Sujet: A better team with a better devolopment system
I agree with the philosophy just not the execution. I think one or two forwards should be the maximum NJ adds for veteran presence. If they are really in a position to compete they can add expiring deals at the deadline. Young forwards need to be able to play in order to grow and as much as some vet insulation can help- the way this roster is constructed looks like it is actually pushing capable young players down. I'd be interested in adding a scoring veteran forward to play with Jack and a strong defensive center to play on the third line and let homegrown players compete for the rest of the forward spots.

Where I really do agree about the importance of vets is on D. Whenever I think about fututre pairs or make Armchair GM teams I try to make sure young guys are paired with vets who can help protect them. Assuming our top four could look something like Graves-Hamilton (I pray) and Smith-Severson, I'd be interested in finding a strong bottom pair RHD to play alongside Bahl or L.Hughes and help protect them as they get into the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>knuxles</b></div><div>No offense but the problem with the Devils is a team with 19-26 year old players cannot be expected to be a playoff team without leadership through veterans. None of your rookies other than Hughes and Hischier will develop into anything more than bottom 6 players without role models. Your team needs better players and with your cap space, I see no reason not to sign role players ie. veteran 4th lines and top 6 free agents.</div></div>

None taken and I dont disagree. I said Hamilton from the moment they got bounced. But there is no reason to add a 36 yr old guy who wanted to leave and was a healthy scratch and had 18 pts, I'd rather suffer with the kids! I will gladly take on a Tatar etc. i am fine with my role players, I just watched two role players be a large chunk of winning back to back cups as the stars of the league got a early tee time. Yeah add, but not some of what you are suggesting. Coleman, Henrique, Saad, Danault, Armia, Wennberg any of those within reason
