons.
