Sujet: Damon take one for the team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I think there are options that could keep Nemec down for one more year, but wouldn’t block him long-term. Preserving his slide may be the best long-term cap decision we can make. Here are some alternatives…

1. Sign or acquire short-term veteran to play with Luke for one year on 3rd pair.

2. Extend Severson if he will take either short-term deal or longer deal without NTC. Play the same right side for another year or two, then trade someone.

3. Play combination of in-house alternatives (Smith, Walsh, Vilen, etc).

All would allow us to keep Nemec in AHL for one more year.</div></div>

I get what you’re saying, but the kid already almost forced himself onto the team out of training camp this past season. He just had an unbelievable year in the AHL and then led all Slovakian players in ice time at the IIHF. Does that honestly sound like somebody who’s going to play another year in the A?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>He is 19 years old. Is it worth burning a year of ELC to have him learning on the fly? I would rather see him at $883k in 2026-27, when he is in his prime, and Luke, Dawson are on big deals.

Keep him in Utica one more year. Give him a few games (9 or less) at end of year. And fully take training wheels off starting 2024-25.

Also, easier to ease one rookie into unit at a time.</div></div>

If his “learning on the fly” is equivalent to what Luke Hughes just did, than yes it’s absolutely worth him being on the 3rd pairing versus paying Severson a contract (6 years/$6 million per) that doesn’t align with our long term needs. If you want the money down the line to sign Mercer, Holtz, Luke, and Nemec you gotta keep cap space open and giving it to either Severson or Graves is the wrong decision.

Sujet: Goalie trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmyjets</b></div><div>We actually think we have our goalie of the future in Dom. Was a 7th round pick last year but was ohl goaltender of the year this year. Need a 2 year bridge to him though so Vanacek could be park of the return as devils need to shed that salary. We could even retain 50% on Helle to make the move cap neutral this year.

25 1st isn’t really that appealing so I’d rather give that back, with the retention to upgrade the prospect from Casey. With Hamilton, Marino and Casey long term on the right side, I’d also want to talk about if we could add to get Nemec? We add Ehlers, 50% retained for 2 years to Helle 50% retained for this year and DeMelo as a bridge to Casey…. I can try to put together an actual offer I think could work but the reality is if we got a third team involved to eat 50% of Dillon’s contract…. Could be a massive trade that works out for both teams…. Would require Nemec though…. So…?</div></div>

It’s been the position of the devs organization that Mercer, Holtz, L. Hughes, and Nemec are not available in trade talks. All 4 are expected in the lineup for opening day next season.
