same goaltending tandem and no outside addition to the top 6, see you guys at the draft lottery.

If Bratt will take $6.5mill per season you sign him for 8 seasons.

+ Holtz, —Zacha
+ Garland, —Tatar
+ Marchment, —Johnsson

That would be a pretty good upgrade to wingers

Garland has one less point at 5v5 than Miller, he's just getting basically no quality PP time. They aren't selling low on him.

I get the distinct feeling that eastern fans don't watch a lot Canuck games....

The reason he's taking 6.5 mil is because the Devils are caving on the years.

That’s a lowball offer for Garland. Canucks decline

Holtz still has to prove himself in the NHL, no gaurantees there. Agreed the other two are upgrades but we all thought Tatar was a great move, who's to say Garland doesn't come here and be underwhelming too? I think you need to make a big push for a Gaudreau/Forsberg/Fiala/Burakovsky/Nichushkin/Palat/Trochek/Rakell/Niederreiter/Smith/Pavelski/Boeser/Debrincat/Laine/etc.

Devils still lack shooters, and the powerplay is pathetic as we know.

I think our needs for a Nichuskin, Pavelski, Hornqvist interior shooter are greater than a Gaudreau or Fiala (as much as I would love either of those guys).

I am excited for Holtz. Garland I think because I think his defensive attributes are underrated. I don’t think Marchment gets to market.

yup
