I'm a little confused as to why Bahl is so high on everyone's NJD wishlist though. Why do we need another lefty? Huge, local kid who is strong defensively and has a mean streak. Perfect fit for the bottom pairing who can free OEL up to play a more offensive role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not going to get the offensive usage behind Hughes and OEL in that scenario, to be successful. 3 - We could use some beef, defensive play, PK ability etc back there. I'd prefer Hague but Bahl's a solid option as well. And he's not really "high"" on my list. Holtz, 2ndOA, Sharangovich are all way higher. Bahl's just good sweetener. I don't really like the idea of using OEL on his off side tbh. If he's more comfortable on the left side, there's probably a reason why. Rathbone may not be a long term solution on the 3rd pairing, but we have him locked up for two years and a perfect partner to ease him into the league and get his value up in Schenn, so I dont really see a reason to make a move their quite yet. Not to mention we have Dermott as well. Just seems redundant to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is Jason Dickinson with a different name. An overpaid bottom 6 Center that can’t win enough facoffs to even stay at Center. I’ll pass on the overpriced bottom 6 wingers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might get a better angle on shots, but Hughes has a bit of a Muffin anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 1 hour ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: Realistically speaking, if NJ is hot and heavy on Miller, could the deal involve a pick swap? Miller alone isn't worth the 2nd overall, but he's worth more than the difference between 2nd overall and 15th overall. Not saying I want this to happen, but is something like this possibly in the cards? To the Devils JT Miller 15th overall To the Canucks Pavel Zacha 2nd overall To me this is about a perfect a fit for both teams as it gets. They turn up the heat next year in their competition and still get a good prospect out of it. We get that versatile C who can play W along with a potential star who could break into the league as early as this year but likely next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Was listening to Dan and Sat with Serevalli and they kept talking about the NJD’s and JT Miller. Also brought up Jesper Bratt and for a team with as much money as the Devils and why as an RFA he wasn’t signed yet. They thought maybe he’s their main piece in a proposed deal they have on the table for JT Miller. Haven’t really seem much of anybody dropping his name in any proposals so thought I’d mention it. They’ve also been linked to Garland I believe and wonder how much it’s worth to have a guy locked in on a good contract and if not JT Miller could they be crazy enough to go Garland for Bratt?

He stat line isn't terrible, and if you look at his highlights he has flashes of brilliance. But if you listen to people who watch him regularly, media or fans, it tells a very different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guys gonna be a stud and could be ready as soon as next season. He also represents more of the same on the Devils. A Pettersson-Holtz duo could be electric. I've been tooting the holtz horn hard for a couple months now, just in a deal involving Hughes, not miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who took way to many hits. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is most of the people I also see talking bad about him are NJD fans. They talk about him a lot in the ways we talk about Dickinson. I’m just not wanting another bottom 6 winger that’s looking to make 3.5 million. They say he’s big but plays soft and can’t win faceoffs so while listed as a Center plays the wing. We can’t waste cap space by spending so much on meh bottom 6 pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
