A 1.6 million dollar contract is the price of a 3rd pairing D. I rather we signed Paul Martin, but whatever.
Confirmed with Link: Devils Sign John Moore, 3 years, $1.6M AAV
- Thread starter Better Call Sal
- Start date
What about Zajac?
I might go Moore Lars and Gelinas Sev's. Maybe.
I think there plenty of PP options. Greene and Merrill could certainly both play PP.
But we do look limited in terms of PK, if this is our 6.

We have cap space and needed a LH good enough to play with Larsson/Severson.
Great deal by SJS.
Bruns/Martin
Braun/Vlasic
Is a great top 6.

I'd flip my **** if we had to deal with Zajac on the point again
Merrill and Greene can obviously play the PP but that's the point where you want to get a couple of the big four a few shifts off if possible.
But Martin would totally squeeze Merrill out. Unless that's the plan, but i don't see how that is beneficial right now. Already selling low, then take away leverage.
Well it squeezes him out for the next 2 years. Martin could be a 3rd pairing the final 2 years of his deal if Merrill really improves.
Doesn't matter - Shero clearly wants a very young team with this signing.

Was kinda meh on this signing when I first heard of it going down. Now that I'm home and actually looked at it a bit more, like it quite a bit. Really low cost/risk signing on a young LHD that can skate well. I remember liking his game in Columbus, not sure how he played with the Rags and Yotes but I think he'll be fine with us.

I just remember Moore skating like a bat out of hell against us whenever we played the Rangers. So we are going all young on D, fine with me.
I'd probably roll with something like...
Greene/Severson
Gelinas/Larsson
Merrill/Moore

We certainly have to be at least close to middle of the pack now. The average age of our team will be around 27.

The defense and the offense should be reversed.
I think you've discovered our rebuild timeline maxtrix...When the ages cross our team will be rebuilt

I like it. A lot of fossils coming off the shelves next off-season as well. The youth movement is on, now it's just a case of if they're ready.

Time for someone to kick the door down. We have a lot of kids. Just a matter of finding a few who will stick.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few new, young faces at the beginning of the season make the team out of camp. Guys like Coleman and Zacha (not much of a surprise, but still) could be primed to take a spot. Exciting stuff really, might make watching this team bearable again.

Lots of teams have an unknown or two break out and become NHLers.
Idea is to see if we can fill a spot or two with our own kids.

I like the Moore signing, but it feels like people didn't pay attention to him last year / have overly high expectations.
Moore couldn't win the 6D job with the Rangers vs. Matt Hunwick. Moore made so many poor decisions he went from a key part of Gaborik deal to benched / a throw-in on the Yandle deal to not being qualified by the Coyotes (!). Again, Moore was on a 1 year, $850k contract and wasn't qualified. I think that's a poor front office decision by the Coyotes, but still, penciling Moore into any sort of regular role with the Devils seems way premature.
I see this signing as bottom pair competition. If Moore is more than a rotating #6, I'll be thrilled.

Gelly played better on the right side last year though so I don't see that as a big deal yet. Especially when most of our prospect D are also RH'ers. There's no evidence the new staff's going to be as anal as the old staff about restricting handedness to the same side.

Shero said John Moore played really well for U.S. at world championships. Didn't know he'd be available until Coyotes didn't give hin QO.
