Value of: John Marino

[Zman5778]

Buffalo makes a ton of sense. Lindy just had him. Would fit the mold of what we're looking for (IE, a defenseman who is actually good at defending).

Krebs could be that middle 6er that you're looking for, and he still has some upside to him. Rosen is young, but likely NHL ready and would be that speedy middle 6er. Don't think Marino gets you Kulich or Savoie.

 

[Gurglesons]

Because good teams typically improve their team even in areas of strength to get better.

Not only do we upgrade on him but we get a free asset by trading him !?? Seems like excellent asset management to me

29 year old Pesce ain't better than Marino.

Seems like Jersey realizing exactly what I've argued about Marino for years. He gets owned in front of the net and down low and they want a different skill set.

So you are finally admitting that Marino is good. Glad to see it.

My Marino sucks comments have always been in jest. I think he's an effective defenseman who is vastly overrated by the analytics models.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Then why is management focusing on upgrading RHD if he is very good?

is it bad to always want to upgrade your roster?

Your obsession with this player is REALLY weird, dude.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Hoglander for Marino is the deal that immediately comes to my mind.

Also, it's hilarious that the Devils are going to potentially trade Marino after how many Devils fans told me this guy TOTALLY ROCKS.

I don't necessarily think it's about wanting to trade Marino, they aren't trading Nemec and Hamilton isn't movable right now coming off a major injury and making 9 million.

Management seem to like Pesce better and that makes him expendable, not that he's bad.

It's weird how Jersey fans are suddenly acting like a player they said was one of the best defensive defensemen in the league can now be upgraded...

I still like Marino a lot. Yes, he struggled this past year, but basically our entire D did. He was great the year before. I hope that with a better coach/system he can bounce back, and I am not sure that I would sign Pesce if it were up to me.

However, if we could get a player like Marchment or even Colton in a trade Marino while signing a comparable player in Pesce? Sure, I think that makes a lot of sense. There aren't many of those types of forwards available as UFAs.

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

I also don't really like the idea of trading Marino but like ZBC said above if they value Pesce more and we can get a hole filled at forward by moving Marino then so be it.

Can always improve a roster regardless of who you are trading away.

Maybe they could still be interested in Johnson? Considering they just traded Bahl.

Why not just run Hamilton, Pesce and Marino down the right side?

Are the Devils more concerned with winning a Stanley Cup or trying to develop Simon Nemec?

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

We have NO desire to trade him lol. He is very good.

But if we are upgrading on him with Pesce, there is no need to keep 4.4 million of his cap when we have 3 stud young Dmen in the wings

Not so sure it's an upgrade....Hoping Pesce rumors aren't true the cost will be bad and he's not aging well according to Canes fans

Nemec played over 20 minutes a night last year and more than hold his own.

He is too good to go to the AHL.

meh, Canes fans told us the same thing about Hamilton and then he went out and put up 70 points

 

[Quinton Byfield]

He probably gets traded to the west, if I know anything about how GMs operate.

PIT and NJ, both gonna look bad when this dude refinds his career this year with Carolina.

If he goes to Seattle for tolvanen, I'm in

Wasn't he a healthy scratch fairly late in the season?

Regardless, I would still trust Marino in the playoffs and important minutes in general over Nemec. That's all that should matter to the Devils.

I don't really think that means anything? Its not unheard of for 20 year old rookies to get nights off over the course of a long season.

Travis Green is a moron.

 

[jokesondee]

I imagine the Jets would have interest. In a perfect world they would buyout Schmidt and bring in Marino. A right side of Demelo, Pionk, Marino would be solid.

 

[RANDOMH3RO]

I wouldn’t want to sell on Marino after the year he had, he fits in well with the devils when they’re on their game. But if the devils insist on going after pesce, using Marino for forward help makes sense even if I think pesce might just end up as a more expensive older version of Marino.

He was healthy scratched once by moron Travis green immediately after he took over

Chychrun swap?
