Love it, more importantly love that they made a move quickly and "didn't come in 2nd"
Who would be a head coach candidate if he does fired Keefe?
Not sure why anyone even talks about the comp for gms and front office. Idc how much they have to pay a GM as long as they get resultsโฆthere is no cap, if the guy from Tampa was available, we should be giving him whatever he wanted. The pay is irrelevant for these roles imo
Can't get a top six forward without unloading Hamilton's contract. Hughes-Bratt-Brown was pretty damn effective down the stretch. That is the type of player needed for Hughes-Bratt. Last thing Devils need is Hughes not shooting the puck. Need a walls/corners & net front guy
Love it, rare Blitzer W
Oh look, as soon as Fitz isn't involved… we don't come 2nd. This is excellent news – can't wait to see the changes he makes. LGD
We will see
I wouldn't like him playing both gm and president๐
This organization needs to mature
Accountability
And consistency
I loveeeee that were going into this new era with Sunny and no Novo. What a f*ing win win ๐๐๐
Side note, his analytics were heavily used to draft Bratt & Nico, he also had Bratt as the 3-4th best player in the draft, yet he went 6th round. Look up the draft too, he kinda nailed it. Dude is nuts lol
I live near Toronto and visit NJ all the time, NJ is a million times cooler , easy choice
