Description

Focused on Defensive and physical players and hope that the scorers remember how to score on the PP again.

Kept the cap low to sign JJ, Quinn, and Bryan next year.

One think I wish I could have gotten is a scoring winger for the 3rd line but I guess we’ll have to see how Kulich and Rosen do.

I kept Skinner because there’s no way he’ll waive to Chicago, Utah or San Jose.

Let me know what you think!

Devils pass on that Marino offer and would very much outbid that McLeod offer

John Marino trade just doesn’t make any sense for NJ. If a defender is on the way out of Jersey this year, it’s most likely a non Hughes lefty and for an upgrade to the NHL roster
