New Jersey Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald is on the ROAD TO REDEMPTION!
Fitzy brought in Sheldon Keefe as the new Head Coach of the Devils a few weeks ago.
His BIG GAME HUNTING officially kicked off yesterday with landing goaltender Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames via trade.
There is still lots of work to do for this NJ Devils club.
We still have the #10 pick in this years NHL Draft…
Free Agency is almost here…
What should Fitz look to do next?!?
I discuss it all in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Oh he's still got a long way to go, but it's a good start and I'll stop my hating to see where this offseason goes.
Great listen for the ride home brotha š«”
Ace. You have the best Devils channel by far–informative, entertaining and enthusiastic from the perspective of a die hard Devils fan.
1:25 :applause:
or road to perdition))
I wouldnāt take the 10th pick unless itās for a top 6 center or forward can get a young stud at 10
What are your top 5 Dmen that we can realistically pick up? Is Zadarov realistic? Dillon is. How about Walker?
I'd do Mercer and Nemec for Brady.
I wonder how much of a role that Brodeur had in Markstrom coming?? Ask because Brodeur was liked 1 of the goalies that Markstrom looked up 2 while growing up & there has 2 b some cred with him in the organization!!
I live right down road from Stamkos I donāt think house is on the market
He's definitely doing better! I'm excited already about next season!
After hiring Sheldon Keefe as head coach and trading Kevin Bahl and a 2025 1st-rounder to the Flames for Jakob Markstrom, the Devils will look to trade Erik Haula, Dougie Hamilton, Jake Allen, Nathan Legare, and the 10th pick in the 2024 NHL Draft to the Senators for Brady Tkachuk, trade Isaac Poulter, Michael Vukojevic, Graeme Clarke, Josh Filmon, the 75th pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, and a 2025 3rd-rounder to the Kraken for Oliver Bjorkstrand, trade Ondrej Palat, Jonas Siegenthaler, Cal Foote, Jack Malone, Jack Malone, the 91st pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, and a 2025 conditional 6th-rounder to the Blue Jackets for Ivan Provorov and Patrik Laine, trade John Marino, Akira Schmid, Nathan Bastian, Nolan Foote, the 139th pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, and a 2025 4th-rounder to the Bruins for Jeremy Swayman, trade Arseni Grutsyuk, Daniil Misyul, Daniil Orlov, Xavier Parent, and the 153rd pick in the 2024 NHL Draft to the Hurricanes for Martin Necas, trade Nico Daws, Brian Halonen, Artem Schlaine, Dylan Wendt, and the 171st pick in the 2024 NHL Draft to the Sabers for JJ Peterka, sign Kevin Labanc to a 5-year contract worth $27 million ($5.4 million AAV a year), and sign Martin, Jeremy, and Patrik to long-term extensions, so next season, the Devils will win the Metropolitan Division with a 53-20-9 record and their 4th Stanley Cup.
Ace, keep up the great content. Your killing it. LGD
"Matt Rempe pest control." LOL.
The āfinesse analyticsā crowd are not fans and should be shown the door to the sport in general
They have ruined every sport now because they never played anything but video games. Sit down, shut up and learn how violent gentlemen are supposed to play, and live for that matter.
Keep up the good work āaceā lol
Lmao you are hysterical.
Rempe pest control & im sorry your lost, you donāt know shit š
GREAT STUFF!!!!
I think youāre crazy to not want to make the no. 10 pick. This draft has the potential for very talented players to slide because thereās some obnoxiously tall mid players on the board. We could get a solid player on a rookie contract when our cap is tight in a couple years
Wrong Brady need one on Canes Skjei and pick up Mantha
Loving the videos my man. Keep it up
Yo Ace.. Iām buying what youāre selling bro.
#BringBradyToNJ
Without hesitation would I trade Nemec for #BringBradyToNJ in a heart beat. Some low knowledge fans out there
Ace, you are spot on about not getting a D with the pick….I do like the idea of a bottom 6 face-off specialist and that teams later 1st rd for the push.
You are absolutely the truest New Jersey commentator out there. Your opinions are remarkably close to those of the majority of Devils fans….buckle up, there should be more trades coming before the draft!
If McLeod is acquitted, why shouldn't the Devils have him back?
Ace….i live in Myrtle Beach. Before that i lived in South Jersey, with all.those f*cking Flyers fans. That was difficult. But if i still lived there we would do many beers. Thanks for all the info!!!!!
I still canāt believe you got Marky?! Nice! Loved him in Vancouver. Heās a great get thatās for sure.
Imagine a top 6 of Jack, Brady and Laine, Hischier, Timo and Bratt and two solid D men free agents like Zadarov, Tanev or Dillon, with better than average goaltending if not better. Get it done, Fitz.
Remember NJ has two 2nd rounders in the 2025 draft (Toffoli trade). So, might not have a first, but we do have that extra asset come the deadline.
I am sure the owners told Fitz this: This season was pitiful! You did not do your job, and now we have a record drop off in season tickets! Do you job, or you'll be out of one.I like the resigning of Mac. We need that enforcer. Signing Markstrom with some salary retention in exchange for Kevin Bahl was a steal. Yeah Bahl was big, but he was soft. Now we have a roster spot open to get a defensemen that is nasty. And we have an extra $2 million in cap space to do it. I have mixed feelings about Keefe, but he at least has consistently gotten his team to the playoffs. I think he has potential. Yeah Fitz is definitely on the road to redemption. Now he needs to #BringBradytoNJ!
Like #80! Keep the content rolling brother! BEST DEVILS PODCAST ON YOUTUBE!
I gotta lay this out so I understand – to the fans that want to keep the 10th overall this yearā¦in the last 10 years:
2014-15 – Devils finish 25th
2015-16 – Devils finish 20th
2016-17 – Devils finish 28th
2018-19 – Devils finish 28th
2019-20 – Devils finish 26th
2020-21 – Devils finish 29th
2021-22 – Devils finish 28th
2023-24- Devils finish 24th
Here is my question : how many more high 1st round picks do you guys want? We have enough kids on this team, what we lack is experience/grit/size.
Win now is in effect, there is no other option. Gotta take advantage of this stretch of time, last year was supposed to be 1 of these early window years & look how quickly it spiraled.
Coaching looks good. Stole a goalie & used the discount to pay Macdermid who will protect the kids. Add tough defense, and a quality forward like Brady Tkachuk or a Stamkos to your point.. I mean sky is the limit
Letās go Devils š
I think you need to swear more šš¤£šš¤£ love the videos ace! LETS GO DEVILS!!! Much love from canada
Ace boogie putting out videos like hotcakes š„ I watched a young Zadorov when I lived in Buffalo and man I wanted him on the devils when he left Calgary
If Stamkos is a NJ Devil I will lose my shit
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
Iām going to pay to see MacDermid.
The defense was bad and yet people are upset we shipped out one of those defenders in this trade. I don't get it.
