Le premier jour de l’ouverture de la LNH, Tom Fitzgerald a obtenu quelques joueurs qu’il voulait, mais il a perdu deux gros noms, Johnathan Marchessault et Steven Stamkos, au profit des Predators de Nashville. Les Devils du New Jersey ont pu ajouter Brett Pesce, Brendan Dillon et Stefan Noesen. Ils sont toujours à la recherche d’un ailier du top 6 pour les aider dans leur top 6, mais beaucoup de noms ont été signés aujourd’hui et retirés du tableau. #njdevils #brettpesce #brendandillion #stefannoesen #johnathanmarchessault #stevenstamkos

FIRE Tom Fitzgerald immediately 🔥
This team is going nowhere with these potato-cans & nobodies.
TRASH 🗑
Good signings for us and what we need . Def lost out last min on Marchy which sucks but there might be a trade still. Stammer for 8 mil just isn’t happening
We didn’t land any big fish, but overall I think it’s a bit disappointing. AI’ve got Siegenthaler on a VERY short leash, and am all for getting rid of him if he’s stinking the place up after 20 games. I’m also a bit concerned with the fact that other GM’s walk in at the last minute, and grab guys who we think we have close to signing. Stamps, or Marchessault would have been KILLER additions to the club. We’re STILL lacking the top-6 player from the wish list.
Love these signings
I thought Fitz has done a great job. The biggest issues last season were physical play, defense, and goaltending.
He's added:
G Markstrom
C Cotter
D Kovacevic
D Pesce
D Dillon
RW Noesen
Teams are no longer going to be able to push Nico, Hughes, and Bratt around where no one reacts or answers the Bell. These all aren't goons either. They can all play as well. Getting a Marchessault would have been exciting, but this team has vastly improved their situation. Fitz has made this team better for opening day.
Solid signings. They lost the biggest prize in kovolev but Dillon was second best hitting Sasquatch out there. Pesce I don’t like as much but he is a shutdown blueliner so will have to do, he wanted to play here and his dad made this happen.
Noesen is a great add for hitting, size and violence
Very solid day
Jack needs a winger in the worst way
Perhaps the Devils would sign Kevin Labanc from the Sharks and trade Dougie Hamilton, Jake Allen, Nathan Bastian, Nolan Foote, 2025 conditional 2nd- and conditional 6th-rounders, and 2026 1st- and 5th-rounders to the Jets for Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck and top prospect Rutger McGroarty.
Sorry to lose out on March but can't wait to see the guys we did get 😊 Necas and Tarasenko still out there 😮 LFGD 💥
Fitz did exactly what was needed in order to address the biggest issues with the team so far. Goalie situation: check. Upgrade the defense with defense-first players: check. Add sandpaper to the bottom 6: check. Could their be an addition still to pair up with Jack? Sure, but that's something that can be done via a trade. In fact, I think that's the only way this was going to get done anyway because there's going to be a need to shed some money if NJ expects to land a significant player to fill that role. AND… there's all summer to get this done, it doesn't all have to be done TODAY. People need to be patient and let Fitz try to get something done and not expect him to just throw crazy offers out there that make no sense. Even with this lineup as is, they're probably a 100 point team already.
With all due respect, Luke Hughes was garbage defensively, last year. He should be on the 3rd pairing and the 2nd PP.
Are Devil's fans gonna turn on him next summer when he comes of his elc and wants $9 million per?
Dougie Seigs, Pesce Luke, Nemec Dillon, Kovalevic. DeSimone and Hataaka extras.
Like the additions so far. Addressing the poor defense, goal keeping and softness of last season. Cannot wait until October. Lets Go Devils!
I’m glad we didn’t spend big today yet still got exactly what we needed! Great job Fitz, this team is going to be tough next season
I guess Fitz thinks big game hunting is actually quail hunting……oh well.
Another disappointing day from Fitz. I love the emphasis on getting 80 extra depth defensemen & bottom 6 forwards. Just leave the massive hole in the top 6 though. That isn't important. I have no interest in seeing Palat or Mercer in the top 6. They don't belong there. There was a lot of talk about big game hunting. Fitz did not deliver. Anyone surprised at this point?
