I don’t see how Nico’s team could justify asking for $11 mil. $10 mil, maybe.
Kaprizov’s contract extension has been a mess for the Wild. Front offices pay attention to the rest of the league.
Florida gets it done for their guys. Others bow down. Sunny is a Florida guy.
Mr White@MrWhite1079
Someone needs to explain to me how a 66 point, 2nd line center, who’ll be asking for something in the area of ~11M$ per… is labeled as irreplaceable. If Nico wants to move on & doesn’t want to re-sign in NJ, is this franchise doomed for the next decade & eventually relocate?

@TopTierPucks @zachnhso @R3vampDev @JCourvilleLynch Toronto in Solid is a joke, it’s like watching a game at a library
English
@DaRealRyanGrant @SensFan97_ Bratt and a prospect, “if” Brady wants out, their bargaining power is not great.
English
@CDNEastCoaster @SensFan97_ Hischier doesn’t really hit and his game has zero grit to it.
The back end was terrible, but his individual game and coverage was brutal in the second half, but like I said it could be he just gave up.
If I was Ottawa I would NEVER do Bratt 1 for 1.
English
Hypothetically if Brady were to get moved these are my targets:
NJD: Hischier, Bratt, Mercer, Silayev
NYR: Lafreniere, Perreault, Fox
STL: Thomas, Kyrou, Holloway, Snuggerud, Neighbours
MIN: Wallstedt, Yurov, Boldy, Faber
DAL: Robertson, Bourque, Lundkvist, Bichsel
English
@DaRealRyanGrant @SensFan97_ It was just a matter of him having to do everything. The Devils are soft, but Hischier is not. I’d say his defense looked worse because the back end was terrible.
English
@CDNEastCoaster @SensFan97_ Playing devils advocate… Hischier seems checked out, his defense has taken a bit of a dive though it could be that he just gave up on the season. He’s lacks grit but the devils are super soft as a whole. I like Hischier but I wouldn’t be overly surprised if he gets traded.
English
@DaRealRyanGrant @SensFan97_ They do, but not at the expense of a legit 1 or 2c. Creates a massive hole up the middle. That’s why Bratt makes more sense, a wing for another wing that brings more toughness. If Cody Glass is your 2C you have problems.
English
@CDNEastCoaster @SensFan97_ They both average 66 points over an 82 game season with Brady having over 30G.
He’s a little bit better offensively, much tougher, and the physicality is something the devils need.
English
@DaRealRyanGrant @SensFan97_ Straight up for Hischier is not even close. Trading a great 2-way center for a decent left winger makes zero sense and makes the Devils considerably worse. Bratt is closer
English
@SensFan97_ @CDNEastCoaster Straight up for Hischier OR Bratt would make sense
English
@BestOfZay I think it’s pretty well known that the Leafs crowd is one of the worst in the league.
English
@SensFan97_ And most on that list would require Brady and something else in return.
English
@CDNEastCoaster These are players to target, not packages for Brady
English
@annikadevils I don’t think anyone who has ever watched the NHL thinks the playoffs are less physical. It’s a well known fact and always comes up when discussing what makes a good playoff team.
English
I love this stat. Most think the playoffs are a less physical more skill. But a physical D and strong zone coaching matters more in the playoffs. Make them earn every inch of the ice still holds true. Goals are down from 6.63 in regular season to 5.43 in playoffs. The chant “just hit someone” still matters. This is still hockey and physical.
Meghan Chayka@MeghanChayka
Hits per 60 36.14 in the regular season 70.28 in the playoffs (More difficult to get to dangerous areas of the ice 29% of shots scoring chances in regular season and 25.3% )
English
@Singsy24 My fear is Keefe’s soft perimeter system. I would give him the benefit of the doubt that it’s because he doesn’t think he has the right players for anything else, but his system in TO was also a system that only works in regular season.
English
After hearing that Sunny Mehta presser I am even more convinced that Sheldon Keefe is safe. #NJDevils
Singsy@Singsy24
With the #NJDevils hiring of Sunny Mehta I have a feeling Sheldon Keefe is safe, with caveats. Thoughts?
English
@stoolpresidente @spittinchiclets Because that franchise would have folded a long time ago without their Canadian fans.
English
Why they playing Canadien national anthem in Buffalo? Buffalo been out of the playoffs so long they forgot what country they live in?
English
English
@SunnyMehtaX @emoadult @NJDevils Love this Sunny. You are most welcome. Here are some suggestions.
Hamilton, Mercer, and at least a 1st round pick for Knies.
Sign Patty Kane, Sundqvist, Greer as ufa.
Resign Mercer and Grits to bridge deals.
EXTEND NICO.
English
Fellow @NJDevils Fans,
Wake it up. Shake it out.
Does anything still move you since you're educated now?...
Do you believe there's still some magic left somewhere inside our souls?
English
@The_VZA_ @NHLRumourReport There is nothing wrong with Allen, one of the best backups in the league on a fantastic contract. They need a true #1, and Marky ain’t it.
English
@NHLRumourReport Get Marty the fuck out. Markstrom and Allen are his calls.
English
Darren Dreger: Re Devils: I look at Jamie Langenbrunner; clearly has history and I'm sure a decent relationship with Marty Brodeur; Brodeur is going to be very involved in how this process unfolds in hiring the next General Manager - Ray & Dregs (4/8)
English
@jp_gambatese He’s been a star in every international competition he’s played in and average (with flashes of brilliance) with NJ. Have to think the coaching/system isn’t working for him. He’ll be one of those players who gets traded for weak return and becomes a star somewhere else.
English
Nemo’s been really killing me lately. I want him to succeed but man, the defensive lapses and dumb plays really get me going sometimes.

@Corndogdreams @Spiralout_one @StatBoy_Steven Especially when working that “finicky” latch is your only job!
English
@CDNEastCoaster @Spiralout_one @StatBoy_Steven "Finicky" describing the simplest latch mechanism known to mankind is certainly a take.
English
Firing someone for this?
Nah. Fuck off.
Are head coaches being fired for playing players through injury? No.
I like Jon Cooper but arguing for an arena employee to be fired is ridiculous. Easy to shout that from your ivory tower with millions in your bank account.
Gino Hard@GinoHard_
Jon Cooper is calling for a penalty box attendant to lose his job after Pontus Holmberg was injured tonight when he fell into an open door 🤕😬 "I don't know who is working the penalty box over there, but I don't know if they should keep their job after what happened there. Like, leaving the door open. That could have hurt anyone on either team."
English
@Spiralout_one @StatBoy_Steven It’w not a finicky latch, he had the bar up and was holding the door closed with his hand to quickly open the door door when the time runs out. Most do that, but what he forgot was you have to keep watching the play and latch it if the play is close. Big costly mistake.
English
@StatBoy_Steven Mistakes happen and those box door latches are finicky. That’s a bad look for a coach to suggest someone gets fired for it. Could it happen? Sure. Should a coach put that out there? No

@ryanwhitney6 Devils fans saw it coming. Best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour…
