In this episode, Zach Berman dives into the New Jersey Devils’ trade deadline scenario, highlighting the uncertainty and anticipation surrounding the team’s direction as they’re currently 11 points out of playoff contention. He notes that this is one of the most significant trade deadlines in recent history for the Devils, with insiders unsure if the team will buy or sell. Based on their standings and roster situation, Zach Berman leans toward the Devils becoming sellers, focusing on which forwards could be dealt and what potential returns they might bring.
He discusses several key players on the roster and their trade eligibility. Timo Meier and Jesper Bratt are not expected to be moved due to no-movement clauses, while Jack Hughes is considered untouchable. Nico Hischier has a modified no-trade clause, and although his future contract and long-term value are debated, Zach Berman doesn’t foresee him being traded at this deadline. Dawson Mercer, despite a disappointing season, is seen as a valuable trade asset but is predicted to stay unless a significant shakeup occurs. Conversely, Cody Glass, who has exceeded expectations, is likely to be traded for picks or prospects, which Zach Berman laments.
The episode also examines depth and fringe players who could be moved. Stefan Nason, despite injury struggles, and Evgeny Dadonov, who has failed to put up points this season, are both candidates to leave, especially if the Devils can recover any assets for them. Paul Cotter is mentioned as a possible trade chip due to his flashes of skill, while other younger prospects and recently acquired players are less likely to be moved.
Wrapping up, Zach Berman predicts that Cody Glass, Stefan Nason, potentially Paul Cotter, and Evgeny Dadonov will be traded by the deadline. He expresses frustration with the team’s management, calling for a new GM and cautioning against Tom Fitzgerald making major roster moves. The episode ends on a slightly optimistic note regarding young goaltending prospects, suggesting that the Devils’ goaltending situation may soon improve.
