<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mcruvie</b></div><div>Based on what? Puljujarvi is only five months older and has more NHL and AHL experience, more NHL and AHL points, better NHL and AHL ppg, had a better year in Europe last year and has a better draft pedigree... notwithstanding all of that, i would love to hear how you come to that conclusion.</div></div>

I think at surface level Puljujarvi has more value, but I would rather have Boqvist at this point just due to temperament. Boqvist got bottom 6 minutes ( on a bad team) and got reassigned to the AHL but I didn't hear/ see anything about him being unhappy or refusing to report and going to Europe. Now Puljujarvi might have changed by now but he seems more like a boom or bust cadndiate; while Boqvist and Mcleod don't have as high as of ceiling their floor is a lot higher.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DevilsFanInTX</b></div><div>I think Walsh gets offered an ELC - up in the air as to whether he takes it. I don't know what the rumor mill is putting out on him and why he would want to leave (other than the team being bad). Given the questionable talent level, he would have a legit shot at making the bottom-6 on this roster. </div></div>

Looks like the Harvard season won't start till January 1, 2021 (Source: <a href="https://gocrimson.com/news/2020/7/8/home-page-ivy-league-outlines-intercollegiate-athletics-plans-no-competition-in-fall-semester.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://gocrimson.com/news/2020/7/8/home-page-ivy-league-outlines-intercollegiate-athletics-plans-no-competition-in-fall-semester.aspx</a>)

I think that might push Walsh into signing since like you said there is a big hole on the right after Severson and Subban, might get a chance to play right away. Plus Walsh will get near the rookie max $800-$900,000 plus a nice signing bonus.

Either way worst comes to worse gives the Devils more time to shop his rights even Walsh says he won't sign here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zyyyp</b></div><div>Welcome to CF sir! you've overpaid a few guys, Blackwood and Bratt probably both take 3 year bridge deals, Anderson should be no more than 1M on a 2 year deal, Hayden is worth like 900k at best and there's no real reason to bring him back anyways. Hoffman will likely get closer to 7M x 4 or 5 years.

Go Devils!</div></div>

I am thinking a 2 year bridge deals for both Blackwood and Bratt since at that point Subban's/ Schneider's contracts will have expired, Bratt will be 24 Blackwood will be 25, and an 8 year contract would take them through the rest of their prime years (Bratt 32 Blackwood 34 at expiration)

Also I would like to see Hayden back. He is 3rd on the Devils in hits (minus Simmonds/ Coleman and Hayden only played 43 games) nice guy to have as a 13/14th Forward.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>I agree that NJD would be helped greatly by signing a good veteran UFA on defense and at wing or center. I could also see Fredrik Clarsson on the roster and playing very well. Always liked his game when he played for the Rangers and I believe he's the type of D-man that's historically played well for NJD. Also he was included in the Vananen trade even though he's going to be a UFA at seasons end. Which makes me believe that Claesson was traded for in order to possibly resign.</div></div>

I doubt Claesson stays, at the time of the Vatanen trade Greene was traded already, they were trading Vatanen, and I believe at that point Butcher may have already been injured; so the only LHD-man they had was Mueller.

I think the Devils might resign Mueller/ Mermis, keep Butcher, and see if either Smith/ Bahl can crack the lineup out of camp and move who ever gets dropped out of the lineup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zyyyp</b></div><div>not sure if you watched many Devils games this year my man, "physical" is one of the last words I would use to describe his play. takes a million dumb penalties and he has 0 puck skills whatsoever, bull in a china shop every time he touches the puck. couldn't make a sharp turn to save his life, and the majority of what he does on the ice is head scratching. sorry but I'm perfectly okay with him never playing another game in a Devils jersey.</div></div>

Basing his physciality off hits for NJ; Coleman is first with 166, then Simmonds 128, then Wood with 102.

I quess it just comes down to a difference of opinions, I like Wood's play and really liked the bottom line with Wood -Rooney - Mcleod/ Anderson. Wish he wasn't paid close to 3 million but the Devils have plenty of cap room, plus I would rather keep Wood and not see Foote or Kuokkanen be forced into playing a bottom 6 role like Boqvist was this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>coyotes and the leafs have been reported to be 2 of the 3 favorites of acquiring him. Also that contract is an big no no. While I like we are looking for cheap alternatives. I would rather dubas try to sign a KHL defenseman. Can come cheap, could be a good pairing for rielly or sandin, and can bring skills not seen before.</div></div>

$4 million is steep but the Devils aren't a big market team, have been a bottom 10 for most of the past, and seemingly aren't in Barabanov's top choices. It is too much for him but it would only be for 2 years and the Devils aren't likely to contenders next year so they are going to have cap space. It is not my money but I feel like gambling on 25 isn't a terrible idea.

Also Zub sounds exactly what you are looking for best +/- in the KHL, 24 so can only sign ELC, and is right handed.
