@NHLfan10506

How could the Devils improve their powerplay?

It seems very dysfunctional for how much talent is in the first unit

Meier net front seems like a waste
Hughes never wants to pass
Bratt never wants to shoot

What the rangers did to help fix there after getting Kane and Tara was spilt up the units into two equal groups. Not make it front heavy. Could be totally wrong tho.

If we do anything, I would try moving Bratt to PP2 since their struggles seem to be o-zone entry. Otherwise would be patient with it.

PP1:
Hughes…..Hischier…..Meier
…………………Palat……………
……………Hamilton…………

PP2:
Tatar……Wood……..Bratt
…………..Mercer………….
………….Severson………

Gritsyuk’s contract is up at end of this season (May 2023).

I say sign him to his ELC this summer, loan him back to Avangard for 1-year. We already lost Orlov to 4-year extension (CAR had similar with Nikishin). Don’t want same to happen here.

Let’s go Fitzy

Wood shouldnt be anywhere near a powerplay, i think i'd rather see someone like Boqvist or Sharangovich get a shot then watch another second of Wood doing whatever it is he's been doing

Net front spot. Wouldn’t be handling the puck much. Job is a screening goalie, tipping pucks, cleaning up rebounds, and retrieving pucks in corners. Makes little sense to put Boqvist or Sharangovich there. Boqvist is better with his legs moving. Sharangovich needs space to dial up his shot. Neither are great with their legs planted.

Yeah i dont care, still better than Wood, if you just want a pylon in front of the net then just put Bastian in there.

Wood hasn’t been as bad as people say. He hasn’t been great, but difference has really been lack of breakaway chances since his legs / conditioning aren’t fully back.

But Bastian could work too. Nolan Foote is also good for that role.

Lol legs and conditioning arent fully back lol hes played how many games this season? How long do you think it would take for him to get that back?

Im sorry that wasnt rhetorical. Face it Wood has just never been that good of a player, he gets by as a character guy but ultimately when hes gone we will be better because more times than not he just drags this team down. Bastian is the only one on that 4th line (Lazar excluded because its only been 2 games) that has been pulling his weight. I hope we upgrade at those positions this offseason otherwise it'll just be more of the same from them

Not sure what you are expecting from fourth liners. But our 3 (or 4 if you including Lazar) are better than most. They may not put up points, but that’s not their job. They are there to keep the puck out of our end, put pressure opposing dmen, and by that benchmark, they have been successful this year.

As for Woods legs, he took a year off last year. Trainers will often say it takes an equal amount of time to get back to full fitness.

Patrick Moynihan hit on Case McCarthy. McCarthy was taken off on a stretcher.

Providence lost the game and season is likely over. Which means if Moynihan were to sign, it would come after this. Was a clean hit on a friend. Bittersweet signing if there is one.

I hate how Ruff switches the lines so often and the 11/7 combo isn't smart

Imo the Devils need to find functional lines before the playoffs

These are the players in the top 9: Hughes, Hischier, Bratt, Meier, Palat, Mercer, Tatar, Haula, Sharangovich/Boqvist

My lines would be
Bratt-Hughes-Mercer
Tatar-Hischier-Meier
Sharangovich/Boqvist-Haula-Palat
Wood-McLeod-Bastian (Boqvist/Sharangovich until Bastian is healthy)

I don’t know what I just watched.

That was one of the worst games I have seen them play all year. No one seemed able to complete a pass. There were numerous ugly giveaways. Smith seemed to be unable to stop the puck. Were some unwise hit attempts. Also a few missed calls (interference on Meier, blatant trip/slew foot on Mercer). All thing was a mess from the start.

That was embarrassing for a team that just clinched a playoff spot.

Luke can't come soon enough
