People are forgetting that Dadonov will also be playing for a new contract,i think hes gonna have a descent season with us and get traded at deadline at 50%

The bright side with Dadonov is that hes garbage defensively like Drouin Anderson and Hoffman.
He's a great asset for the Bedard Race trust me.

I dunno, but I love Nemec’s game. I’m not crazy about Guhle. I think he’s an NHLer for sure, but I don’t think there’s much offensive upside there.

Derian Hatcher was a beast in Dallas; so was Scott Stevens in New Jersey. Their offense was abysmal. I know eras have changed, but I don't think any era can ignore such great physical/leader/defensive pillars on the blueline―especially in the playoffs.

Also eras can change again.
Back in 2008 or so nobody was saying that the NHL was going to move away from intimidating stay at home d men that can clear the crease.
The pendulum can easily swing back. All it takes is a minor tweak to rules, how rules are applied, equipment, or the way a few teams coach.
Think your only thinking of Late in his career Scott Stevens, His Washington and early NJ days he was quite the offensive beast. As he got older and the team needed him to play a more shutdown defenseman role his offence became really bad. He definitely did enforce a physical presence on the opposition and kept their heads on a swivel.

I'm aware of Scott Stevens' offense in Washington, but his real legacy comes from his years in New Jersey where he won three Stanley Cups as a pure defensive defenseman. That's how his style was crystalized in the collective imagination.
Great point.
I think even in the current era, such defensemen are valuable in the playoffs. Hell, our own run to the SC Finals was largely made on Price and big, tall defensemen.

With Romanov, Guhle and Xhekaj on the left side, opposing right wingers will think twice before going in the corner with them. I think Harris will have to play right side eventually.
Ah, When most non Devils fans talk about Stevens they portray him as a Goon/Headhunter when he was waaay more then that. The Closet thing to anyone like Scott Stevens now is Wilson I think and while many people hate him we all Wish we had him on our team. If the Habs draft or turn one of their prospects into that type of player then the Habs would be scary.
McIlrath and Logan Stanley went in the first round. Same with Tinordi and Morin. Big defensemen always make scouts dream.

Stevens' offense didn't even become bad, his role just changed. He stopped playing on the PP soon after coming to NJ, and he was constantly facing the best forwards and playing long minutes on the PK. Plus NJ was just a defensive system as a whole. All this taken together, plus usual decline from age, would explain the drop in numbers. I'm sure if he was playing on some bad team letting him do what he wanted, he'd have continued to produce, but his legacy wouldn't have been as great.

I'm bo Josh Anderson fan, but if we have to trade Anderson's 5.5M cap hit in order to fit Dadonov's 5M under the cap, swapping Dadonov for Anderson seems like it will definitely be a win for us tankers, just because it makes us that much smaller and softer.

Except Guhle can actually skate, like really, really well. He's a defensive beast because he can close on guys so quickly especially in the neutral zone and then just takes them out of the play taking the puck with him.
He's Romanov-like, but bigger, better with the puck, better in transition & better on the cycle.
He & Caufield aren't getting traded. It's ridiculous to think so. We'll be building around them.

I was only replying to the fact scouts generally like big defensemen. In no way do I think Guhle ends up the next Morin LMAO
Guhle is going to surprise a lot of people, I won’t be one of them because frankly I think he has top-pairing potential.
We’d be foolish to trade this kid.

I like the player. But do we need a small winger? Sure I'd move Anderson + for him if that's what they're looking for.
But why would they let him go?
To Philly: Anderson + ? (D Prospect)
To MTL: Konecny + JVR

If we can somehow add a top 5 pick
Anderson + Romanov plus something for JvR and 5 oa ? Doubt they want Petry
Wright and Slaf/Nemec/Jiricek

If Price goes on LTIR, sounds like he is, what about signing vet goalie to short term contract flipping him at deadline? Goaltending was in high demand at last trade deadline. Or take on a goalie contract for a 2nd, retain on him at deadline for another 2nd
