L’espoir des Jets de Winnipeg, Rutger McGroarty, a fait savoir publiquement qu’il souhaitait quitter les Jets de Winnipeg. McGroarty a brillé à l’Université du Michigan et également avec l’équipe américaine au Mondial junior. Le directeur général des Devils du New Jersey, Tom Fitzgerald, devrait-il se renseigner sur la possibilité d’échanger ce jeune joueur ? Nous sommes à un peu plus de 24 heures du repêchage de la LNH, où les Devils du New Jersey détiennent le 10e choix au classement général. Le choix est-il en jeu pour McGroarty ? J’en parle dans cette vidéo.

A power forward with great potential?? Yes! But is he ready to play now? Can he be top 6?
Tomorrow, during the 2024 NHL Entry Draft in Las Vegas, the Devils will trade John Marino, Akira Schmid, Nathan Bastian, Nolan Foote, and 10th and 139th picks to the Jets for Connor Hellebuyck and Rutger McGroarty.
"Plays like a Tkachuk." 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀❗❗❗😳😳😳 #BringRutgerToNJ
If deal is 10th and Holtz for Ehlers, Mcgroarty and the 37th then I'm taking it all day. I would also do it for Casey straight up.
Largely with you though. Dream scenario is we use the 10th for Hagel from tampa or Kyrou from St. Louis(probably in a package deal).
This guy sounds great if they let him play in his shoes hahah
Id still rather trade that pick for a proven nhler not named necas
Tbh idk wtf is gonna happen. I just hope fitz dosent miss his target and panic buys like with palat.
Wat fowards do u want the devils to go after to put in the top 6?
Ace, thanks for the in depth dive! The foot speed is obviously a concern but I do think he could help this year. Also, his leadership and work ethic would be a nice addition. I figured he and Holtz are about the same speed and could be linemates. Lol
Im interested. Maybe the 10th and marino for him and their 2025 1st round. Make a serious go for zadorov, pesce. Then pick up henrique and give holtz a serious look
Based on previous similar trades, we should be able to get him for a second, and a reasonably decent prospect.
he is wearing cement skates so he's as slow as a turtle.
I've said this before, but I'd try to swap Holtz for McGroarty (maybe add in a 3rd or something similar). I like Holtz, but he's a project that at this point would do better as a trade piece and giving him a chance to play elsewhere would help him more than struggling to find a spot in the lineup. Does McGroarty have improvements to make? Sure, but put him in Utica to work on those issues and get him up to NHL readiness. If he doesn't pan out to be the top end of what he was projected to be, then what's the worst that happens? He ends up being a bottom 6 player. Pretty much the same situation with Holtz right now so it sure doesn't hurt NJ. I think it's a risk worth taking. But no, absolutely NO WAY that the #10 pick should be used to get him. I'd rather see that pick get used in the draft at this point. I don't think it's really necessary to trade it unless there's an offer that can't be turned down. I'd rather see Fitz draft at #10 and go hunting in free agency since there will be a lot of options there and it won't cost assets.
Rutger would be cap friendly, you didn’t bring up the money value. He brings beef!! I have been following Rutger and I believe he is NHL ready. He has many intangibles like leadership, and grit.
Yo Ace.. Agreed. Anyway it’s go time for Fitz
