<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-Personally don't think the Islanders as currently constructed should be sending out picks for veterans with high cap hits - as you said, the rest of the roster isn't contender-level and I don't think that adding Boeser is enough to drag them into the playoffs in the first place.

-Arizona says no; even if they don't, Varlamov and his 16-team NTC say no. You're basically giving them a more expensive rental goalie, a 1st next year, a 3rd, and a $250K obligation on top of that for an incredibly good goalie. Arizona might be taking the long way around a rebuild but Vejmelka is still young enough to be an important part of it - I don't see them moving him for anything short of an egregious overpay.

-Parise's third on the team in goals and makes the absolute league minimum. I could easily see him getting a 2nd or a 3rd &amp; an interesting prospect at the deadline - dude plays all three phases of the game, and can slide up and down the lineup. Smart contenders love a Swiss army knife like him - he can do anything you ask him to.</div></div>

Good point on Vej trade but even though Parise's been good, I don't think his 40 game sample size as an expiring 38 y/o who was awful last year is enough to justify a high pick. Maybe by the deadline if he keeps up this pace I could see someone paying a third but if hes still playing well by then and the isles are pushing for playoffs it doesnt make sense to move him anyway.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>I don't mind the guys you signed and agree with your overall approach, however:
- As much as I love Bratt he shouldn't be getting more than Hischier. It's not like 8 x 7.5m would be a bad contract for him, but I don't see him signing a long term contract outside of the 6.3 - 7m range.
- Boqvist should get about 1m less, think Siegenthaler's last deal is a good comp for him (and Zetterlund).
- If Wood signs for one year slightly below his QO that'd be great, but realistically I'd expect both him and the front office to be happy with him being around for one more year at 3.5m.
- That's a bad Husso contract, his resume is too short to warrant any such AAV. A 4 x 4 might be fine just to make sure the Blues cannot match but 5m is just reckless. That last year could really hurt when Hughes, Holtz, Mercer and Slafkooley are through their ELCs.
- E-Rod isn't a great contract either, I'd rather offer (+ a little more AAV) that to Palat, Copp or Nichushkin. Or go cheaper with Marchment whom had similar impacts and better production.
- Rather have any of Cooley, Nemec or Jiricek at #2 ahead of Slaf, but if you think Juraj is BPA at #2 I can respect that opinion.

It's a good team overall.
Barring simultaneous goaltending injuries, they should make the playoffs via WC I'd think.
Shows how much the Devils could achieve with having some faith in further developing the core while addressing needs in key areas.
Thumbs up.</div></div>

I'm a huge fan of jiricek but at this point all signs point to slaf (who I still don't mind, just riskier IMO). I overpaid a few free agents just because I feel like Fitz used the "we are on the verge of a playoff run" card last year with dougie, tatar, and bernier and it may not work again this year after how bad the team played.
