Just the basics. Bigger swing on D and G. Probably bottom 6 upgrade.

there's always room for dawson mercer, and the article is stupid.

"Let’s just send this PSA now. Mercer is not for sale. The Devils laughed when his name was even mentioned in Timo Meier negotiations. He is untouchable. That won’t stop people from making up rumors. Just watch them and laugh. That’s the best thing we can do."

To play Devil's advocate, where? He's a natural centerman. 3C? Or you moving Cozens down a line? That's without considering any of the prospects.

Unless you want to fight like seagulls outside a Jim's Steakout, I suggest you renounce your blasphemous ways.

he's versatile and can and does play wing.

let's go ahead and pretend he's traded to Buffalo without the use of a player. Yeah you take Olofsson's spot and make Jost rotational, he can play mid 6 wing and 3C.

This isn't even a question. You would actually use Savoie to get him.

You're not, it's not happening, but if we're on NHL 24, that's what you're doing.

Fair. Everything I've seen from him says he deserves to play the spine, but agreed on Savoie+. He's the real deal. Not surprised the Devils are laughing, I wouldn't trade him either.

We have a Tarasenko. His name is Victor olofsson.

No thank you. Big name but old and slow

- Sabretooth9

Tarasenko 2 years from now will be 2x the player Olofsson will be in his prime. Not really a comparison

Just a reminder that drafts aren’t always “loaded”

Vitaly Kravstov who’s no longer in the NHL is still a first rounder in this “redraft”

Third liners are in the top 10.

You. Should. Trade. Picks. Now.

I agree, especially with the depth we have in prospects.
I can only think of 3, 4 drafts in the last 10 plus years that a decent load of first rounders panned out to be legit NHL’er. 2015, 2019(but still a bit early to tell) 2020 (still a bit early)

And if I had a dollar for every time we called a young player a bust, only to see them turn into solid NHLers, I would also be able to retire to my own private island. From my boy Reinhart to Quinn to Dahlin to Tage...it does seem to goes both ways.
