Welcome back Tuna, should have never left in the first place!!

I hope they find more offensive depth for the playoffs because he’ll get scratched right away.

Buy a rental winger if need be.

Fine in regular season, unplayable in April.

I guess they must think he’s better for this year than Holtz. Advanced stats absolutely loved him in his last year with the Devils…but of course he was stapled to Hischier’s line all year

 

[Based Anime Fan]

He played good with Hischier and Bratt, the room loved him, the fans loved him, the media loved him.

I can accept it at 1.8 mil

Good chance that Gritsyuk will be coming over after the KHL season is over as this is the final year of his KHL contract. He's the Devils top offensive prospect and will be 24 by the time the playoffs roll around.

Was 2nd in goals and had the highest goals per game on a very good SKA team that finished 2nd in points last season.

They replaced Holtz with Tatar? Yikes

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Honestly, Devils gonna tear shit up this year

Says the fan of the team who just traded for Reilly Smith lol. I'd take Tatar at 1.8 million over Smith @ 5 million any day of the week.

And to answer your question , you can argue Stefan Noesen will replace Holtz. Both players who won't really be in the top 6 too much and Noesen is a more rounded player than Holtz.

No, they replaced Holtz with Cotter and signed Tatar. Follow along.

Also...LOL at Trouba...comedy gold there on your team's board, your meltdown being *chef's kiss*

I'd love to have a better player. But NJ needs wingers who can play a middle-6 role. Tatar might be a good option. He knows the organisation and played well with Nico. Let's goooo ...

Unfortunately, that's also the only place Palat played well too...and he can't be moved yet. Meier also didn't gel with Hughes, but that could change at least.

If Mercer rebounds and can play some C, then the Devs might be able to get away with their current C depth. If Mercer can't do that though and there is an injury at C, the Devs are f'd. Would have preferred keeping the cap space for a 3C or utility C/W, even if a trade was needed to get it done.

Tuna is back! I was always a low-key Tatar truther. I like him. He's decent depth.

You posting something negative about the Devils just to upset NJ fans which is a violation of the ToS? Yikes.

It's a solid chunk of this dude's posts.

His advanced stats with the Habs were incredible as well.

 

[salwan]

nice. should hit 500 career points next season as well

 

[Turin]

I guess Ruff is the one who didn’t want him back last year?
