The devils always get ravaged by injuries
That’s probably the biggest devils fan on the planet let’s weigh in.
Sheldon Keith is a great coach. I think his job is very safe. I think the team really enjoyed playing for him compared to Lindy Ruff.
The defense and goaltending is great. But we either need to make room for Casey and or Nemec or we look to make a big trade. We also have to make room for Quinn Hughes who is coming soon.
Offense and health are the only concerns for the devils. We need the team to stay healthy and we need to shake up the lineup to get more scoring. Bastian goes. Tatar goes. Dowling goes. We need a top 6 winger and then we need to revamp the bottom 6 wings
NJ dodged a huge bullet in 2017 by opting to pick Hischier over Patrick,but if they would have picked Makar…
I am hopeful of this team. The first thing is they need to let every UFA walk, none are worth bringing back. Second is to lock up L. Hughes for 6-8 years, stagger it between when other resigns will happen. Third is they need to move Haula, even if its for futures, need the dump. Then look to sign Van Riemsdyk or other physical ufas. Glass can be resigned if cheap enough. Do not trade for Quinn, unless you can get him to play LW, we don't need him on defense. Daws becomes backup to Markstrom. They brought Gritsyuk over, so build a 4th line around him. If they can trade Palat for something worthwhile, do it.
I think Dougie should stay for 1 more year at least, either to prove he can perform or just a stopgap for Silayev. Yegorov should still play in NCAA and juniors for a bit, but I think he will be able to make it straight to the NHL sooner rather than later.
I think Keefe and Collington did a good job and I am glad they let the other bench coaches out. I think the Ruff holdovers were starting to conflict with Keefe in the second half and could be partly the reason the team struggled halfway through, at times they started looking like more of how they played under Ruff. I also heard they are looking to fire Rogolski as goaltender coach if they can find a qualified candidate.
Overall it looks like Fitz is going to be true to his words, they fired the holdover coaches and are bringing Gritsyuk and Lemeenaho over which is indicating that the bottom six will be shook up. The UFA market is pretty weak in goaltending and defense, something they don't need to worry about. The UFA is also really center heavy, and some names on RW, but I expect some bad contracts being signed this year. If they want a top six forward, they need to trade for him in my opinion, especially if they can move Haula and Palat.
buyout palat, forcefeed jack hughes, take a run at Ehlers/Boeser and decide what Nemec is for the future. We have a crowded right side and Fitzy can’t fumble Nemec like he did with Holtz. Either Kovacevic/Dougie gets traded or Nemec does. He needs a real chance with the NHL club. Gritsyuk is also interesting
Jack Hughes will probably never play a full season given his relatively small stature, most opponents have their elbows at the perfect concussion height, even when they aren't trying to injure him on purpose.
Where do you get those hats?
Everyone’s saying to sign Quinn. With $12M in space, Luke to sign, and a bottom-six to revamp, I’m not quite sure how that happens.
Perhaps they replace Haula (big disappointment this year, IMHO). Maybe even trade Hamilton, who (through no fault of his own) just isn’t as effective on-ice under Keefe’s system as he was under Ruff’s. Maybe trade Palat and find another top-six to replace him.
All that is tough with $12M to work with. Even without pursuing Quinn it’s a tall order.
Loui Eriksson 6m for 6 years
Devils need a sports psychologist or an exorcist or some shit more than anything else. The most inconsistent team i've ever seen. When they were on their game they dominated good teams and you'd be wondering if they'd ever lose another game. Then the next night they'd come out and play completely disconnected and awful. Like, I watched every game this season and i still don't know who they are. I hope it's the team that was playing just before Christmas. Someone please figure out why they can't play like that all year long.
We still scored more goals in a five game series against the Canes than the Caps, but I digress…
The Devils are on the right track. Good health and non-AHL quality bottom six players are the final pieces. I’m starting to believe the Hughes haters that Jack won’t play many full seasons but he’ll have a few. And if all else fails, Quinn is coming over at some point. We’ll be fine.
Timo flashes plenty of potential to be a 30-40 goal scorer, but until then 8.8 million is a tad too much
produce offense without giving up too much defense?
Im surprised you didn't talk about Arseniy Gritsyuk.
3 seasons and 3 shoulder injuries. Jack Hughes won’t be doing any strength training…again
Tom "Booze Face" Fitzgerald must be fired 🔥
Overpays for every FA and missed every deadline
NJ will never win with Booze Face as GM 🔥
I believe the bottom 6 will be all different and Luke will be on a team friendly deal for 1-2 to prove himself before he gets the big contract.
They tanked from 2013-2021, got two first overall picks which are both first line centers, countless other top picks and still can’t do shit 😂
I think, Luke gets 8×8… Palat & Haula gone… They need to try to trade Hamilton… (he's not needed anymore) Need a decent wing to play with Jack and reinforce the bottom 6.
Was a mistake for Hughes to play 4 nations. They beat the crap out of him. They love the Swiss connection the way Dallas love the Finns.
I get the Jack needs to be healthy bit, but let's be real here superman himself would have missed the rest of the season after getting tripped from behind and going into the boards like that.
What should the devils do? Trade Hamilton, Palat, Mercer, and picks for Quinn Hughes. Sign Brock Boeser. Offer sheet Mason McTavish. Give Luke everything. Ask bratt and Hughes who they want on their line and do whatever is necessary to get them
Injuries crushed momentum—Devils just couldn’t finish chances.
