Devils 2018-19 Team Discussion (news and notes) Part II

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

I know my guess is probably not accurate... however... Since July 1 I have not understood how Nazem Kadri would stay in Toronto as a third line center.
They need to sign Nylander then need to sign Marner and Matthews in the offseason. Their cap space is going to be completely gone and add to that they REALLY need to beef up their defense if they plan on winning anything. I wonder what it would take to get Kadri here as our 2c.

Santini for Nylander…..1 for 1

I know you're kidding...

But NJ scouts wouldn't be in Toronto for Nylander as he's not playing. It would be for someone else.
It would be VERY interesting if there was a Leafs scout in Newark tonight.

Alright, so that explains why they took JQ out for Stafford. Let's go Staffy, time to impress.

Welp, second gaff in one page, read it backwards. Not going to change it though, enjoy.

Maroon confirmed in that video that NJ offered "way more money"

I’d take Kadri if they were looking to free up cap to fit Nylander & Marner long term. Maybe some kind of swap for Zacha since he’s cheap? They could use a bigger body too since they have so many smaller skill guys.

Hall - Hischier - Palmieri
Johansson - Kadri - Bratt
Wood - Zajac - Noesen
Coleman - Boyle - Dea

Looks pretty solid to me if we could pull that off.

Rather just keep Zacha

 

[HBK27]

Maybe Bratt closer then we think?

Bratt's return really isn't tied to Gryba being put on waivers. Bratt obviously isn't playing tonight and the next game isn't until Saturday, so if this move was at all related Shero would just wait until Friday to put Gryba on waivers in order to active Bratt on Saturday. You also figure he'd wait to see if anyone got injured in tonight's game that would negate even having to open up a spot.

That's why the timing on this is so odd. There's no NEED to put Gryba through waivers at this point at all. Unless there's a trade in the works where NJ may acquire an extra roster player, and even then you can just move Quenneville down to Binghamton on a paper transaction for 24 hours in order to clear a spot and allow Gryba to pass through waivers.

Maybe there's something else to the timing where NJ had planned on trying to sneak Gryba down and maybe there's really not too many injured defensemen out there at the moment that he has a better chance of passing through now versus earlier in the season. I just don't see him being a possible waiver wire pickup considering any team could've just signed the guy as a UFA for more than the $700K NJ paid.

Nah though we're broke some dude here said that

Speaking of ''Some dude'', he's been conspicuously absent since the season started.

I'm sure he'll be gracing us with his presence after the first losing streak.

 

[glenwo2]

Butcher is on the ice for the morning skate!

Didn't put in my two cents yet so :


THANK....F'N....GOD.


Maybe we might YET have a FULL HEALTHY LINEUP still when Bratt gets back!

I literally saw the post you responded to and wanted to say the same thing. Trolls will troll

Kadri is a far better player

I think Nylander would round off our team perfectly. We have got 2/3 of a 2nd line and he would complete that well to form an all Swedish line.

Johansson-Nylander-Bratt

 

[My3Sons]

TOR is in a tough spot with Nylander. He wants more than they want to spend on him but they can’t trade him in anything less than a slam dunk trade based on statements by GM Dubas that they would keep him. This may drag on for a while since TOR is winning and doesn’t appear to be missing a beat without him.

Way to jinx it Glen. Zajac is on you bud.

 

[ScottyK]

Kadri is the suspected player of interest in toronto tonight supposedly

Sure as long as they don’t expect both Lovejoy AND Stafford in return.

Yup. With the impending cap hell on the horizon, they can’t have a third line center making that money while also have glaring holes on defense

[Emperoreddy]

I am curious at who they might be trying to get a look at.

Kadri becomes more intriguing if Zajac has to miss any significant time.

There is no way Leafs trade Kadri. He is a back to back 30 goals scorer who is a strong two way player making less than $5 million a season.

They need to move money out, and they won’t do that by trading crap away.

hes now the 3C is he not?

its either Kadri or one of their DMen.

They have Dmen?

 

[Triumph]

It makes zero sense for the Leafs to move Kadri. They have no need to move out salary this season. I suppose Kadri is at the peak of his value right now, but I'm not sure why they would move him unless he demanded a trade.
