As I said, maybe a pick for Zac Jones (no one gets hurt) but that's about as far as it goes.
I’d imagine the asking would be a top 3 prospect, obviously not Demidov but one of the next best 2.
Problem is that the devils need an rhd for next year lol.
If they don’t extend Kovacevic, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sharks were in on him at free agency. He’d be a fit like he would on a lot of teams so I’d be surprised if the Devils didn’t extend him and make either Hamilton or Nemec available.
how many times have devils fans to say NO to your wet dream proposal?
How does this help the Devils and their logjam on the right side? They already have Hamilton, Pesce and Kovacevic there, and that is the reason why Nemec hasn't played there. They need a center or a winger who can score.
i would do it.
the devils don't trade nemec for futures.
if we had a need for rhd, nemec would play in the nhl in there was no thread.
Nemec hasn't fallen much at all which is why 95% of this whole thread makes no sense. People are acting like Nemec is entering bust territory because he didn't make the team this year. In actuality he's a 20 year old dman who played a phenomenal rookie season. The ONLY reason he didn't make this year's roster was because he started off the season with an injury which affected his ability to play. We also are stacked on defense and we have team control over him so we sent him down. Early on in the ahl he struggled because again he was playing injured. Now that he's healed up he's tearing up the AHL. The only reason he isn't on NJ's roster is because we haven't had injuries to any players to call him up & none of our dmen have played bad enough to warrant a benching. That's all this is. People thinking his value has dropped like crazy are living under a rock. He's a 20 year old dman. He's an actual child with nhl success and ahl success. One injury doesn't derail a players value especially when they healed from the injury.
I think Fitz has many pokers in the fire. But I dint think he gives up Nemec om a Miller trade. I'm not saying they can't get hom it's just not a sound plan for NJ. He's the exact type of player needed but A. The term/age/$ does not work for NJs timeline. B. JTM apparently ain't great in the locker room (Fitz went out of his way to ACTUALLY say "no dickheads in the room". If Hamilton has any chance of being moved this summer it's dumb to move Nemec.
I think they can move Hamilton pretty easily. Just depends on what they want in return. If all they want is cap space, San Jose would take him for a pick if approved and off waivers if it came to that. Other teams on his list might want to have NJ retain or take back cap. They may pay value or give them the top six help they may be looking for but it’s not guaranteed even with him being largely worth his contract relative to his role.
July 1 his full nmc is modified to 10 teams he can be traded to
It will not be an easy task to move Hamilton with his 10 teams list. He can literally put together 10 teams that cannot afford him or just do not need him at all. I agree that retention would be needed. Hamilton at 6M is a totally different story for acquiring team, for sure.