NJD made a good run. No shame.
Devils will get Quinn this summer along with either Peterka or Rossi and will be a wagon next yr
you forgot kovacevic just signed his extension at the deadline and glass is a rfa acquired at the deadline
devils need a retool of the bottom 6 and a 2nd line winger, what killed the devils other than injuries was a lack of depth scoring, the bottom 6 just didnt produce they way they should have, and when the top 2 lines struggled the team usually got shutout.
no. Lack of character derailed them.
Utica comets did pretty decent in round one, in hindsight
I was kind of hoping fans and players on NJ would somehow blame their coach for lack of play-off success, fire Sheldon and have him go to Anaheim somehow ^_^. But…I can dream I guess.
Shannon, did you do a video yet on Anaheim's new coach? I'm definitely not happy about it.
Devils hired Greg Ackerman off the Seattle Mariners a couple weeks ago specifically for injury prevention so hopefully that helps
Their 5 on 5 play fell apart at both ends of the ice after Christmas. The were below NHL .500 after Christmas before injuries could be the major reason. Teams figured out how to pressure the Devils on their side of the red line and the Devil's grit and shot blocking game got less intense. Their bottom 6 forward group did nothing all season, Haula's game collapsed and he might have aged out of being a capable 3C.
If it weren't for spectacular special teams, very good goaltending and playing in a soft division they would have missed the playoffs again.
Markstrom's numbers are hurt because of a series of rough starts after returning from an injury, from Thanksgiving to mid January he was one of the best goalies in hockey.
91 points is the lowest point total ever to earn a 3rd place seed in the present playoff seeding system. It was tied with Montreal and would have put them in 10th place in the West.
Tom Fitzgerald is culpable, the problem is more than injuries (playoff blueline injuries is not his fault. He paid extra for cap sharing on Markstrom (why no first this season) and DuMoulin at the deadline and did not end up using this because he let the market pass him.
Devils fans have to be the most reactionary bandwagoners in the nhl…maybe just below Toronto. I dont think any team went and won the cup after having a couple good seasons. Every team deals with injuries to young players, every team takes time to mature and put the right team together…
The devils are in a fantastic spot for the future, no need to tear everything down now because of a couple bumps in the road.
Thanks, Shannon! another quality video. Bastian has to go, I time my fridge runs to when he is on the ice because when he is there, the Devils are practically guaranteed not to score. in fact, Imo, Bastian, Lazar, Dowling, Tatar, Dumoulin, and Allen should be let go. Allen played well but Daws needs to grow and is on a cheap contract and Sprong had moments and is probably 50/50 to return. Finally, Lazar was not the same after his injury, if the team thinks he was not 100% all season, I could see them taking a flyer on him for $1 mill.
Let be my devils ! ❤❤❤
Any chance you’ll tackle the debacle that was the 2024-25 NYR? What happened in your estimation?
#FireFitz
Trade Dougie and be willing to eat a portion of salary in order to do so. Palat ( bad contract decision ) popular with teammates but must go either by trade or buyout. 50/50 on keeping Haula; maybe keep him and see if he bounces back. NJD are already short of centers and he at least is decent with FOs. Dump McDermid ( worse contract decision ) into Utica to lose his salary. Tartar moves on as UFA. I’d probably keep Bastian but at very low salary and short contract.
The really tough decisions are the Hughes brothers. Try to negotiate a short bridge contract with Luke. Once Jack is cleared to play….don’t play him. Force him to add bulk before he re-enters the line up. If he can stay in the line up, see what Canucks want for Quinn and arbitrage Luke staying with bargain contract so they can afford Quinn and unite all 3 brothers. If Jack is injured again, get what you can get and trade him. With that contract, someone will bite.
Hamilton’s injury and playoff performance history compared to his contract is an albatross around NJD neck.
The problem with NJ is that, like a lot of teams, they're good enough to make it, but they're not good enough to win it. They have a few good players, but let's be honest, nobody on that team will take time to the big times.
I think they should explore trading Dougie Hamilton. I think it’s time you move forward building up Luke Hughes as the #1 and Nemec becomes full time
I was kind of shocked at the depth of injuries to the D by the playoffs. Hughes has to stay healthy but he is not the entire team. Need some bigger faster guys who can score goals.
Need to mention Eric Haula as well. He does not carry an insignificant cap hit at over 3 million. He has a modified NTC after July 1 so he can be moved. And considering his point total this year should be.
Gritsyuk signing has the potential to be a big add for the Devils. He has an elite shot and shifty hands.
Silayev will not be coming to NJ until next KHL season ends, and I do think he will come to NJ when that happens. With him, Nemec and Casey all in the pipeline, and basically the entire defense locked up over multiple years, I think it’s safe to say one or more could be traded in a blockbuster trade in the near future.
Jesper Brett was undersold in this video. He set the Devils franchise assist record this season and likely would have had significantly more had Hughes finished the season. He is critically under valued and could be one of the best players in The NHL already.
Marner?
As a devils fan thus season was a roller coaster for sure. Before the christmas break they looked like they could make a serious run this year but then the new year hit and even before injuries showed problems with depth scoring. If anything positive is to come from this season is that Nico Hischier is a superstar in the making and the devils must do everything they can to build a cup contending team centered around him. The hughes brothers are great and all but nico is the literal heartbeat of this team
