Sujet: The best 23 arent always the chosen 23
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I disagree with your analysis. Players will be pissed (if by the author's opening comments are accurate) that Nemec deserves to be on the team over four other Dmen..
Players want to win now.
Now if you say Nemec is a minor upgrade over Miller well maybe I can agree with you. But you seem too putting on selfish blinders just to prove yourself right. The author said Nemec is better than FOUR Devils Dmen, three of which will be on the Devils
Sorry, I'm just going by the analysis of a Devils fan who made the post. Yes, players would be pissed if Nemec was sent Utica in place of superior players.
In a non hockey situation"
You would seem justify the hiring a new manager because he is the director's nephew, when four supervisors deserved the job more. Wouldn't all the employees under this new manager be pissed that an underserving person got the job?</div></div>

Nemec is a RHD.

Bahl is a LHD, and the 3rd best LHD the devils have.

Siegs-Hamilton
Hughes-Marino
Bahl
is set in stone.

Brendan Smith and Cal Foote are competing for 7D. If nemec is better than them its irrelevant, because it is much better to get him playing RD1 PP1 in utica than standing in the press box.

the RD spot is between Miller and Nemec. That's the battle. If nemec wins it decisively he will be the devils everyday dman. If not he'll go to utica, get his 9 games for NJD at some point, and if he shows enough he'll take the job. Otherwise he will develop in Utica.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Just going by the original post, where the author said Nemec was better than four of the current NHL Dman. Yeah those four players won't be upset, because they get to keep NHL jobs. But ALL the other players would be upset. Gee, wouldn't they think management wasn't concerned about winning, by demoting a player who deserves play 18 minutes a night over others.</div></div>

Hughes Hischier Bratt Siegs Hamilton Marino Meier Palat Hughes all have 4+ year contracts which means they'll care about being able to field a better team into the future.
Mercer+L Hughes+Holtz+other young upcoming RFAs are under devils control long term and this only frees up more money for them on future contracts.
all other dman get more opportunities.
Erik Haula loves NJD, trusts what management is doing and won't care.
The other D get more opportunities.

The goalies get a proven strong stay at home option in Colin Miller to make their lives easier.

What? Am I going to mildly annoy Tyler toffoli that there's a potential that Nemec is a tiny upgrade over colin miller at 3RD?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I was just going by analysis of the poster of roster. He had Nemec ahead of three players that made the Jersey roster. Now if that doesn't scream to the players on the roster, management doesn't care to win NOW, I don't know what else to say. These players don't care of Jersey's ELC or the slide
The players you mentioned. Were they good enough to be NHLers during the two years of their slide?
Don't think Clarke is good comparsion at all. He was forced to play junior or the NHL., and maybe he wasn't NHL ready. By Nemec's season with Utica and the author's comments, Nemec deserves to play for the Devils ahead of others.</div></div>

Which players would have any reason to be upset?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>They prob won't be resigning Nylander TBH... I think he's going to get traded... And like you said, that leaves them with 33 mill to sign (assuming Cowan/Minten/Robertson don't make the jump, Woll can't play starter and Knies is playing 3rd line, which I doubt all 3 will happen): 2LW, 2RW, 3RW, 4LW, 1RD, 2RD, 3LD and G1 which is very reasonable to do...

But, if all 3 of what I said happened, then they would have 31 mill to sign a 2LW, 2RW, 1RD, 2RD, 3LD, 2G which is very reasonable too...</div></div>

even a 1B goalie will cost 3+ on the low end. Likely you're looking at needing a 1A with Woll as 1B best case scenario. let's be gentle and say 4 for UFA.

the going rate on even mediocre middle pairing dmen is about 4 and top pairing would be about 6. There's 10 mill. but let's give a 1 mill discount for liligren being a RFA. 9
another 2 for your bottom pairing
lets say another 5 for your bottom line+3 scratches (800-850k each)

That's 20+42.6 for your big 4 (NO NYLANDER)+9.6 for other rostered players.

Leaving: 15 mill (give or take 1-2) to replace Nylander, Bertuzzi, and Domi
