A Swiss buddy for Nico?

Pete DeBoer mishandling a rookie defenseman? Hmmm....

Looks like Shero saw something he liked giving up a 2nd and a 4th.

 

[CalamityX11]

Seems like over pay no?

Unless he's good?

Devils protect 4 D, expose Camm, Merrill, Lovejoy. I like it. If Camm comes off our books we can throw stupid money around.

That would be sick if they did take him. Judging by the list, can't see who else they would want.

If that were to happen I could see them overpaying for D in free agency or be willing to take on a player like Phaneuf.

I like what the Devs did.
Vegas has some real decent choices. This draft is bad news for a lot of teams.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Again, number 1 pick, sign another guy on D, then Kovy or whatever assets he gets us, that's a decent lineup.

 

[CalamityX11]

Surprised Moore over Merrill.... but I doubt either would've get taken.

Lets hurry this up and get the draft going!!!!!!!!

i really like the mueller trade. it has all the markings to be a palm type deal. the kid didn't get any playing time and probably suffered along with debore just like larrson. i have 100% faith in shero and cranston. besides who were we going to pick with that 2nd and 4th? someone that maybe might make it to the nhl 3 years from now? last years second rounder bastian is still in juniors and wont play in the nhl this year.


i'm really hoping they take camm off this team he is just stunting the development of other kids that can be in the lineup. whats vegas reason for taking him? they need to reach the cap floor and honestly hes a trade asset next deadline he should command a 3rd round pick if he gets his act together maybe even a 2nd. merrill is the other logical choice but honestly i think there are way better d options out there for them to take.


my bet its either camm or bennett.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

We essentially traded half a season of Lee Stempniak for a 22 year old former first rounder with upside. Win win there.

 

[CalamityX11]

Good points....

4 days away!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

The Vegas GM has repeatedly stated he covers draft picks and plans on building his team through the draft. Depending on wgat defenseman they take in the expansion draft I'm curious if we can work something out? We have picks, he wants picks.

Pete DeBoer mishandling a rookie defenseman? Hmmm....

Unheard of....

 

[CalamityX11]

Stevens can do wonders for the kid and all defensemen... bring him back!

 

[CalamityX11]

Actually, the fact we haven't had any change in our staff is a bit alarming.... Not calling for Hynes but the defense was awful in both personnel and system.... that needs addressing.

yeah i really agree with this i didn't care for the assistants at all. i will give hynes a pass for last year but if this team doesn't improve this year he has to go

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Yep, if Hynes was some journeyman instead of Shero's hand-picked guy I don't think he's here any longer.

Oh well, prove us wrong Hynes.

New Jersey Devils Basically Giving Up On Alexander Kerfoot

I wish this guy was locked up but as article states we don't have a place for him. Would have been nice tradebait though.
