NJ Devils NHL Free Agency UPDATE: Kovacevic Trade Leading To Something BIG?!?

Спорт

The New Jersey Devils obtained Montreal Canadiens defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic in exchange for a 2026 Fourth Round Pick.
NHL Free Agency is about 15 hours away.
Was trading for Johnathan Kovacevic purely a depth move?
Is it possible that this has implications on other moves?
I discuss this and more in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Gotta love the old timers still living in the area. I've been lucky to know a bunch of the old coaches and players. Now, unfortunately, all these young kid players know about NJ is Hoboken & Jersey City.

    Habs fan here. Kovacevic is a pretty reliable 5-6 defenseman. He can play 2nd pair but not too much. Also, don't expect him to be as physical as you wish he were. A good team mate from all accounts, and he will drop 'em. Good luck too him.

    I live in Montreal, and I saw the way Jonathan played. I have to say, the devils didn’t give up much and they acquired a decent player. He had a lot on his shoulders from watching the games at the bell centre and this guy will do well. He won’t be the best d on the reliable spots, but he will come in clutch in most events as a 7th D or top 6

    Indeed, I already feel better about this team. Cotter and Covacevic aren't names anyone was thinking about and could turn out to be gems ... I would argue that is really the best way for a GM to earn a good reputation. If it actually works, of course. Plus as you said, these two guys do fit the bottom-six forward and bottom-four defenseman spots. With cap space we may be able to get the top-6 and top-4 guys as well. We'll still have to wait and see for tomorrow and the season itself, but these feel like very positive moves.

We have big potential and we have Palat, so there's that connection from the Cup-winning teams. I would argue that we still need that top-4 D-man, like a Pesce. I wouldn't count on Kovacevic to step into that kind of responsibility just yet. And I want Dillon or Zadorov too. The more hard-to-play-against defensemen, the better.

    Love your content, but am pretty close to certain this is nothing more than a depth move to pace Nemec's development.

    @maxhouston298 That was my initial thought, but Cotter couldn't crack Vegas' playoff lineup. Maybe they see something in him that they REALLY like?!? I believe it is a depth move, but I am hoping it isn't because of other deals in the works!

    I like Stamkos but I think 8mill+ for 3 years or more is too much for a guy that’ll be 35 in February. I’d rather spend that money to round out the roster and make us more balanced. The forward lines don’t gel with me. Do they go Nico timo and Bratt as 1 line? Who’s playing with Jack? Haula,Mercer/Palat that sounds awful. Fourth line is Lazar Bastian Cotter ? You can’t scratch Cotter cuz you just traded Holtz for him so you’re invested now. Does that mean Foote is back to Utica to rot? McDermid only plays 4 times a year to fight Rempe which seems like a waste of cash. Not feeling confident tomorrow tbh

    FWIW, Kovacevic is a far worse defender than Bahl. And Bahl wasn't that bad honestly. Kovacevic also hits less than Bahl did, blocks fewer shots, and is worse of a possession player, and Bahl wasn't that good in that last department to begin with. And since Kovacevic is a righty, while Bahl was a lefty, I guess the plan is to play Dougie at RD1, Nemec at RD2, and Kovacevic as RD3. Meanwhile the left side will probably look like Siegenthaler at LD1(although I hate him there), Luke Hughes at LD2, and someone else, maybe Brendan Dillon at LD3, although I'd prefer Dillon and Siegenthaler switched. If Fitz gets Pesce or Zadorov though, Brett will almost certainly take the LD1 spot, Luke as the LD2, and preferably Siegs as the RD3. I could accept either of those though. Hopefully today is mayhem in a good way for Fitz and NJ.
