It’s it not what they had roster-wise was getting it done. Change was inevitable.
Maybe they didn’t expect the level of change that’s coming, but they couldn’t keep just trotting out the same underachieving roster, especially after being locked into multiple long term deals for 30+ players.
They’ll be fine. Maybe next year is transitory. It happens.

Pesce is a bad fit for NJ imo. Yes they need a good partner for a couple of young defenders but he doesn’t move the puck or join the rush. Seems like a bad system fit

Robinson is mostly being brought in for his PK acumen. Pesce/Skjei was the first PK pairing, with both leaving the forwards are going to need to be better.
In that case I’d say make the same pitch I was arguing for with Necas: Jarvis and Stamkos compete for 2C and 1RW.
Assuming Necas isn’t repairable at this point…
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
no, no...you misread my comment....it's not Guentzel, its the Dundon "process" that is associated with buying a car at a traditional dealer.
Play the kids, get a high draft pick next year/perhaps 2, and look for '26 and beyond as the next highly competitive window.
good move for them....TT's lack of physicality won't matter in NY and his defensive acumen will help.

Pesce has made every partner better--given Hughes' currently trajectory, if Pesce makes him better Hughes will join his brother in the Norris conversation soon.
Yes, but in this case it was a dealer trying to sell to a used car salesman.
And as soon as he had a deal locked in, he shopped that deal around to try and beat it.
I don’t think timing would have mattered here; Guentzel and his agent would still have shopped that 8x8 around and ended up elsewhere.
I'm looking at the positive. The best defenseman who will ink a new deal today is a Hurricane.
Yes. He already plays for us, but he wants to be here. No team today is signing a defenseman better than Jaccob Slavin.

huh, good move for next few years.
Devils needed a stay at home defenseman. They have Hughes and Nemec to move pucks and those two plus Dougie to provide offense.

or the player got tired of dealing with the car salesmen and went to another dealer (and got a better car). Normal people walk into dealers, get pissed and walk out....it happens everyday (well I don't...I never buy from dealers anymore)
Sorry, It's the Dundon process that sucked.....

I'm probably late but with Monahan making 2m last year....how much do we think hell get this year?
He can play c and w and could be a good get.
