AI Predicts the Season

[Cousin Strawberry]

Rumoured to be 15 and if he doesn't resign in Van it's only for 6 years max with the new agreement taking effect before he hits UFA.

Cucks can outbid everyone by like 30 million potentially so I can't see him going anywhere unless he absolutely hates the organization (which he obviously does not)

I agree about the Hughes watch. Chef believes he’s Jersey bound

I'm not so sure on that Chef.
What's Quinn's next contract? $13M aav?
What kind of roster surgery would Jersey have to do to make that kind of space, taking upcoming re-signings that they have into consideration?

I think the Devils have some cap space going into next season.

Goalie
Markstrom is a UFA after 25-26 season - $4.1 million

Forwards
Hischier is a UFA after 27-28 season - $7.2 million
Palat is a UFA after 27-28 season - $6.0 million
Noesen is a UFA after 27-28season - $2.75 million
Glass is a UFA after 27-28 season - $2.0 million
Mercer is an RFA after 27-28 season - $4.0 million

Defenceman
Dillion a UFA after 27-28 season - $4 million
Casey an RFA after 27-28 season - $1.0 million
Nemec is an RFA after 26-27 season - $1.0 million

Parts from this - Hischier, Mercer, Nemec, Casey, Silayev and the 2026 1st rd pick for Quinn Hughes

I’d do Hischier, LS D-man Silayev (picked 10 OA in 2024) and the 2026 1st rd pick

Hischier is the same age as Petey - 26 and has put up consistently excellent numbers over the last few seasons. There are your top two centres in Petey and Hischier. Silayev is expected to play in the NHL in 2026-27 with one year left on KHL contract. He’s an exciting D-prospect and is a giant. And of course the 2026 pick from a helluva draft class

Anyone really thing Aqua would sign off on a Hughes trade???

If they can't get him extended by next summer, he absolutely will.

Cucks can outbid everyone by like 30 million potentially so I can't see him going anywhere unless he absolutely hates the organization (which he obviously does not)

They can only outbid by that much if they sign him before July 1 of next year.

It's after July 1st but before the ratification of the next collective, whenever they takes effect

Correction, they could sign him next summer, right up until September 16, 2026.....that's when the new CBA takes effect.
