He's from Tarrytown NY (like an hour from the Devil's arena) and played as a teen in Jersey.
So it wouldn't be shocking, but who knows how credible the source is.
McGroarty would be an interesting move. Risky giving up those kind of assets for someone that hasn't played in the NHL, but if he translates an ELC player of that talent level changes the look of the F group for the next three years in a big way

Normally the winner of a trade, is the team who gets the best player... it's pretty clear who that would be in this case.
Guys who score like that in the NCAA at 20 years of age usually develop into something
He's a much better bet right now than either Minten or #23

I think more people are confused with it being NJ than it being an American team.

I wonder if New Jersey would trade Marino on the cheap to get Pesce before his NTC kicks in?

Marino would be a terrific target if he somehow shakes free.
Like the idea of McGroarty but I really hate the thought of trading our 1st again and again and again….
I’d be ready to move Robertson and another piece, but really hate missing on that 1st.
It just weakens us from using it for anything else, from a trade like Marino or drafting a player who will be a desperately needed ELC.
Hate this constant trading of 1sts and we have a pitiful number of draft picks in the top 2 over the next few years.
The cycle we are stuck in sucks.

McGroarty for our 1st+something like Minten or Robertson would be fine by me, he's more developed and higher upside.
Minten if he pans out is a good 3C but could be a 4C, it just fits the competitive life cycle of the team PLUS
Cowan, Knies, Grebyonkin, McGroarty and Nylander...you should have 4 top 6 wingers there.
RE: Marino, he seems like he'd shake free right? Hamilton, Marino and Nemec are the right shots under contract currently.

I get the hesitancy of trading a first... but it's not for a short-term rental older player. It's for a guy who was just a first, on an ELC, who you can control for a very long-time. It's like trading a first, for a first from a prior year... so I'm fine with that... plus, we'd end up with an upgrade likely on whomever we'd draft anyway.

Robertson + Liljegren for Mc Groarty and a 3rd Rd pick would be my offer, I think Jets need right handed D..I really want to keep our pick this draft but I also love Mc Groarty

Have to think One of Hamilton / Marino are dealt.
Would be funny if it was back to Carolina for Necas

I agree. I dont see Brad moving that 1st for a disgruntled college prospect. I am all for taking a flyer on him but if the 1st is moved, it should be for something that will help us today ie: top 4 defenseman.
We have enough prospects and young players that assuming he would come here, a deal could happen.
I would push for Minten and Lilly or Timmins.
Yeah, and it’s buying a couple of UFA years which could be a lot more costly if he stays healthy.
The average salary on an 88m cap is around 4-4.4mil depending on roster size.

Would this guy be the best right handed shooting D we've had in the AM/MM/WN years?
Pretty sad when you think about it.

By plenty, you could probably argue he'd be our best RD for close on a decade and a half

Overpaid Nylander, now Woll, didn’t get term on Mathews, so far Benoit and McMann are the only guys signed to fair deals. Can’t wait to see shat mistakes he makes next…….

True that, is Woll a good gamble? I don’t see why they had to offer that kind of money, and if they didn’t have to why did they? I mwan what leverage does Woll have?
