Sujet: We still need a goalie before we are a legit team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Nothing reactionary at all here

1. I like Timo, but he has been a little underwhelming and has clearly disrupted team chemistry (which hopefully time can solve). So far, he has not made the team better for 2022-23. I hope as much as anyone he will for playoffs and future years.

2. Goaltending was, is, and will be the biggest impediment to NJD becoming a contender. I have been saying for a year-and-a-half. It was my preference to sit out deadline, make a move for goaltending over the summer. I love Schmid. But he is a looong way to guy like Hellebuyck (I have strong preference for goalies that can start 60 games a year).

3. It was not just one bad game. Since the back-to-back games vs TB, we are 4-7 (22nd in the league). And the last few games, they have looked a lot like the 2021-22 Devils. Giving up very soft goals in net. Team looking defeated and tired.</div></div>

"he has been a little underwhelming and clearly disrupted team chemistry"

If that's not reactionary what is?

Sujet: Trading Bedard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>I would totally move Bedard for the correct price. I honestly think it’s a genius move. How many “once in a life time” players are now “busts”. Maybe target a better player than Eklund but he could also turn out to be a Forsberg type. They have very comparable stats.

I’ll do comparable

Eklund - Forsberg
Michkov - Ovechkin /Kaprizov (better stats than Ovi)
#34oa- could be a great players as well

Bedard - Mcdavid /Crosby

Look at it like this. Would you trade

Ovechkin (pretend he’s young 18yo) Forsberg for Mcdavid

Ton of people are sleeping on Michkov. Huge mistake</div></div>

I would NOT do a young OV and Forsberg for McDavid, and thats from a WSH perspective. And no, the ONLY player who has been hyped up as much as Bedard who has ever flopped was Alexader Daigl, and thats bcuz he had no drive, we already know how motivated Bedard is so there's no worry there. Any price thats worth Bedard would be too much for the other team to give up as he is still 18 and theres a chance injuries can derail his development.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>I remember hearing the same about Gaudreau in free agency. Just sign Johnny Hockey, easy solution. Don't worry about any other team! You have to actually win the Meier sweepstakes. Playing the Devil's advocate at every level isn't an answer. Just like this lame argument of nitpicking Josh playmaking ability with 5 assists. Literally, everyone knows he's not a playmaker but continue focusing on that to build your own narrative when the pundits like Seravelli and Lebrun say otherwise. Its kinda pathetic.</div></div>

Freidman said Devils were the frontrunners for Meier

Even if we miss out on Meier, Boeser, Reinhart, JVR, Bertuzzi are all better and most likely cheaper than Anderson

Whats pathetic is tryna convince everyone that Anderson is the next Gretzky💀

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CalvinKlein</b></div><div>It would be great for the Devils to keep Holtz and offer up some of the other prospects you mentioned. The only issue is that the Devils 1st round pick this year will (thankfully) be near the bottom of the 1st round.

SJ will likely want a top prospect like Holtz, just in case the 1st they're getting, turns into the equivalent of a high 2nd round pick.</div></div>

The competing thought is Meier’s contract demands may limit the amount of bidding teams. It is VERY rare for a top-25 prospect to be dealt. Even more rare when they are dealt with a 1st and for a player without a contract (last may have been Lindros). And Holtz has 2+ years on ELC.

If Meier says, “I will sign a $7m anywhere”…Sharks will get big return. If he says, “I will sign $9m plus” or “I only want to play in these couple of cities”….not so much

Sujet: Tweaking some things after the W
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Erkadurk347</b></div><div>If you do actually watch devils game and watch every shift Boqvist and shar have had this season, and you come to that conclusion, fair. But it seems like ur just a numbers guy that doesn’t watch the game and only judges based off stats. Boqvist is an excellent penalty killer (better than shar imo) and can take draws as shar is awful at them. He’s much better defensively and clearly works a lot harder than shar. Boqvist has a lot more puck control. Boqvist creates offense but can’t do everything himself. Shar and Boqvist need to create chances when they play together but it’s sharangovich that always loses the puck and ends the offensive zone time when trying to create chances. I also don’t think it helps either of them as they have played with holtz and they will immediately play worse when they are on a line with holtz. Pair Boqvist with Tatar and haula to add some depth in the bottom six with Boqvist and I think Tatar could help Boqvist get on the board more often. That’s just my take from the naked eye as the overall team plays better with Boqvist on the ice as opposed to sharangovich</div></div>

Shar has been much better than Boq. Boq has been missing open chances like crazy lately that shar has been setting him up for. Also, shar literally has a better faceoff percentage than Boq this season. Boq has sort of just been sitting there doing nothing while shar is actually trying to create chances, which is why shar has points since late November and Boq doesn’t.

Sujet: Hey Sharks fans does this peak your interest
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJSGM</b></div><div>don't love Casey's size but I think the value is decent. What about Mukhamadullin? What's his play style and projection?</div></div>

Muchs play style is somewhat shut down/defensive defenseman but he has a helluva shot that he can rip from anywhere. I believe he was projected as a top 4, its a little hard to tell because he's loaned out for the 22/23 season so we dont get to see much of his potential in Utica. Losing either Casey or Much would hurt our prospect pool for defenseman but not as much as losing say L. Hughes or Nemec would....does that help?

As far as the trade goes im actually all for it, we dont lose Holtz and we acquire a potential 40 goal scorer. Win for both sides
