Are the Devils two realistic moves away from serious contention

At least 10 teams would beat that offer for Vejmelka

He is one of only a couple of goalies who would have very high value

I'll say

No but targeting Meier would probably be smart.

They have very minimal playoff experience on their roster

Their stars have limited playoff experience but there’s plenty on the roster in Palat, Hamilton, Tatar, Haula, Smith, and Marino.

Nico, Bratt, Graves, Meier, and Wood all played playoff games in their career too.

Which 10 and what are they offering

I initially had Mukhamadulin in the trade but it felt like a lot for a goalie with such limited ice and such extreme volatility. To wit, despite saving 7 goals above expected this year, he’s still a career -13 below expected
