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

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Trevor Zegras
Brian Dumoulin


Simon Nemec

I think Zegras would be a great fit in NJ. He's best as a C, and I think he could unlock some depth scoring down the lineup when Hughes comes back, and push Haula to 4C where he belongs. He'd also be a guy who can boost our 2nd PP unit, and could fill in as a top 2C in the seemingly likely scenario where one of Hughes or Hischier are injured.

Palat - Hughes - Bratt
Noesen - Hischier - Mercer
Cotter - Zegras - Meier
Bastian - Haula - Tatar

Dumoulin would be a nice replacement for Siegenthaler and give us some veteran depth on LD. He'd probably push Dillon to 7th D when Siegs comes back.

Luke - Hamilton
Siegenthaler - Pesce
Dumoulin - Kovacevic
Dillon - Casey

Could be wrong but a Zegras - Nemec deal seems more like a one for one.

I think with age and contracts, you have to give the edge to Nemec, but the difference might not he Dumoulin, so Devils may need to add.

Depends on the cost . Is he a rental or under contact / control ? I’d pay a lot if he isn’t a rental.

3 yrs x $7.1M left
24 yr old rhs C

Do we more small cool dangling shootout players? I dont.

We need someone who can create offense, and Zegras can do that. Don't let his counting stats in Anaheim fool you.
