Sujet: Moving On From Bahl
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>He cannot step into a top 4 role. He can barely even play in a bottom pairing role without a top pairing caliber dman like Severson to carry him</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Wheres the physical though? As Gibb said above, he cant handle it. I'd rather move him with adds to get a lefty who can and let SH be what you want Bahl to be at less more than likely</div></div>

He fills the bottom pairing role for me, most hits by a defensemen on the Devils, only Dman with a positive (+1) plus/minus, blocks shots, plays PK minutes, and will fight. That's it, not every Dman needs to put up points like L Hughes/ Hamilton.

Right now is Bahl a top 4 Defenseman on a Playoff team, no but I think he could fill that role if needed to do injury and he still can develop.

As for Hatakka, I still like his game. After this season though I would be very surprised if any rookie/inexperienced Dman plays major minutes next year with how bad letting Greaves and Severson ended up hurting the Defense this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Clown? Bahl blows! Every thread you comment on is completely wrong! Every damn one. Pettersson is a top pair d man in Pittsburgh. Hatakka was far better in 12 games than Bahl in most of them. Less physical, what did Bahl do this year that was physical, nothing! Who said anything about speed? It's skill, something Bahl continues not to show. You're against swapping a 6'6 230 guy who plays like he's 5'8 175 for a first pair d man earning sub $5M. Great job, if we follow you it'll be another 10 yrs. before we compete.

Whale nice idea, gotta get D better, Luke's a couple away from being the guy we need</div></div>

Bahl is 2nd on the Devils in hits, I doubt Smith resigns, Mcloed is out, and MacDermid is only playing 5 mins a night. Bahl isn't that physical but at this point its him, Bastian, and Lazar for the Devils. L Hughes, Hamilton, Marino, and Nemec aren't really physical.

Also Bahl will be 24 next year and just played 82 for the first time, you have to think he will come back better next season. It took 5 seasons after Petterson got drafted for him to play a full season, let Bahl develop.

Sujet: Overpaying to improve Defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>why wouldn't you just sign good defensemen, instead of overpaying bad ones?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bwhsocal</b></div><div>are you meyers agent or mom? no way he gets close to that and dont see AZ signing 34yo for couple years anyway. AZ doesnt need G and zadorov AZ might be interested
on the trade why would AZ trade a bottom 6 W making league min - with 19G for a 5th rounder playing in russia? just because he is teammates w but/simashev</div></div>


Fits what Arizona has been doing, getting bigger players for a more physical game. Plus Zadorov and Myers 6'6"/235 lbs 6'8"229 lbs are similar size to Simashev and Lamoureux 6'4"/ 201 lbs 6'7"/ 199 lbs and would just be stopgaps until Simashev, Lamoureux, Sodestrom, Szuber, or whomever develops.

Berezkin for Carcone, yes teaammates with But/Simashev try and get all 3 to sign and play in the AHL next year. Also ARZ has a lot of young promising forwards with Carcone being the odd one out and get something for him instead of losing him on waivers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RationalHockeyFan</b></div><div>Honestly not sure if the Jets should take Dumba over Stanley, he just hasn't been the same offensive player since that injury he had a few years back. I think that any D the Jets add at the TDL needs to be a clear and unquestionable upgrade over someone in the "Dcore + Ville." I'm honestly not sure that Dumba is noticeably better defensively than Schmidt at this point, therefore I don't think it makes sense to acquire him.</div></div>

I thought Stanley wanted a trade at the beginning of the year or was that just Gawanke? Honestly Dumba probably doesn't play over Schmidt right away, just thought that WPG would want a righty for the playoffs and Stanley might be headed towards arbitration if he wants to try and get playing time next year.

Sujet: Two year rentals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Daccord has been playing very well for last couple of years, just hadn’t gotten opportunity to play regularly. He was best goalie in AHL last year. And it’s not uncommon for goalies to arrive at his age (Markstrom wasn’t starter until he was 27). Daccord is a technically sound goalie so even if he fell off a bit, he would be able to correct. Comes from family of goalies, dad is a goalie coach at BU. Only making $1.2n for two years. I think he would be worth it.</div></div>

Just too much for me for a question mark.

Fitzgerald is starting to give me late term Lou vibes: doing trades to fix holes that just cause more holes by trading all the picks and young players. The Devils have VV, Daws, Schmid, and I guess Poulter, I'm fine at this point to see give them time and see if any of them can be the starter long term.
