<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fergy22</b></div><div>you're betting on a top 5 lottery team with that squad , Formenton should get more $ , Gaudette more $ than Gambrell in fact they may not qualify Gamnbrell. Norris will get at lest 6 per. Not interested in Leddy 2x4mil , Gustavsson is signed to a 1 way deal next year so I see him over Gillies ( not sure how you figure he will sign anywhere for 1.5 ) and the best for last Ouelette ? JDB , Thomson over him any day and Sanderson will make the team at some point next year , he may start in Bellville for some seasoning but he will be an NHLer by the 40 game mark.</div></div>

Part of the point is using no prospects as we don't know how the organization will treat them. Look how long it took for Brannstrom to join the squad full time. Maybe Formenton gets more but I'm not sure, also I don't think I can unqualify a player using armchair GM. The Leddy contract is little risk for a guy who would keep Sanderson's seat warm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PaulieWalnuts</b></div><div>This is quite reasonable, not bad at all coming from a non Devils fan. Thumbs up.

I’m definitely in the camp of not selling futures for short term assets for this and next season so I agree with this approach.

And while I wouldn’t mind trading for Kubalik, I’d prefer to try and move either Johnsson, Zacha or Tatar to get him. Wood’s combination of dynamism and power isn’t something we have an abundance of at the moment.

Forward lines are fine.
Defensive pairings are mostly fine as well, though it’s quite likely that one of Bahl or Walsh takes Jaros’s spot for next season. And Siegenthaler’s likely playing first or second pairing minutes next season as well (he’s been fantastic this year).

Bernier is a big question mark as he may have suffered a career ending injury. I’m hoping Devils sign another veteran (Husso, Kuemper, Campbell etc) or trade for a guy like Annunen or Dostal.

And Zacha’s QO is 2.75m so you’re a little short on his contract.</div></div>

Thanks for the compliments. I agree that buying again will end up in disaster/cap trouble. Also, the 2023 offseason will have a lot of guys who need to be paid so getting aggressive when it's unnecessary won't work well

Wood is just a guy I think Chicago would like, also pretty interchangeable with Zacha. Speaking of him, the contract is a bit shallow but I think it's reasonable (maybe a bit more). As for the D-pairs, I have 1 rule, no calling up players with 0 NHL experience.

As for Bernier, I hope he gets better but if he retires I'd get another goalie
