We need to lock these guys up and soon. I cringe at the thought of the flyers or NYR picking them up and preening them into devil slayers.

I have to agree with your take here. BB, Severson and Blandisi have to stay. I would like Noesen too.

I'd be alright if there is not a single change to the offense through trade or free agency. I'd like to see more of Q, Speers and McLeod.

Actually some tough calls on this list. I first read the Severson figures and thought "no way" but with the rate for d-men these days that's a decent gamble to take. I'd do that for him.

I know the numbers suggest Bennett is a solid contributor, and at a decent figure I'd say re-sign him, but I don't see the stardom that Todd sees in him.

Blandisi has to stay. His leash was a little shorter this year and he responded well. If nothing else you pay to keep him and figure out what you have. Same with Noesen, 1 yr-deal only.

JJ can't leave soon enough. He can go catch up with Tedenby.

Adios JJ! Kinkaid is gonna move on to start somewhere or move into a situation where he's in a much more active platoon role. He'd be nice on Dallas to form a tandem with niemi or lehtonen. Time for the Devils to bring up Wedgewood to be the backup.

In all honesty... Noesen, Kinkaid, Severson...

I say keep Kinkaid, trade Schneider, even at lower value. You gonna tank, tank right.

I think jj is perfect for our fourth line. Also they should keep him around to piss of devsfan30.
