Speculation: Jack Hughes Possibly Out Long Term. Who Can Devils Bring In For Now?

[NjdevilfanJim]

It would have to be Gritsyuk or Hameenaho

We need fwds here and in Utica our prospect depth is in defenseman that's where you trade from your strength not a weakness...

There's also another team on the other end of a trade.

any move depends on if hughes can pull a kucherov/stone and be back for game 1 of the playoffs. If he can then add the pieces.

If not then i wouldnt. Team has been struggling lately with Hughes so without him its going to be problematic and there is no point in paying an expensive price if your best player wont be back in the playoffs imo.

If hughes can be back for the playoffs game 1 then get as much secondary scoring as you can since after hughes and bratt there is a drop off

Would you go nuts and add a Dylan Cozens if Jack was Kucheroved?

Not a Zegras guy but:
A) Mercer isnt exactly killing it or good with his body
B) Zegras can play C this year and move to wing next if needed
C) Zegras has had good playing driving numbers his career
