    Would make things very interesting because he’s a RD and we have Hamilton Nemec and Marino already there

    If Fitz can somehow turn Marino and Holtz into McGroarty and add Pesce to replace Marino, then that is some serious GM magic.

  3. would be a nice pickup, bit of a homecoming too (even though he’s a westchester kid) for a guy who grew up playing for the avalanche and hitmen

  4. If this happens I think that means Marino on the trade block. Nemec isn’t going back to the AHL. If Fitz signs Pesce for 5-6 and trades Marino, that’d only add 1-2mil in cap which would be a very reasonable upgrade for a reasonable price.

    Would be happy with this depending on term and money.

    Losing Johnny is gonna be a massive blow tho on a purely personal note…

    But imagine the Luke – Pesce pairing!

    Nice get, but his name won’t have the same ring coming out of Hamway’s pipes as “Jyahn. Marino!”

  7. Marino would be a great trade piece to make room but a reminder that he has a M-NTC.

    FWIW a friend has a plugged in source and he’s heard that it’s not 100% going to happen but if it does it’ll be in the 6×6 range. If that does happen, Marino or Siegenthaler will be moved (according to this source).

    What kind of player is he? I’ve seen plenty of him but can’t seem to recall how he plays? More 2 way or more shutdown? Physical at all?

    Hmmm can pesce penalty kill? Marino would be our number 1 option currently as Bahl and smith are both gone. I wouldnt be opposed to swapping Marino out, but only hesitation would be worried about ending up with just a more expensive Marino. But I don’t know enough about pesce, but my main criteria would be penalty killing. If he can do that well, that would be great. Then get another depth D like Mcnabb and that would be our first penalty killing pair. Sieg and Nemec could be the other and then Hamilton and lastly Luke if needed.

    Spoiler alert: seeing as how we need a top 6 + bottom 6 + top pair defenseman + goalies + rebuild our prospect pool + a whole new coaching staff, the devils have been linked to everything hockey including available mascots and alternate jerseys this summer.

  12. It’s a little crazy how many good RD are available this offseason.

    I wonder if Travis Green loves him so much there’s a Chychrun for Marino+ deal

  14. xGetSweatyx

    Pretty, pretty, pretty good

    If Zadorov is still in the budget this could be a scary good D core

    either pesce is joining the rest of the right handed corps for an extra $5M+ or he’s replacing marino . gotta say i dont like the thought process of either, there better be a good return for johnny in this case

    I may be in the minority here but i am wary of Pesce and the contract hes likely to get. Not sure his game is going to age well plus hes got a decent amount of miles on him. I would see what Keefe can do to get Marino/Seigs back on track before handing out a giant UFA deal especially with Luke/Nemo being up soon.

  17. TheNightRain68

    Guess that’s our top 4 Dman. Marino has to be the one heading out then. Have to imagine Marino will be part of a big trade.

  18. I’d rather keep Marino in a vacuum but if you sign Pesce and then deal Marino for McGroarty, I think that’s a win
