Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - offseason part I

[SteveCangialosi123]

His skating speed got slower this year which is something I'd probably stay away from because it shows injuries/age are starting to take a toll on him. @SteveCangialosi123, you've used those skating charts before on this board, can ya post Marner's if you can find it?

This year vs 2 years ago

NJ needs to get faster not slower

NJ needs to get faster not slower

why does our mascot's speed matter?

 

[MadDevil]

We need to get tougher to play against!

Go get Marner who is being run out of town for being too easy to play against!

 

[Darkauron]

Mariner is not a good fit for our team. He is mid frfr

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I’ll only accept Marner if Palat goes the other way

17 years since the last game at CAA

I never would’ve thought the building would still be standing this long after the move

Curtis Lazar signing happening at Sports Minded Unlimited on Friday from 6-8.

I am not saying I want to get Marner, but I think some of you guys are definitely underselling him tbh. He is also a tremendous defensive player.

He doesn't show up in the playoffs. We already have big money tied up in our top 4 forwards. Are we going back to Timo being a PP2 player?

And what do you think we have to give up? They are going to want a top Dman and we are talking about 1 or 2 players for us here.

Like I said, I have never suggested trading for him. I agree he doesn't fit given our current roster makeup.

Marner has 50 points in 57 career playoff games, with a 53% CF% . This "doesn't show up in the playoffs" stuff is so ridiculous to me.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Marner will be an amazing fit on some team and will most likely be a huge reason that team wins a cup. But it isn't Toronto and it isn't Devils. Ironically enough a team like Boston would turn into a powerhouse with him in my opinion.

 

[Saugus]

I wanted Marner in his draft year, but he didn't drop past the Leafs, and we ended up with Zacha instead.

I think he's still a good player, but he would be redundant on the Devils, and we'd have trouble fitting his contract.

 

[Guadana]

Will Buffalo or Columbus make offers for him, they have good young players to make a trade and some nhlers too.

I don't think trading him will make Toronto better. They will not find better players. It will be Tkachuk story. Except Marner looks like a player who wants to play for his team. But I will be happy if they will trade him away. Fans don't understand where their problems are coming from, how good their team is playing for their weak roster aside from top 5 players.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Marner is a hell of a hockey player. Not what the Devils should be spending cap space on right now, and that's fine, but he's really f***ing good

 

[Davegarri]

If the Leafs are willing to trade Marner and we get a good deal on it, I take him 10/10 times and figure the rest out later. He's a beast and the cap will continue to increase.

 

[Forge]

Is there an expectation that Marner is okay with a trade?

 

[Devils Trap]

I would take Marner 11 times out of 10. He is bordering on ridiculously under rated right now

He is almost a PPG in the playoffs with a 54% CF in his playoff career. He is tremendous defensively, a top PKer for TOR.

Get him for cheap, obviously would need to work around the cap but if its doable, Im in

 

[Forge]

Anyone getting Marner would be getting a good deal trade compensation wise. The cap hit, contract length and NMC pretty much guarantees that.

But that's a lot of money that eats up a lot of current year flexibility

 

[Oneiro]

Marner will probably only get appreciated properly when he finally looks grizzled as hell and is 35 doing what Pavelski is doing.

We need a goalie, third line center and a wing for Jack.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Marner's picking his next spot if he's getting traded this year, I can see him being intrigued with the Devils tbh but I'd like to sort out the rest of the roster a bit before we get there like the above post said about a goalie

I’ll get a GDT up tonight for the lottery tomorrow. In 2022 I made a GDT and we moved up, hopefully I can be a good luck charm again lmao.
