NJ Devils TRADING their 1st Rd Pick for A Goalie like Markstrom, Ullmark, Saros, or Gibson? 

The 10th overall pick is NOT enough to land the top goalies out there~! Not a prayer! Put up a serious offer.

Ullmark for sure.

I can see us getting ullmark. Maybe some retention on the bruins half because we've had some good trades with the bruins over the years

Markstrom's age and his up-and-down season by season record makes me far less interested in him than Ullmark. If the Devils had a legit stud in development that was looking to be the heir to the throne, then I would be more ok with the idea of going after Markstrom, but that's just not the case right now. Ullmark is going to cost more, especially in an extension, and we'll have to give up a juicy package for him, but he's much more likely to be the goalie who is going to be a top performer for longer with a proven track record of being an elite goalie. I hate to think of who we would have to say "goodbye" to in order to make the trade work, but if we truly want to make this big step forward, we have to be willing to make that sacrifice.

Not sure that either of these guys really make a ton of sense for us tbh. Markstrom had a good year after a bunch of up and down years and is going to be 35. Then we have to revisit this in two years and potentially spend draft capital/prospects on a goalie again? Ullmark could be worse with one year of control left and while I also think he’s a good goalie and younger, we saw him play for a few teams with worse defensive structures than the Bruins and he wasn’t able to bail those teams out so I’m not sure he would be that guy for us unless we fix our defensive structure too. Also he may price himself out right after this contract. It sucks because going for the bargain goalie has skewers us a few times now, but I’d be looking at guys like Gustavvson, Adin Hill/Logan Thompson, Anthony Stolarz just had a great year, maybe even Jordan Binnington depending on where the Blues think they’re at right now. Based on goalies available, I’d opt to keep pick 10 or move for a cost controller too 6 winger for Jack or a top 4 LHD and trade Siegenthaler just to upgrade.

PLEASE GET ULLMARK!!!!!

2 minutes to midnight! Keep up the good work!

I like Markstrom as well for the reasons you gave. He’s cheaper and won’t cost a fortune on a future contract. Regardless the team should be busy this summer , I’m looking forward to it.

There's pros and cons with no matter which way you go..I like Markstrom for the fact that he's under more control, he'll be cheaper to get as far as assets and in a couple yrs daws could be ready or another goalie may be on the market and just do it again..I like Ullmark better but you would have to give up a ton to get him and you're gonna have to pay him a ton

Gotta take a chance on Saros. Preds don't want to pay him reports say and he would fit perfectly in our current roster timeframe

Ullmark

No way they trade the 10th pick for Markstrom...he's gonna be 35 before the end of the next season.

Ullmark may not waive & Boston (in theory) would want the moon. Nashville is crazy if they trade Saros & not seeing that as a real trade option. Markstrom is kind of tailer made starter (can actually play 60 plus starts/be no questions asked starter in series) & has already waived to go to NJ. Any other goalie is more the same of what NJ did last year. Offer 10 & ask for prospect/late 1st from Cgy & maybe they eat salary or take Jake Allen & goalie is set for the now to go around a strong up and coming roster.

...like buying a used car. The buyer complains and devalues to the point where, the seller is not interested. Curiously, the draft itself is oft laden with players who don't work out. Many of them take a while to be NHL-ready. Interestingly, teams will fling 1st round picks around right before the playoffs on players who don't work out, get hurt, don't produce, and don't sign.

Markstrom woukd be great ullmark also we should see.

What about not trading the 10th over all and look to sign Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. Free agent and looking for like 5 a year for 5 years

Markstrom is a stellar goalie on a weak team. Ullmark became the second string goaltender on a great team. If you want to gamble and have someone younger and for more of a runway, Ullmark is your man. If you want guaranteed immediate success, than Markstrom is the guy. I believe NJ wants immediate success.

I really want maelstrom

For the 10th overall pick flames should sweeten the deal markstrom & 2nd or markstrom retain plus a mangypantie

New coach, new system, Hamilton back, 10th pick in a deep draft. Start the season with Allen/Khakonen

I hope it's not overages markstorm.. we need someone to be good for a few years not one

IDK how much of a #1 goalie Ullmark is right now. Devils need a goalie that can play close to a full season and be ready come playoff time. I think 2 years ago proved that Ullmark is at best a guy who can start 50 games. And even then he wore down by the playoffs Yeah I'd take him cause he represents an upgrade at goalie and there are only so many decent ones that will be available. But for the 10th overall pick? No way. I could see Markstrom having a finish to his career like Bobrovsky is currently having, if he finds his way onto a contender. Still not giving up the 10th pick for him either though. If those are the values of either of those guys, I'd hope another team pays it.

