So... Stutzle, Sanderson and someone else with our three 1sts?
or trade one from immediate help.
OR TRADE THEM ALL FOR LAFFY

Drysdale!!!
I'm all in on Drysdale. I'll be disappointed if we don't walk away with him.
Lots of flexibility now. The Devils have three shots at coming away with a longterm top6 forward or Top4 defenseman either by draft OR trade. I’d have to assume they’ll shop at least one of the picks; if they pick up another (or 2?) they’ll obviously be in the driver’s seat and I’d expect multiple deals.
Even if we end up with 4 1sts, I hope we only actually use 2 of them. I’d much rather add to the NHL roster with trades.
Unless the devils use the picks to move up in the draft they are going to be drafting all of them. I don’t see them trading for nhl talent with them mainly what nhl talent are they going to be getting for a 1st round pick in the 20 range? Rather just draft the kid and fit in line with the young core they are trying to build.
this would be a great year to have a barzal type fall from someone
I've been waiting for this supposed "trade for a dman" for over 10 years or w/e it was. It's not that simple.

When was the last time the team had disposable 1st round picks? Of course it’s not that easy but they have the ammo to make a deal if the opportunity is there.

The year we drafted Gomez. That was the last time and we had two 1sts that year.
The smartest thing to do would be to use all the picks and hopefully we hit on some. We are multiple pieces away from being a contender anyways.
I wouldn't say it's "weak," it's just not top heavy. There are still some very, very good d prospects in this class, just no sure fire home runs after Drysdale is all.The issue with this is...the d class is very weak and that's really what they need. Ofc, if there are no trades available, then you just have to deal with what you're given.
