Now we have 2 young, but also light, stud defenseman. This year it's more important than ever to protect Dougie, get some rugged D vets, and schedule the weight room at all costs.

Yo Ace..I think your correct with your foreshadowing. Casey's value may never be as high as it now, and now is the time to trade him.

I feel like every video no matter what it's about is gonna have a Brady mention..Lol

Idk man, for all the talk about how small Casey is, dude is a lot more muscular than you'd expect & he's excellent in his own zone despite his size, very similar to Quinn Hughes. People said the SAME shit about him (& Lane Hutson) when they were at NTDP, "just wait till NCAA". And now it's "Just wait till the NHL". I mean a kid proves himself a superstar in AAA youth hockey, then in the USHL w/the NTDP, then in NCAA D1 at UMichigan...and you STILL doubt him? Ridiculous. Watched a ton of him at UMichigan this year & kid is smart, his #1 focus is winning body position in puck battles which mitigates most of a size disadvantage. And IMO Casey's most impressive on D zone retrievals. The kid shoulder checks multiple times like it's an involuntary reflex while heading back, so he's aware when pressure is coming. And even when F1s are right on top of him, dude DOES NOT RATTLE. Casey has ice in his veins & is totally comfortable baiting F1. But as soon as the F1 bites on a feint or weight shift & realizes his mistake...it's already too late bc Casey's either: -made an outlet pass + jumped into the rush as F4 -cuts laterally on a dime when F1 turns his skates & slices through the neutral zone before dumping it in -dances past opposing D structures for a controlled entry & perhaps a shot on net Kid has such a deep bag of tricks bc he's an elite skater, capable of utilizing curls, delays, pivots & cutbacks to buy time as needed. If they get rid of Casey, mark my words: The Devils will come to rue the day their lack of patience caused them to give away franchise defenseman w/truly electrifying skills.

Agreed, we have too many of the same kind of defenseman: smaller, good skaters, puck movers, and/or offensive minded. Even Hamilton is in that category despite his size. So Luke, Nemec, Hamilton, Marino, and now Casey. Too many. I would think a lot of teams will want this kind of player though, so I'd be fine trading Casey.

Did you hear Travis Green to Ottawa?

As far as a Tkachuk trade with Ottawa, Casey definitely fills a need Ottawa has for a right shot defenseman, as well as second top 10 pick in this draft, and a Winnipeg 2nd rd pick in 2025. I feel that they would want a motor guy like Mercer (under a reasonable contract) to round out the trade. Do you think that is enough to move the needle?

I don’t know where Casey would ever fit on this team. They don’t need anymore small players. Add him to the trade pool and do something smart this offseason with the Devils assets. 100% with my Bracket. I’d post a picture for proof if it was possible. 😊

He looks great, but hit the weight room... please 🙏

Anybody have any bets as to whether we'll finally have an NCAA draft pick play on the Comets?

He’s south Florida born, thus take great care of him! How many games do you think panthers will defeat the bruins in?

Stats are great but he's going to be shut down and abused by the bigger bodies. We need a big body that is relentless. Might as well call the Batman and find out where Bane is because that they type of ferocity we need.

I have the unpopular opinion to keep him. Use Holtz or Mercer for a trade instead.

Again, somewhere in November, when everyone was high on Casey thinking he is a future Devils star, I said we need to trade him as he is just another small mobile player the Devils have in abundance. And everyone said I'm out of my mind😂

I would move nemec Holtz and our first round pick for Brady keep Casey at Utica for a season or so

If you can only get one this year would you rather have a #1 bona fide starting goalie or Brady tkachuk?

I wouod try to trase him the devils need to beef up on the back end to many similar players…

This kids is nasty, wouldn't be apposed to see him at some point on the devils blue lines this season

You didn't mention your playoff bracket, did Dallas ruin it? And with that being said, the earlier 3 way trade with Tanev and him being a free agent, is it worth getting him to Jersey?

ANOTHER SMURF-NOTHING HAS CHANGED

You’ll probably do a vid on this later but Green is off to the senators

I want Tony de Angelo

I think Toronto is proving beyond all doubt, that a great core won’t win you anything. I highly doubt TF is the guy to get us to the finish line. I don’t trust his judgement, I don’t like his decision making and I don’t like the way he took a team who *could* have made a genuine run, and completely destroyed them with indecision, poor judgement and let’s face it: EGO. Next season will be as bad as this season. I see ZERO reason for optimism beyond that. His calling Travis Green a “legitimate contender” for the Head Coaching position, tells you all you need to know.

Trade casey and our pick this yearr

Stop 🛑 it with the Tkachuk rumors

Trade Chip!!!

Add him to the package for Ullmark. Get-er done!

It will be unpopular but I would like to Tony DeAngelo brought in as he will cost nothing. I think the media was unfair to him He has a lot of snarl, hates the Rangers and prbly now the Flyers, plays 20 kg heavier than he is and he has a high ceiling. He would actually come to the defense of the Hughes girls. When he was on Canes playing with Hamilton he was as good as Hamilton and would garner max 1.5-2m a season MAX Sadly the liberal devils ownership who HATE trump they are banksters after all and i fear will no way allow DeAngelo into the mix
