Nope. Not nearly enough. This notion that Fitz is killing it is laughable. He signed a couple slightly above average defensemen. Top 15 goalie. Bunch of bottom 6 forwards. Not a star in the bunch. This is big game hunting? I'm not excited about any of it. People are celebrating the return of 9 goals in 70 games Tatar. Fitz gave him a raise! After the abysmal season he had.
@dannymcdonough3545 24 күн бұрын
He improved goaltending, defense & added better bottom 6. I agree there is a need for a top 6 forward but can’t force moves if they aren’t there. We have to see how things unfold. Make the trade when it’s available. More so if we are a team that needs a forward at the deadline then he absolutely needs to get one
@yoholmes273 23 күн бұрын
Totally agree. This offseason is a disaster. Over the hill washed up goalies, potato-can nobody forwards ( NJ overpaid for) and a bunch of veteran stiffs for defenseman. Just a disaster. Fitz gave away the two best forward prospects in the entire system for nobody AHLer and a garbage man goon 4th liner. Fitz should have been fired year ago.

I am happy and proud that Devils are not backing down from the Canes or the Rangers. We are right there in these games if we had a real Power Play and if Fitzgerald would have fixed this glaring problems. The Devils crappy Power Play is beyond missing Dougie Hamilton. This fault is on Fitzgerald. They also have to get Luke and Jack off of the same line. And the coaches have to have the balls to make Luke Hughes a healthy scratch and replace him with Santeri Hattaka for at least a while.

Fitz was worst GM in the league this year. I said the Sharangovich trade was awful when everyone else was thrilled about it. I didn’t understand with our style of play, why we would send out a penalty killing, fast skater, sniper in our preferred age range for a slow, streaky, non defensive winger with 1 year and wrong side of 30… BONEHEAD move and I’m so upset that I was right. Sharangovich is going to be a great player in this league for a long time and be on very good deals. He’s the perfect Swiss Army Knife player. Once that move was made, it was the beginning of the end. In November it was obvious we needed a new goalie and a new coach. Somehow it took until March…?!?!? What the f*** was Fitz doing all season?!?!?
@Ted1775 4 ай бұрын
I was at the game today in Section 21. I was hoping to somehow meet you guys at AW or inside Prudential Center. That bogus first penalty killed the Devils. The Canes clobbered Daws in the crease and the refs did nothing. These refs seem to have it out for the Devils. It is killing the Devils to give up the first goal. Jack had quite a few shots hit the post. Fitzgerald waited too long to fix the Devils problems this season. It is tragic and frustrating. I would like to see Green bench Hughes and/or Nemec for a while and have Santeri Hattaka on the roster. My worry is that Fitzgerald will trade Holtz and/or Mercer in a deal...for what...a useless subpar goalie? Holtz seems to be the whipping boy this season. The Holtz thing this year is strange. What is their issue with Holtz? Is Holtz puck management poor? I also fear that as we get into the spring and summer that Fitzgerald will claim "we tested the market for a 1A goalie, but there was nothing available or we could not work out a deal, etc." And then we go into next season with the same mess. I will not trust anything Fitz says until he takes concrete action on the defense/goalie situation. I understand it will cost the Devils. I am on the side of skeptical about Markstrom given his age. How do you guys feel about Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman ?
@celluloidtherapy5003 4 ай бұрын
This isn’t just Toffoli, for a 2nd, and a 3rd. This is Toffoli, AND Sharangovich for a 2nd, and a 3rd. How does this trade sound now? Our most pressing need, in goal and the *best* you can do, are two guys *slightly* better than what we have now. I’ve been saying, that Fitzgerald has had the benefit of having top-tier talent from the draft. He had a large number of high-end picks, and it bolstered his image as a GM. The deals that *truly* matter, have been fumbled - BADLY. If I was uncomfortable with the Vanacek/Schmid pairing, going into the season, how was TF SO confident? We had an amazing season, but did I believe that either goaltender would carry us through the playoffs? NOPE. You bring in a *reliable* and *proven* goaltender, JUST IN CASE. He failed to do that, and we were sunk. He has been/is doing long-term damage to this team. The interview with Amanda Stein yesterday, was flat-out infuriating to me, and I’m sure most everyone else. He stated “I think we got a little bit too comfort with a 112 point season..” Once again, laying blame on the players, when he can point to the actual CATALYST for failure: Tom Fitzgerald. There’s a very good argument to be made, that Lindy Ruff was a *victim* of Fitzgerald’s “patience.” We have Ray Shero 2.0….

It looks like Fitzgerald adopted some of the worst aspects of Ray Shero. In my opinion, the current issues, were identifiable as far back as November, while some *might* say October. Again, in my opinion, you don’t “gamble” with an entire season. One other thing, that doesn’t get mentioned much, is a *distinct* lack of leadership.
