<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>There is a reasonable chance that Ullmark makes it to free agency in a year and NJ is in a position to sign him for free just like I think Boston is going to do with Elias Lindholm.

After this year, I think NJ shouldn’t wait and there is a deal to be made to ensure he gets there. It won’t cost them Mercer or the 10th pick unless Boston is adding a 2025 first. Even then, I think the more like deal is a 2025 first and a 2024 third or a prospect.

I don’t believe Sweeney trades Swayman. He had one test needed before locking him into a long term deal and he literally just passed it with flying colors. Kid is a literal folk hero in Boston after this series. I believe the Schneider deal as a comparable is wishful thinking for NJ fan. Just like I don’t think we are acquiring Draisaitl even though I’d love him (not the same level of player I get it)</div></div>

I am more than happy to make a deal for a fair price.

There is one individual tho who is convinced NJD will have to pay extortion level prices for a goalie, and that there is no other possible way to get a goalie.

Swayman is always fun to think about but he's always been a pipe dream. But that dream will remain until an extension is signed for me

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I just feel like Mercer + 10th overall pick would be like ottaea removing a really good top liner and replacing him with likely a 2nd liner and probably #2/#3 D. Better depth but they lose at the top</div></div>

Oh yeah it would be a tough pill to swallow 100% going from Tkachuk to Mercer, and would only even make the tiniest bit of sense if Tkachuk demands a trade.

But from history teams don’t ever really trade the Nemec type young pieces with control. The Nemec’s, the Wyatt Johnson’s, the Slafs, Cooley’s, Sanderson

But my view is just based on comparing to some of the other biggest packages, and Mercer+10th would rank very high among those packages.

Imo it’s very similar if not better than the Matthew Tkachuk package depending on how you view rentals, and long term high priced extensions on UFAs you bring in (I don’t value them particularly highly)

Sujet: If Demko is not invited to the Arty Party
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>FTR..

Schneider in the 3 years prior to being traded:
30GP, 33GP, 25GP - 88 total GP

Demko in the last 3 years:
51GP, 32GP, 64GP - 147 total games played

So Demko plays almost double the amount of games. also tough to say Schneider was better at the time when he played behind a much better team defence at the time. But sure, believe what you want and only look at stats without taking into context the overall situation 🤷🏻‍♂️</div></div>

If you don't understand how good Cory Schneider was you simply aren't worth talking to. He WAS a top 3 goalie. Without a doubt.

Demko isn't.

I'd take Helle, Sorokin, Shesterkin over him in a heartbeat

In the 2 years prior to trade:

Schneider: 48% of team starts
Demko: 50% of team starts

Wow huge difference

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>Name the last time a 28 year old, top 3 goalie got traded to a team that only needed a good goalie to be a much better calibre team.. you can’t.

Yea goalies historically haven’t returned much in a trade. But the situation that New Jersey is in combined with how good Demko is + his contract/age means you’d pay more - likely a price fans wouldn’t be comfortable with.

Mercer + prospect + pick for Demko.

Nemec + pick + younger roster player with not as much upside for Demko.</div></div>

If only we had an example of an elite young goalie with 2 years left on their contract going from Vancouver to NJD for a top 10 pick 1 for 1 to use as an example. Oh well, no way a trade like that would have happened in the past