Boston media is mentioning that the fit would be perfect…Devils using the pick to acquire Ullmark. Depends on which teams are on his no trade list

I don't know if the Devils are willing to commit big dollars and term to a tender who has mostly thrived in a tandem situation. If so Ullmark is the guy. If they want a guy who is a bona fide #1 and can take 60 starts a year when healthy, Markstrom is the guy. Outside of those issues, Markstrom has played on a team whose d' has been suspect and has faced a lot of high danger chances. He was 2nd in HDSV in January before the Flames fell apart. Plus he would be way cheaper to acquire as I am sure negotiating an extension for Ullmark would be critical in the deal. IAnd as mentioned by the host, Markstrom could be re-signed and used as a mentor if mgmt. believes one of the many goalie prospects they have signed can be a future starter. What I think would make sense for both teams is Markstrom + the Flames' 1st round pick they acquired for Lindholm from Vancouver (28th overall) for 10th overall from NJ.

ULMARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I remember when Markstrom picked Calgary he said it was because it was the better team over Edmonton 😂

this is what Fitzgerald is doing; he was shopping for a goalie during the season, but kept running into high demand trade prices by other GM's exploiting the low supply of tradable quality goalies. he is now using his 1st round pick as obvious bait for teams looking for draft picks this time of year and attempt to put supply and demand back towards his favor a bit

Markstrom and 28th pick for Devils 's 10th pick

Markstrom can go to Toronto lol

I think the will keep the 10th overall pick (they will NOT trade it). And I think the Devils will either trade for Markstrom or sign Ilya Samsonov to a multiyear contact in the offseason.

Don’t trade the pick on a goalie

Filip Gustavsson

you make a good case or either way, i would lean ullmark your team doesnt really need a 10 th pick just net stability. as a caps fan sorry vanicek didnt work out, i was a fan of his in DC, he was better than samsonoff now neither look good, funny caps got kemperer and he had a bad year , caps have goaltending up the azz in hershey , if you want to trade hughes (lol) if you get either goaltender your a cup contendar IMO

If we trade for Markstrom we riot. Offer the 10th overall for Askarov

Saros no thank you

One thing that has been apparent in this year’s playoffs is that you need an elite goalie to have a decent chance at going deep. But most of these options aren’t that. Ullmark proved he can’t handle the pressure. Markstrom’s too old. I only like NO GOAL

Trading the 10th overall pick to a division rival or for a 34 y/o goalie are the kind of moves that get you fired.

Not the tenth for Ullmark, and Markstrom only if they're giving him away. Saros too expensive. Gibson too risky and they want too much. Resign Kappo, team was dogshit and he was good enough. If they had Kappo and Allen they would probably be good enough for the 8th seed even with the team being dogshit! Kappo and Allen with Daws and Schmid in the AHL would be fine. Worst Case make a trade down the road when better options are available. The Devils needs if they resign Kappo 2 years 4 mil. That's 2 mil a season. 1. A top 6 scoring winger. 2. They need an upgrade on defense. That means one or two of Bhal Marino Seigenthaler go. 3. They need to get a 3rd and 4th line center. 4. They need to make decisions on Palat(Do you keep him or try to unload him), do you move on from Holtz, do you lock up Mercer or bridge deal or trade. All of these are more important than wasting assets on an old goalie.

Holtz is a bust. Flames could get a 1st + elsewhere. The goalie market is tight right now, so any team looking to upgrade is gonna have to pay up. Ullmark declined to waive his NTC at the deadline and im sure Boston would have to think long and hard before they decided to help a conference rival become a contender.

Saros is too expensive for new jersry ullmark is 1 year left and thenmore than6mill after the 1 year madkstrom isexpierience butfor 2 years and gibson isnot thatlevel yet

Markstdom is cheaper for 2years b ut his 4 times off for injury 2were injury2were for being sick

NO MARKY. NO GIBSON, we need D D D D D and some 1B/1A Goalie...thats it! not super trade...no 1st rounder . Our goalies are still learning and may be better than any trade, who freakin knows?

Hopefully, Tom Fitzgerald is not dumb enough to trade the 10th overall for a long in the tooth , over the hill, goalie. While Fitzgerald has FAILED for half a decade in attempting to sign a real deal legitimate NHL goalie, he simply cant be dumb enough to drop the 10th for one. There are going to be loads of quality goalkeepers available. Keeping Allen, of course, is going to proven to be a mistake. .900 Save percentage is no bueno and par for the course in NJ. The 10th SHOULD go to acquire a real deal legitimate POWER forward or a legitimate gritty defenseman who....actually plays defense. Tom Fitz is on the hot season.

Ha Ha Ha, Not going to be Linus Ullmark as he's already nixed a deal to the Devils at the trade deadline, And Markstrom and Gibson aren't worth the 10th overall pick and Barry Trotz wants to re-sign Juuse Saros.

Markstrom is an idiotic move. It's the same bullshit that they've been trying to do for years. Band-aid the position the hope for the best in the future. Fuck that. Solve the problem now. Get Ullmark, give up the 10th and Holtz if need be. None of the goalies that are in the system are the answer. Ullmark and Saros are the strongest most logical answers. The time to win is now, we're past the "oh we're still developing, wait a year or two" phase.

We need to stop talking about markstrom. The guys 35. No thanks.

I'd like Ullmark, but I but you it's Markstrom... and in fact, I bet the deal is already done - which helped persuade Keefe to join.
