Good chance Guhle will play on the right side again next yearDon't see Engstrom or Reinbacher as realistic options next year so basically
left side: Guhle, Hutson, Matheson, Xhekaj, Struble, Harris
right side: Savard, Barron, Mailloux
One of Mailloux or Hutson starts in Laval just due to numbers/waivers, but even with that they still need to move a lefty.
Of course he is.This isn't the D-Men that should've been gone.
Hutson is a LD but can play on both sides. I liked Savard with Hutson in the small sample we had but Hutson with Guhle could work too.Good chance Guhle will play on the right side again next year
It's a good deal for both teams. The Devils get a decent RD who can play on the 3rd pair at a reasonable cost, and the Habs get a mid-round pick for a player that they would otherwise have probably put on waivers before the start of the season. Win / win.Very good value for the Devils. Kovacevic flies completely under the radar, but he's an ideal, low-cost bottom pairing defenseman who leaves you feeling comfortable when he's on the ice.
Not the one I would've trade. I actually liked him. GL in NJ
Not a part of our future with all the kids coming in.
Still would've traded Barron and kept him as depth. KOV is only 26
Barron has more upside.
Reinacher and Mailloux are likely our 2 top RHDs for the future. So where do you picture Barron ? On the 3rd pair ? I'd rather have a Kovacevic there than a Barron.
Traded after Reinbacher and Mailloux establish themselves. By that time, Barron will likely have established himself and garner a better return than if traded now.
Maximizing assets.
They don't play on the same sideIsn't barron known more for offense? wouldn't that be Hutsons job?
He's a big boi, right handed d who's below league min,
How could he be below the minimum?
His actual salary is exactly the current league minimum 775k (just like Woll). His AAV / Cap Hit is less than the league minimum because the cap hit is the total amount of the contract divided equally among all years of the contract, and because the minimum was lower two years ago (the first year of his three year contract), the average is 766,667 (also, just like Woll).How could he be below the minimum?
No it means Jonathan Kovacevic will sit in the press box most nightsIf Pesce is signed, does this mean the Devils are keeping Nemec in the AHL to develop to start the year?
