Sujet: Does Shero Move 34th Pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wingert41326</b></div><div>Do you see him packaging the 34th and another pick/prospect or roster player for an impact player on a cap strapped team?</div></div>

Ha, I mean anything is possible, but Devils fans tend to over-value their prospects – the cupboard is pretty bare. I wouldn't mind making every single pick this weekend to be honest.

The good thing is that we have so many young players already on the NHL roster or fighting for the last spots like Quenville / McLeod / Bastian / Anderson, etc., but past that fringe NHL player there's not a whole lot there.

Shero also doesn't do as well as people think he does when he gives picks and receives players. He hit a home run with Kyle Palmieri, but beyond that the list is shakey:

Patrick Maroon for a 3rd – not bad.

Michael Grabner for a 2nd – terrible.

Marcus Johansson for a 2nd &amp; 3rd – injuries kinda ruined that one.

Mirco Mueller for a 2nd &amp; 4th – terrible.

Beau Bennet for a 3rd – bad.

That's a lot of picks that could be prospects in our organization right now.

Anything can happen though!

Sujet: Marner Offersheet NSH VGK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>While there might be a gentlemen's agreement regarding offer sheets, you have demostrated why so few are presented or signed. Likely a non playoff team is the only team with cap and do they want to risk lottery picks? In Marner's case does. he want to play for Jersey for 11.25 or remain a Leaf for 10.5? Imagine if Hirschier has a breakout year, does he warrant 9m and Josi wants a raise to stay.. Suddenly the Devils are against the cap with no first rounders. Signing Panarin or a UFA or next year and keeping the picks might be of more value to the Devils.</div></div>

Totally agree, it's a risk – but I feel the Devils have a lot of good young pieces in place who will only get better. In year 2 of this scenario I clear $28m in cap space, not counting any potential cap increases. I also have Kyle Palmieri entering the last year of his deal at $4.5m – a great number if I need to trade him, and could potentially even fetch a 1st at the deadline to recoop some assets.

Year 1 is definitely a gamble, and maybe this is a homer pick, but I think this squad would be a playoff team by year 2, or at least knocking on the door and have 5% odds – picking 12-15ish. But I've traded Taylor Hall here, so we won't win the lottery.

2020 1st: #1-10
2021 1st: #10-15
2022 1st: #20-25 – if this is a down year, Seattle also enters the NHL and the odds could change.
2023 1st: #32, haha

Definitely wishful thinking, but I'll trade an 11% chance at 1st overall for a 100% chance at Mitch Marner. It's really not the draft that bothers me about it, it's "what else could you acquire with 4 1st round picks?" – the sky is the limit there.
