If the Devils value Robertson and he would like to sign an extension with the Devils, I think the trade package presented above would be satisfactory for Dallas but slightly rich for the Devils although we did just acquire 2 first round picks in the Nemec trade. We would need to move out cap space anyway to sign him and these are 2 useful players Dallas would like plus you add in 2 1st round picks and this pretty much lines up with the offer sheet value of 4 1st round picks. I think the Devils need to gamble a little and take a shot at a premium goal scorer like this to start our 5 year contention window now.

Just wanted to pop in and congratulate you on all your success in the near future. You got the best exec from our organization (panther fan here). I was too salty to do this earlier because i was still mourning his loss, but you seriously have no idea what you have here and how excited you should be.

Sunny was instrumental in turning our franchise from the worst in nhl history over a 30 year span, into the leagues current best. Zito got all the credit but it was Sunny banging on the table to claim Forsling off waivers. He identified him as a top 5 defensive D that we could have for free. That is something that simply doesn't occur in nature. It was the single biggest factor in turning us around. The Tkachuk trade gets all the fanfare, but this was the actual biggest piece.

And even if you still want to stick with the Chuck trade, Sunny was a massive part of that as well, and some say the biggest part. He also had his hands all over our deadline deals that changed our playoff fortune in a massive way, like marchand and jones. And the "small things" he did like identifying the type of middle 6ers that would do well in our system like erod without whom i dont think we win either cup, certainly not the 1st one. He also pushed for Mikkola for the middle pair and hes been ridiculous for us as well. And lets not forget the amazing contracts he and zito co-negotiated. Yea the tax advantage helped, but the deals are cheap even adjusting for that.

Bottom line, you're in for something special. I truly believe that no current GM has done anything close what Zito and Sunny have done in the cap era. Zitos been a bit weird since Sunny left. His moves have me scratching my head a few times in a way i havent since the tallon era. Including the deal you just crushed us on. I'll remain a fan of his since hes the best GM we've ever had, but it may have been Sunny that deserves the lions share of the praise. Either way, our roster is pretty set in stone going forward so his work was mostly done here. Enjoy your upcoming golden age and woe to anyone who makes a deal with the devil.

I would say he needs to play more with Jack Hughes (and probably Bratt too). I know Connor Brown was hot with Hughes/Bratt at the end of last season but Gritsyuk is the future.

He should be closer to 17-18 minutes a night than 15.

I love this kid. Such a good outlook and personality. Love hearing him talk about his teammates (sometimes unprompted lol)

Saw a post in the past couple days on r/nhl about the rivalries between NJ/NY/Philly and seeing flyers/rags fans talk about how they are the majority at the rock when they play us. I found it pretty funny, because every time I've gone to watch us play them at the rock, you see a huge sea of red lol. Dont get me wrong, there's always a good amount of rags and flyers fans, but they're nowhere near the majority in our arena.
