I mean, from your screen to gods ears. I wouldn't go as far as that, but if we have a Dylan Strome situation and he can find his game...
The real player I think Cody is replacing is McLeod. I wonder if we see him on the PK soon.
He’s got the defensive chops for it. All kidding aside if he is something of a Kate bloomer and can play at a good 3C level this trade is a huge win.

If he becomes an effective two way 3C, this trade is a massive win.

Imagine if Cody Glass becomes this deadline’s Grant Marshall
Have you not watched the last two games? He left 3C in the dust after his first period of play. I’m thinking maybe third best center ever at this point.
He's the perfect pickup to set all the pieces in place for next season.
He can move in to the 2c role and allows Nico to play in his more natural 3c spot.
They can then resign McLeod for the 4c spot.
McLeod signing frees up Haula and he can be traded for Ryan Fitzgerald. (Looked it up, apparently the team has already picked up Ryan Fitzgerald so we don't need to trade for him. Ruined the joke.)

Dude. Props for Nico at 3C but no to McLeod. He’s going to be someone else’s problem with or without an acquittal.
In this dream scenario, he freed up players so they can be traded for Ryan Fitz. That was the ultimate goal all along. We really needed to have Ryan Fitz on the Devils.

I feel Vegas has done pretty alright but Nashville has been a development graveyard.
Multiple guys leaving and blooming elsewhere Tolvanen, Fabbro, maybe Tomasino too. Parssinen on his 3rd team this year. Evangelista taking a major step backward. L'Hereux struggling and scratched (Hynes is giving him heavy defensive minutes and d-zone starts as a rookie???)
Had a friend tell me "What if he is our Sam Bennett?"

Ok, early returns, I realize, but I can say this unironically right now.
I didn't know the full return but I'm more upset about trading Graham then Stillman.
Not that I'm upset about trading Graham but you know what I spraying.

We will see if that's the case or this is another Cotter situation.
Long list of players who've played here as 4th liners after being 1st round picks - Turner Stevenson, Eric Rasmussen, Steve Bernier, Michael McLeod, and of course our general manager was a 1st round pick who had to find his game as a role player. Sometimes it can take moving organizations for a player and team to figure out how they're best deployed.
Maybe I'm still in honeymoon stage, especially given Glass has a couple points early, but I think he has a legit chance at 3c, not just 4th line.
His point rate in previous seasons is meh, but above 7 per 60 in terms of shot rate with Pitt this season and Nash last season. Shot attempt rate has been trending up ward for 4 straight years as well. A very respectable 14+ per 60 with Pitt this season and 13+ last season. Needs to work on finishing but he gets shots off. I love that in a guy who is supposedly a defensive center.
So after a night of sober reflection I realize I was off base last night about Glass. Those of you who were saying "first line center" "best center in the league" or "best NHL player since Ben Lovejoy" need to do the same thing. I realize now that we have been underselling him. This guy is the best athlete in human history.

He’s the best Glass given to this world since M Night Shyamalan unveiled his version.

This act is the act of man. Imagine if people would call their wrongness more regularly.
Glass is doing great. I still think we should find another third line center(to replace Nico) and build stronger bottom lines.
That's what a good 4th line center is. A guy who can hopefully play up on the 3rd line if there are injuries. The Devils need another center to play ahead of Glass.
I think Haula is going to be the fourth line center next season. If NJ keeps Glass it likely means he had a nice finish to the season and they are probably going to have to pay him something around his qualifying offer. At approximately $2.5 mil they can't really swing a more expensive 3C (unless you count Hischier in that role but I digress). The cap will be tight next year with a Luke extension. I know folks were hoping for less than $9 mil per, but I expect it to be closer to $10 mil per. They are still constrained for another year until they can get rid of Palat and Haula both.
