Going back to people wondering if Amanda is still full time. I hope so. I enjoy her work.

When wasn’t she? It’s not like she had someone filling in for her last year

Oh I don't know, just that it was a question in the last team discussion thread.

I’ll predict we make a deal with Minnesota tonight.

If Ray isn’t inspired by what’s available at 17, I’d imagine it gets moved (with appropriate adds) for Brodin/Zucker/Nino. All three guys would fit like a glove here.

@NJDevs26 god damn you are cleaning house in these forums

She’s definitely still full time and is in Dallas for the draft.

It's almost like a fresh, new season!

Spot on "SpeakingOfTheDevils"!!! I would be happy to take on the one year of Tyler Ennis in order to get any one of Brodin, Zucker, Niederreiter or Dumba. That is the perfect scenario of using the cap space to your advantage. Wild need to sign Zucker & Dumba and a couple of spare parts and only have $12M left. It just seems too obvious that I'm pretty sure it won't happen.

 

[OmNomNom]

what would the wild do with the freed up ennis cap space + the 5mil in increased cap?

 

[RememberTheName]

How about McLeod + _____ for Nino and Ennis? Not sure how close this is to actual value

Re-sign Dumba and Zucker to start.

i rather see what mcloed can do before we send him off for nino

I doubt we move entirely out of the first. Niederreiter+24 for 17+?? would be a far better trade. Niederreiter isnt worth a first alone considering he is definitely overpaid for the time being

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I made a bold prediction to my buddy that we trade for either Coyle or Nelson this weekend.

hmmm brock nelson as our new 2C and shift zacha to a wing? interesting...

nelson is absolutely expendable, since he's playing 3C behind JT and barzal. but i think he can be a lot better

 

[Bologna 1]

everyone ready for another draft where the chatter leading up is "omg there is gonna be so much activity - blockbusters", only two see maybe one larger scale deal and the rest crickets?

 

[OmNomNom]

wandered onto the wild board, and they actually don't mind the following:

what about ennis + nino for michael mcleod + 17?

they also liked the following LOL

"Nino + Ennis + 24 + something else for Palmieri + 17"

but also said that while that's a pipe dream, palmieri is more realistically replaced with zacha in that trade

Yeah no shit they don't mind getting Mcleod and a first rounder while dumping salary. No thanks.

17 plus Quenneville for 24, Neiderreiter and Ennis?

I wouldn’t be too crazy about either one...the former is essentially two first rounders for Nino, and a hard no on moving Palms.

17 plus Quenneville for 24, Neiderreiter and Ennis?

Not sure Minny would do it but guess I’d be fine with that.

 

[Darkauron]

We are not going to move palms. He is our only really good RW.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

IMO Palms is the 3rd most untouchable player on our team after Hall and Nico.

Nelson should be nowhere near the 2C if Zacha cant be

Id put Vatanen 3rd, Butcher 4th, Palmieri 5th
