I think the devils main pieces in a trade prospect wise would be:

Holtz, Casey, Schmid, Gritsyuk, Walsh and Daws

The 2024 first rounder can also now be used this summer in trades.

Sorokin/Saros or stick with Schmid

Trading Hart to the Devils will cost you way more than trading to any other team not in the division and probably way more than the Devils would want to pay. It’s not happening there’s no way either team would end up happy about the trade

If I had to guess the Bruins will trade Ullmark before Swayman to clear cap space

The way Bucky was talking about the playoffs and during the end of season interviews, I'm more inclined to believe he'll ask for a very reasonable salary if it's for a team with serious postseason potential.

I could see him signing for 4-5 AAV for 4-5 years with the devil's if it includes a NMC.

Send Vanacek and Blackwood back theoother way with a conditional second that becomes the 2024 1st if the devil's reach the SCF and bucky plays in over 50% of the playoff games.

My personal belief is you stick with the Vitek/Schmid duo for 23/24 and see how it works with a better team in front of them (Luke Hughes, Simon Nemec, Alex Holtz). However if really want to do this now then Hellebuyck is the move for this off-season. He wants out of Winnipeg and maybe pairing a ‘24 first and either Vitek or Schmid is a conversation starter. I don’t know what else I’d feel comfortable adding to that, Casey or Gritsyuk seem like it would be too much. If I’m getting Askarov then I might give up that much, but I firmly don’t believe Nashville moves him over Sarros l.
