we wouldn't sign both Hamilton and Larsson

If it's all about $$$$ New Jersey and Seattle seems to two logical destinations for Hamilton

hmmmmm

I would be shocked if Devils landed Hamilton.
I think chances are very low.

But the Subban rumors make the possibility plausible.
They likely aren’t trading PK without someone else in mind for that other top-4 RD spot.
Maybe it’s Dougie.

We may try
But once one signs, the other won’t want to
Unless Severson is also traded

yea, I would be opposed to that bc Severson has way more offensive upside than Larsson

Is NJ a contender even with Dougie? Idk if this would be best for them

Well we're certainly not a contender without him especially with the current d-corps we have...

Detroit could be a dark horse too - since its closer to Toronto.

From my previous contacts, it's really not a factor. Doug will do right by him. Besides his parents have retired. Lots of time and money to travel.

Does Doug want to go the West Coast and really all that additional travel between games? Jersey in the the very cozy Metropolitan division is my thought for his destination.

Have you ever driven on the NJ turnpike? Its horrible!... I want to believe you but the luck of this franchise seems to weigh in the balance of drafting unfortunately.

Yeah overpaying Adam f…ing Larsson is good (said no one ever)

I dont think Devils fans care + he fills a desperate need and nostalgia

Eh fair enough

Also forgetting the main reasons - shut down defenseman, knows the lay of the land, top 4 easily (sorry Sevo), and knows some vets with the team!
