With the addition of Evangelista, what power play units will Keefe roll out in 2026-2027?

Does Evangelista edge out Meier for PP1? I know people were itching to get Meier back on & activated there last season. Luke or Dougie?

---

PP1: Luke - Meier - Hischier - Jack - Bratt

PP2: Hamilton - Evangelista - Gritsyuk - Mantha - Mercer*/Brown

(Thanks to Evangelista, I now want Quinn solely so that we can run the Gritsyuk-Luke-Luke Hughes-Hughes-Hughes PP1. Do we think LaGreca would struggle or excel at calling that?)

Went to renew my car’s registration online and said, maybe I’ll finally get a Devils plate…… Where the hell did it go??.

I really really like this trade. Huge amounts of depth now exists for the Devil's and it provides God knows how much flexibility for the future. Sunny is moving towards something big in the next year or two and I am so here for it!

I hate the trade but I’m glad he’s on a better team, he really couldn’t reach his potential in Nashville. He’s even better than his stats show, he really puts his all on the ice. I hope yall can enjoy him as much as we did. He’s gonna be a hell of a player in a few years. And all we got were a couple stupid ass picks😭😭😭. Fuck MacFarland, but I’m happy for y’all!

Literally title. After the trade I wanna know what your line predictions are. What happens with Leni? With Mercer? With Noeson? Let me hear it.

Here’s mine LW - C - RW

Bratt - Hughes - Mantha

Meier (I know) - Hischier - Evanglista

Grits - Glass - Brown

Boq - E-Rod - Mercer

Hughes - Pesce

Siegs - Hamilton

Dillon - Kovy

Allen
Daws
Rittich

Unfortunately, leaves Noeson and Leni in the press box/AHL, but I like the look of it.

Obviously have to wait for camp and see what’s what, but I’m excited!

Before yesterday, I thought it was safely Hughes - Hughes - Bratt - Hischier - Mantha (not specifically watching for handedness). But with Evangelista, it becomes more unclear. Mantha being the netfront guy and I don't think Evangelista has playred netfront before.

I thought Metha or Keefe said something about moving Meier around on L2 but it's possible that Evangelista plays with Bratt/Hughes.

Home and Away. Both new with tags. $100 each or $175 for both.

Tonight, the Devils made a trade in September that shocked everyone, and they even got a great depth player in Luke Evangelista. But what does this do for the forward depth specifically, Dawson Mercer?

Really excited to have this kid in Jersey. Thought he might be a keeper for the Preds but their new GM may be wanting to remake their roster in his new vision.
