We want at least a 2023 1st for a retained Rico

We do not have a 2023 1st

NGL this kinda seems inevitable lol.

it really does

I haven't seen anything connecting NJ to Rico other than it being fan-service. And I'm pretty sure Sevo is the only guy on the roster that actually played with him, so I don't think it would uplift the team or anything.

But I do want him back.

Exactly

But who says you'll get that? If you get fixated on a first like Sharks fans got fixated on certain prospects, you'll set yourself up for disappointment. Niederreiter return was just a 2nd.

*quietly mentions Alexander Holtz 1 for 1*

Not remotely realistic sorry

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take. 🤣

Honestly know nothing about him besides his name and Devils fans are high on him

Solid winger prospect. Would quite literally be the perfect line mate for McTavish

Was known for having the best shot in the 2020 draft, with an underrated playmaking game. He doesn't have the elite upside he had in 2020 but he looks like he can easily be a top six dual threat if he's given play-driving linemates. At worst he'll be a third line PP specialist.

Then we'll take the 2024 first along with Foote and the 2023 fourth.

2024 1st would come with complicated conditions, and I don't see Fitz being willing to do it anyway. It would have to get done with players and the 2023 2nd
