Tarmo Reunanen signed, adding more depth to an absolutely packed left defense side. I don't know anything about him, but NYRTwitter seem to love him. Think he may have top-4 potential. Boy would it be nice to rid ourselves of Staal and Smith. Get cap space and free up minutes for the young guys.
Meanwhile, we're still getting either Jack Hughes or Kaapo Kakko, but it remains to be seen what our neighbors across the Hudson may do. Either way, both guys should be stars. We also have the #20 pick, and we have two late second rounders.
I met Rod Gilbert for the second time in my life...that was cool.
So that's it for now. Haven't heard much from the JD/Gorton camp, as everything so far has been kept under wraps.

Every reputable scout and scouting service has Hughes 1st and Kakko 2nd. Plus you have to think with the Devils strong ties to USA hockey (Shero and the Coach) they almost have to select the unanimously higher rated American Hughes - at least that's my read.
It certainly seems that way. Hughes 1 and K 2.

I don't mind it. Glass, the player was absolutely atrocious, but the guy is no dummy (went to Dartmouth), he was seemingly very well-liked in the locker room and actually seems like a really good dude off the ice. And frankly, he made the most out of his (very) limited skillset by carving out an actual lengthy NHL career.

That backhand from the face off over Price's shoulder still haunts me.

The skill on that play was off he charts. Don’t beat yourself up - Price had not shot. Summer clinics are teaching kids across America that technique.

I love Cozens, but why another C? Do they think Andersson isn't a C?
I would make that trade too - also clears cap space for Panarin.

I literally only watched and know about Hughes, Kakko and some of Moritz Seider so I'm going to defer to you on this.
If you take Lucic back, you don't give up Kreider IMO.
Lucic is a crippling contract for a cap strapped team, to bail them out of that you don't also give Kreider even if you get #8.
But he is a player I'd target on a team with cap space.
but I'd want a quality player back and now that Draisatl proved he could "carry a line" I'd target Nugent-Hopkins who is really a 2c playing 3c for EDM.
Yep. Seems like a foregone conclusion.
Yeah, you either give them Kreider or you take on Lucic. Doing both is extremely stupid.
Most of the cash is already paid, so it may be relatively less of a liability for a small market team that doesn't come close to spending at the cap limits.
