Fitz may be the worst GM not named Ken Holland. Nothing he did today makes a lick of sense.

So.... NJ moves out a Dman from a depleted corps, moves out a scorer (albeit a UFA) for a mediocre draft return, but trades for a backup goalie.

They're obviously listening to their stellar analytics guys.

Dang this Fitz guy is a bozo.

Team outside of playoff picture sells pending UFAs. It is in fact a common thing

You are being obtuse. The disconnect here is spending assets on a backup who isn't very good.

Winnipeg made some excellent moves over the past while. Great work!

Was the return they sent for Jake Allen a pending UFA? Why did they trade for McDermid?

Just curious, if Allen at 1.9 mill isn't worth paying for, what is Vladar worth considering he has a higher cap hit and worse numbers in each of the last 3 years?

Allen is a test for this year and a 1 year commitment for next year.

[White Out 403]

Fantastic signing this is the kind of D depth that you need in the playoffs

2021-22:
Vladar: 13-6-2, 2.75 GAA, 0.906 Sv %
Allen: 9-20-4, 3.30 GAA, 0.905 Sv %

2022-23
Vladar: 14-6-5,2.83 GAA, 0.895 Sv %
Allen: 15-24-3, 3.55 GAA, 0.891 Sv %

2023-24
Vladar: 8-7-2, 3.21 GAA, 0.890 Sv %
Allen: 6-12-3, 3.65 GAA,0.892 Sv %

The only number I see that's better for Allen in the past three years is Sv % this year...by 0.002.

And Vladar is 7 years younger.

[Superfraggle]

And Allen's cap hit is higher; New Jersey just paid extra for Montreal to share it.

[Karl]

Decent trade for the Jerts.

I would've paid a 3rd for Colin Miller but I'm no GM.

Fitz is really screaming: FIRE ME PLEASE!

GSAx:

Allen: 0.8 this year, -2 last year, 2.98 2 years ago
Vladar: -4.14, -5.25, -3.89

You can use SV% and GAA if you want but it doesn't help your case when you try and sell Markstrom

[Enoch Root]

Damn I would be pissed if I was a Devils fan...

Talented young core that is trying to find their way. EVERYONE IN HOCKEY knows they need a goalie. But instead of getting the guy they determined they need, they go pick up a depth defenseman and a 3rd string goalie, and simultaneously trade away Toffoli and Miller.

Thanks for wasting a season Fitz!

[powderjunkie]

lol, people think Fitz is an idiot for NOT trading Mercer+ for the goalie everyone here thought was an immovable contract last year?
