Thread: Only If Cole Eiserman is Available at 10
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>doaftheloaf</b></div><div>The Devils have interest in Xhekaj, but not this much.

First, as a Habs fan, I don't particularly want Eiserman. If I had the 10, I'd much rather go for Berkly Catton if available. Perhaps even Konsta Helenius. But that's if the Habs had the 10. We don't, and NJ does. And they have Hughes and Hischier down the middle, so I get the fit for Eiserman...although what he does is what they drafted Holtz to do, and Eiserman doesn't do anything else.

The deal as proposed doesn't come close to getting the Habs the 10, even without Anderson's contract weighing it down.</div></div>

The Devils DON'T Have Interest In Xhekaj, Or Anderson For That Matter. NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT

Fixed it for you :)

Thread: Devils Buy Ullmark
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HighlightrEhlers</b></div><div>Kahkonen was just a throw in, since I'm pretty positive he wouldn't stay with NJ if they got Ullmark.

As for Mercer, I just think NJ is gonna have to give an exceptional package if they want Ullmark because both I and the Bruins believe he is a legit cup contending starter and Boston doesn't need to trade him. I'll admit this package might be more than necessary; I don't scout teams to know if this is accurate, but I think an Ullmark package would look similar to this. Holtz, Kahkonen and a 2nd just won't do it.</div></div>

No they dont, if they wanna sign Swayman then they pretty much have to part with Ullmark, not saying they dont have the cap to do it without a trade but it puts them in a crunch to sign anything else they might need. Either way there is a negative zero % chance Mercer is included in any package for a goalie, just like there's a negative zero % chance the Bruins should let Swayman get an offer sheet because i can think of several teams that would break that upspoken rule of not offer sheeting RFAs just to get him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Berube was obviously out yesterday.

If he is telling a friendly reporter (Andy Strickland) that Devils are "too sensitive", its probably a good sign that Fitzy called him and said, "No"

He would not be bad-mouthing a team he is in the running for.

(I think Berube would have been a disaster)</div></div>

Unless there is a name out there that we havent heard about like (Leach, Pandolfo, Gronberg) i think its pretty much down to Woodcroft and Keefe and if im picking between those 2 then im going with Woodcroft for the simple reason that you can watch what toronto did in the playoffs this year and you can tell her lost that team, his message was not resonating, several years of similar finishes will do that to you, when Woodcroft was fired you can tell he hadnt lost the team, they were just going thru a rough patch as evidenced by their eventual turnaround, was that because of Knoblaugh? Probably not because he didnt change all that much of Woodcrofts system, even now they are still playing it. Watch the Oilers next year when Knoblaugh has had an offseason to tinker with his staff, system, etc i guarantee it will look different from Woodcrofts. Every new coach wants to make their own mark on a team. I suspect Woodcroft would do this as well, lets just hope its not the 1-4-1 that he deployed earlier this year, the Box+ seemed to work better when they switched to it.
