Rumor: Devils not done making moves.

[RememberTheName]

So this was tweeted out by Corey Masisak earlier today.

What kind of move could this be talking about?

I don't think it's talking about anything specific, but we all know Shero has preyed on cap strapped teams in the past with draft picks and prospects, and I wouldn't be shocked if he continued to try that.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

After the comments he's made, you've got to wonder if he's looking at the offer sheet route. There are still a lot of good names out there.

 

[These Are The Days]

He'll probably make a move for Gusev

 

[WTFMAN99]

Adding someone like Gusev might be a worthwhile move.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I think Vats will be dealt for a forward

 

[DatDude44]

Here comes the Perenial AHL all star for a lesser AHL’er + 6th trade.

I could see them looking at signing Maroon on the cheap if they have room on their 3rd line

Jake Gardiner

Is any team ever really "done making moves?"

 

[Not Sure]

Risto and Scandella for Hall. Maybe NJ wasnt paying attention to Scandella last year and thinks hes a good defender.

I feel like this has been the rumor for quite some time. If it happens, it happens. If not, we go to camp with what we have and contend as best we can. I feel like this may be the first time that I have heard it from someone directly quoting someone within the Devils Org though. I think the previous rumors were largely just based on our desire to improve as well as our large cap immediate cap space.

We gave up our 2020 2nd rounder in the Subban trade, so that limits the range of offer sheets the Devils could hypothetically tender. Basically it'd only be the 4.227-6.341 mil range (1st+3rd) or 10.6+ (four 1sts). Can't think of too many (worthwhile) RFAs who'd sign in the first range. And then there are the usual hurdles of the offers in the next range.

There was that questionable rumor a couple weeks ago that the Bruins and Devils had been talking about a David Backes deal. Bruins would open up space for McAvoy/Carlo, but at a cost of attaching a high pick to dump the remaining two years of Backes' contract.

Try being a Lightning fan.... We can't make moves if we even tried

At least not since Yzerman left

The Atlanta Thrashers, etc.

NJ should definitely make a move for Gusev.

They should try to dangle Butcher. They really don’t need him at this point. He doesn’t fit into their top 4 and will likely cost them more than a bottom pair D should cost.

Something around Gusev and Holden for Butcher and pick might work for both teams...

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I got a feeling the Sens will do something silly like trade Colin White for Pavel Zacha.

Yes, they do. Our left side is crap, and Butcher is a young, top 4 dman with strong possession and offensive metrics.

I don't think NJ will ever trade their 6th round pick again.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

At this point I think Shero is consulting with Hall after every trade. If Hall says not enough they try for more lol.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Portend?

Operation trade until Hall stays in full effect

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Jake Gardiner

Also what I think. Ray knows Jake wants to be in Toronto so he will wait but I could see Jake signing before like end of August because its his job on the line - he cant wait forever

 

[Langdon Alger]

I don’t think Ottawa will trade White unless they can’t sign him. I doubt that happens though. I’d have to think the two sides wouldn’t be that far apart on a deal. Ottawa drafted White, and they seem to really like him. I’d be surprised if he’s traded.

Unless Jake wants to take a 1 year deal at a few million it makes no sense to wait on Toronto.

Devils are looking for a long term LD and the Devils will be a good team. Schnieder cant get worse plus Hischier, Hughes, Hall, Palmieri, Subban, Zacha, Zajac, Severson, Greene, Butcher etc. isnt a bad team to join. Some good prospects too.

The have cap space this season to still add and a ridiculous amount next season.
