Frank Seravelli recently reported that Tom Fitzgerald wants to shake things up this offseason. He has his eyes set on more offense (top-6 and bottom-6), defense (top-4 and bottom-4), and goaltending. That's a pretty lengthy wishlist. It won't be easy to make those moves work financially, but it's still doable. This offseason might get interesting for the New Jersey Devils.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about who NJ can trade away for pieces that Fitzgerald is looking for. Priority should be a top tier goalie and that should be done via a trade. But these other pieces can be snagged free agency. In fact, they could even go after Brossoit if they can't get a goalie via trade. As for forwards and defense, Tyler Bertuzzi is a great target for the middle 6 guy and Nikita Zadorov would be the ideal defenseman to shut down opponents. Both add a lot of grit and big hits and can add offense via scoring here and there or at least helping their teammates find space to shoot. I don't know who they would really need to jump into a top 6 spot but if there's someone that can come in and isn't going to break the bank, then let Fitz work some magic.

Fitzy needs to just pay up for markstrom. Marky is the best option out there for the devels

Why would anybody (GM's) Reveal to the media what your Ultimate future plans are Not to mention revealing what cards you hold in this Poker Game

I don't get the confusion. Looking at skaters, the Devils have 12 forwards (under contract/RFA) and 6 defenders (under contract). Usually, you have 21 skaters on the roster with 14F/7D (sometimes 13F/8D). That means we need 3 skaters to make a roster; and in that tweet just says he is looking to bring in 4 guys. Looking at the forward, it seems obvious. We have 2 open spots, he said we need 2 guys, seems open and shut to me. Fitz just stated one of the spots will be in the top 6; beyond the obvious guys (Hischier, Hughes, Meier, & Bratt), it gives one spot to a new guy and the last top 6 spot to one of: Palat, Mercer, Haula, or Holtz. Honestly the key thing there comes down to defense. Typically teams roster 7 defenseman, we have 6; so if he is looking for 2, THAT says something. Even if he wants to carry an a-typical 13F/8D, it means that someone is rotating and the numbers get crunched. So, if he does want to go with the standard 7D, it means one of the D might be on their way out. In the end, he really just needs to clear 1 roster spot to make that 2F/2D addition make sense. And, for all we know, this numbers "issue" might already be resolved. If we start the season with an injured player (Bastien & Hamilton, ended the season on IR, maybe they still are recovering? Or one of the guys who had surgeries this summer (hopefully not Hughes)?) the numbers work out. Another possibility is if Fitz does not plan to qualify one of our RFAs: Foote or Mercer (won't be Mercer). The final, easy, solution is roster numbers issue is to just send someone down to the AHL. All in all, I think the statement that we need 1 top 6 forward and 1 bottom 6 forward is obvious. Saying that we need a 2D is a bit more telling, but still makes sense. And this is all without trades being a factor.

@billbaker3357 2 месяца назад

Or we trade Bahl for Markstrom... I guess that also balances out the roster while needing to add 2F/2D

I just dont wanna see another dumb trade like the sharangovich one. Dont trade a young player off a down year for an old slow scorer on basically a 1 yr deal. I felt like i was the only one who hated that trade when it happened, ended up with nothing in the end. So yea, lets not trade mercer for a 1 dimensional old player on an expiring contract plz

BIG. GAME. HUNTING!

@Christopher_Penc 2 месяца назад

A bottom 4 defenseman & a top 4 defenseman? The 2nd pair defensemen are both.

@TractControlOff 2 месяца назад

Fitz is not going to strike gold by offering an expensive contract, aka Palat. Palat is staying. The top assets Fitz can dangle would be a sign-and-trade with Mercer, Holtz, Seamus Casey, the 10th overall pick and maybe a team sees value in Marino.

@reyrage15 2 месяца назад

I saw an interesting rumor that I could get behind but I know most devils fans would probably not like. It was a package dealing Mercer and the 10th overall along with next years second for Gibson with salary retention and Zegras. I think that would potentially resolve the two hardest holes to fill: top six forward and goalie. I’d hate to lose Mercer, but since Zegras has played with Hughes and can play center as well, I think it’s worth the gamble. We haven’t had anyone truly gel and stick with Hughes since his career started here and I can see the two of them thriving under Keefe. Gibson is younger than Markstrom, is a starter, and has term. His stats in Anaheim are up and down but Anaheim is arguably an even worse team than Calgary especially the last 5 years. I’d rather have Gibson, with retention; than Markstrom at the reported asking price. Defense and depth there are more options for through FA, including getting more physicality inserted into the lineup.

@moderndaydrifter4672 2 месяца назад

You could get Marky and mangapane with the same deal to the flames. Zegres is a cancer in the room you don't want that when your trying to win a cup.

@nickadams6537 2 месяца назад

Mangiapane is trash. Not paying 6 million for him. We already have a bum making 6 million that does nothing. We call him Ondrej Palat. Don't need to add another.

@1verge1 2 месяца назад

If they trade away that 10th pick and iginla ends up falling past calgary.... maaaaan

Time for Tom to go

@nickadams6537 2 месяца назад

I have zero confidence in Tom Fitzgerald. He should have gotten canned immediately after game 82. No GM did a worse job than him last season. If he thinks overpaying for an old & slightly above average Markstrom is going to excite people he can guess again.
