Toffoli - 2nd and older prospect
Miller - mid to late pick
Nosek - late pick if healthy
Smith - I think he stays
Tierney - Maybe 7th or FC

I wouldn’t expect a huge year if we sell since we would want everyone around next year.

Brendan Smith to VCR?
No thanks.
I don’t want him going near Quinn Hughes.

I still firmly believe we can get a 1st or 1st equivalent for Toffoli. His underlying numbers are still fantastic and he’s still a very very good player. He just plays a bit slow for jersey

I don’t think you read the part that said any team that needs PK help. Vancouver is one of many contenders that need PK help

Probably a reasonable idea to sell some assets given NJD's future, however they should start with getting rid of their coach. Wrong guy for this group.

Oh.
My bad.

I expect Toffoli to at least fetch the Lehkonen to COL deal if it’s a player deal
- 2nd RD pick
- 1st RD prospect/player. I don’t think Broberg is as valuable as Justin Barron was at the TDL as he is older and a LHD.

Also Bertuzzi got a 1st and 4th with salary retained from Boston last year, so there’s multiple ways of making this trade.

When it comes to Miller, any good 3RD will at least get a 3rd (L. Schenn) or 3rd+ (Zadorov) and while Smith may stay, he’s a rental, replaceable and can always be brought back in the offseason. I don’t have the Devils trading anyone with term. I also expect the Devils to trade some of the picks they accumulate and try to package it for an established goalie in the offseason. Nosek would be like Nyquist, except worse so a 6th/7th is his value.

Don’t think you’ll find a single NJD fan on here disagreeing with that statement

I think if they aren’t confident that they can make a run in the playoffs, they should sell and acquire future assets and use those picks and prospects acquired to really go after an established goalie in the offseason. We are injured to no bounds this season. On your second point, I do think that Ruff should be replaced, but I also admit I supported the extension. I really wanted Brunette, but he left for Nashville. Yes, the PP has gotten significantly better since Bruno was removed, but our PK fell off a cliff.

I think we can get a good return for Toffoli at $2m…I just think Fitzy would more likely plug a hole if he could. Maybe solid heavy bottom-sixer…but undervalued dman…whatever. I do t think a late 1st is as likely to help us in 2024-25.

Depends on who the team is. If they don’t have a player like that on the roster I’m not gonna take a worse return to look for something specific

I’m not saying pick someone with the 1st.

Look at what Washington did with turning Orlov into a 1st into Sandin

Or Vancouver turning Horvat into a 1st into hronek

Picks are very liquid

I think you can replace Broberg with Holloway, but Edmonton might not want to move him. Or just simply trading Toffoli to a different team and gaining an M6 FWD (of the Broberg, Holloway grade) who’s still has team control, plus a draft pick. I’m trying to stay realistic because contenders will not trade already established controllable assets or top 50 skating prospects, unless they’re getting multiple years of control.

I think the NJDs should hire Jim Benning as their GM and he'll fire Lindy Ruff.

Yep and I expect Fitz to flip any acquired first for an NHL player (preferably goalie). It just gives you so many more options and leverage in trades. Also, it doesn’t hurt to just keep the pick since Fitzy is a good drafter and keeps the pool filled

If fitz has a guy he likes. Take him, if not use the pick to go for a position of need. Either defense or goalie

Agree. If we can get a worthwhile young player, great. Otherwise a pick is liquidity…can always move it later.

(But hopefully don’t have to sell anyone)

I think I’d try and move toffoli as a pivot to a dman or goalie even if we go in this year.
