If you can get Tavares or Carlson you do it. Especially Tavares. Some of you guys act like #1 elite franchise centers grow on trees.

Its only been over a week, when we lost our only viable defenseman (Vatanan) to injury and the series went south in a hurry. It didn't matter who was upfront for us in the last 5 1/2 periods, when you are either pinned in your zone, can't skate the puck out of your zone or make a tape to tape outlet pass. We need a DEFENSEMAN or two not another foward at this point. When you could look at your defensive core and could scratch 2 to 3 defenseman a night and be happy about it, your priorities are defenseman!

Which is why we are signing both J.T. and Carlson then trading the farm away for EK. BOOM!

Defense needs lots of work but lets not pretend our forward group is fine and dandy. The Lightning were able to focus exclusively on Hall and no one else on the team could step up.

Exactly. The Devils biggest need is #1 left defenseman. The second biggest need is a top 3 forward, preferably a RW or center. There isn't a #1 defenseman available on the market. If you think that that's John Carlson, you're just plain wrong. Carlson is going to be given way too much money for one good year. Weird how the guy that's been overrated for years finally has a season that lives up to his reputation just in time for a fat paycheck. I want nothing to do with John Carlson.

Tavares on the other hand, is not a generational player, but he's still bordering elite at this stage. The Devils probably aren't going to win his services, but Shero would be dumb not to give him a competitive offer. You can afford to overpay high end centers like Tavares, you can't afford to overpay lesser players like Carlson or JVR.
