Team: 2024-25 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: May 1, 2024

Published: May 1, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Offseason Plan:

1) Hire Mike Sullivan, Jon Cooper, Rod Brind'Amour, David Carle, or Craig Berube

2) Acquire a veteran dman like Brayden McNabb. He is a reliable 3rd pairing dman who brings a physical aspect to his game. He’d be a very reliable partner for a young dman like Nemec

3) Acquire Linus Ullmark. He makes the most sense when it comes to acquisition price, cap hit, age, and ability to play the position

4) RFA’s: After Mercer’s lackluster 23-24 season, it is best to bridge him at an affordable number until the end of Palat’s deal. The rest of the RFA’s are mainly depth pieces on cheap short term deals

5) UFA’s: In 22-23, the Devils were known for skating teams into the ground. That wasn’t the case with the 23-24 Devils. Adding a player like Duclair and bringing back Tatar will inject more speed into the lineup. Fischer is also an improvement over Bastian as he’ll provide both his size and some offensive ability

6) Draft Sam Dickinson or Zeev Buium

Ah yes, the Flyers have who have left 10 players in the organization that are primarily right wingers are going to trade for another right winger

Await the "any team" comment...but by context I get he just wants to move him

I would say the bottom 6 is very weak and would still need to be addressed

No money to spend. This is the price range of players we’re looking at

This ACGM is kind of similar to mine. I think that’s a way too generous of an offer for Linus Ullmark. I’d much rather retain Alexander Holtz because I imagine his extension in the summer of 2025 won’t be expensive. Retaining Holtz would be one way to relieve the money strain on this roster. There wouldn’t be a need sign Christian Fischer for $1.5M which would save a bit of money.

You set the cap nearly 2 mill too low

Nope. That’s the Devils cap in 24-25

The bonus overages are automatically worked into cap friendly. You’ve double counted. The cap is 87.7
