Whatever the Devils offer is based off Demko's down season. You shouldn't expect any kind of premium when the Devils take on the risk he bounces back.

This. Demko is too much of a risk until he shows that he is 100% healthy.

Leafs or virtually any contending as room for Miller's contract even at 5m...and to take that contract for 8 more years is iffy for every team, even the Canucks.

Avs should have no interest in Miller.

Demko did play really well when he was healthy

Not a lot for Miller

Toronto probably doesn’t have any interest in Miller, there’s no where to put him in the lineup. His spore in the top 6 are taken by guys they aren’t being moved, and he’d be an overpaid 3rd liner which isn’t where he should be used. Just doesn’t make sense to give up any assets for that

Chiarot + 7th

Kuzmenko might be of interest... we need somebody to score greasy goals in the playoffs and it seems like he specializes in that and the talent around wouldn't be that much of a downgrade. The return might be something in the realm of a decent prospect and a second or third

Jt Miller to the avs at 5mill for 7 years? Probably alot of picks, johansen would need to be included, your choice of Girard, or Manson... obviously not mack, rantanen, makar, Byram

Maybe:
Johansen
1st 24
2nd 25
Richie/olousson

It depends on whether or not Vancouver is eating some of his deal or not. If they are eating about half of Kuzmenko’s deal, I might offer a 1st, 2nd, Drury, and maybe Honka as well. Probably make the 2nd conditional based on offense so that it slips to a 3rd or 4th rounder if he doesn’t reach that requisite offense.

Detroit is not a trade partner for Hughes, at all. Look elsewhere.

I think a first, a conditional second and Drury would be a fair offer.

Another person panic trading a goalie to the devils. Also why are you and everyone else so scare to make trades for a goalie to LA, like come on you sheeple, its always the devils "need a goalie" like No they dont. But lets all ignore LA and their goalie Talbot. Like why are you guys so scared to make goalie trade to LA you really think Talbot is fine but oh no Vitek isnt fine for the devils so lets panic trade 10+ goalies mock trade to NJ... SO pathetic.

The Devils do need a goalie... neither one of those two is going to take you where you want and you don't have a defensive corps or a system to make up for not having top-tier goaltending

Because LA is a division rival. I promise it's not that deep.

"When he was healthy" is the problem. He needs to be that consistently.

For Demko, I’d think NJD would offer a lot…but I also think a major goalie acquisition is not one we need to make. It’s a want and not a need.

One of - Daws, Brennan, Malek, Brady
One of - (any prospect not named Nemec, Gritsyuk)
One of - 2024 1st or 2025 1st

When a fan of another team wants to see their team trade with ours…take it as a compliment. We have some good pieces. It’s no secret that Fitzy kicked the tires on a bunch of goalies this season. It’s his job, after all. No one is panicking. This is all normal.

Like omg

We just had the youngest team in almost a decade to reach second round, went from 29th in goals against to 8th in goals against (5th in goals for, 3rd in goal differential). We are returning a top-15 goalie, a top-10 goalie prospect. We have two dmen among the top-10 overall prospects in league. We have three other top-4 dmen locked up for 4+ years below $17 million, including a top-6 finisher for Norris last year and two of the best defensive dmen in league.

I am not sure I would trade our situation for anyone else’s at this point.

I admit that both of them are very good regular-season goalies but Vitek has not been a good enough playoff goalie in his sample and Schmid hasn't had a big enough sample for me to say either way. You guys are set up for success in the long term but that goaltending position is going to be a problem in the playoffs unless Vitek improves in the playoffs and/or Schmid continues how good he was in his limited sample size

I think Carolina probably had the best top-4 in the league last year. Marino and Siegenthaler are a few years younger than Slavin and Pesce…and they could certainly earn similar reputations by 2026.

Siegenthaler - Hamilton
Hughes - Marino
Bahl - Nemec (Miller)

Vanecek
Schmid
Daws

That is likely our defensive group over next 4-6 seasons. Not sure where (or how) we could improve its promise.
