What would it take to get one of the Predators defensemen and which one? That team needs a shake-up of some sort. If Hall isn't resigned by July 1st I would trade him for Subban straight up and then look to move Vatanen for some forward help.

If Hall does resign, can the Devils trade Vatanen and other pieces to the Preds for one of their defensemen? The Preds are going to have to pay Josi at least $9.5-10 mil. The Devils can trade Vatanen and the Preds can give him a contract around $5-6 million. The Preds will get a cheaper right-handed defenseman. What other pieces can the Devils offer?

My question is do the Devils re sign Vatanan and for how much? Nobody has been really talking about him and his contract is up next year.
- devilspep



Based on what dmen get paid he’s probably in the 6 mil per range, bigger question is how much term.

Mike Rupp thinks it's a good idea for the Devils to inquire on Jake Gardiner.

What. As in, not high.

Sometimes these things come spilling out of my brain. It's better then some of the other voices. Trust me.

But seriously, I was just joking around. We aren't trading for Larsson even if he is the type of defender we need. BUT COULD YOU IMAGINE THAT poop GOING DOWN? Dogs and cats sleeping together. Biblical poop. End of days... sorry I'm rambling again.

I was serious about the Mojo-Marchand locker room part. What was that like???
Hall and Larsson would probably laugh. awkwardly.

Go Devils.

I’d love to get Larsson back, but I seriously doubt Edmonton considers trading him. They are going to be looking to unload the Russel and Lucic contracts, maybe Sekera too.

The sad fact is Gardiner would represent an upgrade on our left side. Could happen.

Rupp's a fourth line plug who scored one memorable goal in his career. What does he know?

Rupper is an interesting guy. I’m not saying anything bad about a guy who scored his first career hat trick against the NY Rangers.

Tyler Myers makes his teammates worse, has terrible goals against numbers despite favorable zone starts, has giveaway numbers similar to John Moore and doesn’t generate enough offense to justify having him around. Better off running Vatanen, Severson, Carrick down the right side than spending money on Myers.

- smellmyfinger

Myers' numbers in Buffalo are astonishingly bad, and he only looks like a passable defenseman because the rest of the Jets are so good. It's unreal how long he's made it in the league based solely on the "he's big" factor. Just another reason to why a player's height is completely irrelevant.

Bored at work today and was looking back at some of the Nico/Nolan threads here from two years ago, and man were you UPSET when they drafted Nico over Nolan

I hope you're feeling a little better about it these days.

- MannySilvers

I still don’t like nico

I also don’t like the leash they have on nolan

He now works for the NHL network, so I'd say he knows...

The Canes played amazing in OT. One of the better games I have seen. What a comeback!

(frank) the crapitols. (frank) Tom Wilson and their POS coach who defends his poop.

Glad to see them lose and hope its the beginning of the end of that team.
I've had enough of them.
