Gee, quite an assumption that Pasta signs an extension.

Going to need a little more for Pasta probably Holtz or Mercer + the 2nd

I don’t think you understand who Gritsyuk, he is dominating the KHL at an extremely young age that is similar to the likes of Panarin, Kaprizov, and Kucherov. Scouts and analysts are saying he is the next Kaprizov. He is a better prospect then holtz at the moment

Leaf’s fans are not welcome on my forums

Bad posts shouldn't be allowed on CapFriendly but they are.

Why on earth would Colton be available hes a 20 goal scorer making 1.2 ilo a cap strapped team making a run at at least 4 Final appearances in a row?

not nearly enough for pasta even without an extension

Bruh

He is very much not a better prospect than Holtz at the moment lmfao

Holtz has been playing very well in the AHL but has been unable to translate to the NHL unlike other Devils prospects. Plus the KHL the 2nd best league in the world. If you are dominating in that league there is a good chance you can be a solid NHL players

Its not that he's available. He grew up a Devils fan and said he'd love to play for us. We as a fanbase all hope he joins us at some point.

after winning cups and living here i doubt he'll want to leave.

A lot of players say they don't want to leave their current team, yet they do.

3 years in a row to the cup tax haven better climate, lower cost of living or higher taxes,nasty weatherhigher cost of living less chance of winning . i guess but doubt it myself

He’s played 9 games…

Gritsyuk has been unable to dominate the NHL either. He had 28 points in 39 games. Great for a 20 year old, but that’s not /dominating in that league/

Holtz just put up one of the better D+2 AHL seasons we’ve seen and is still a tier above Gritsyuk, both based on the likelihood he is a full time NHL player, and in his ceiling as a prospect. Best case scenario for Gritsyuk is what? A solid middle six winger. Best case for Holtz is a 40g top line winger with one of the best shots in the league. It’s really not close.

All I'm saying is don't count your chickens before they hatch.

He was born in New Jersey and grew up a Devils fan. A lot of players would take the opporunity to play for the team they grew up rooting for.
