There was an interesting tweet put out by Dan Powers who is a cohost of the popular empty nutters podcast and he said Pesce is likely to end up with the NJ Devils.
With Already trading out Kevin Bahl in the Jakob Markstrom trade with the Calgary Flames and Tom Fitzgerald said he wants to add alot of substantial pieces in the offseason does this mean John Marino maybe the next to be traded. Marino had a bad year last year defensively, but is still young, a right shot defenseman, and has some term left on his contract at a reasonable rate. If the Devils are able to add Pesce and another piece on their backend this team will be drastically different than last years Devils.

Would prefer to lose Siegs than Marino because I think John is due to bounce back
If he can fight then im cool with 6 million
Love the DiSimone signing.
And Ill take Pesce if the price is right. Knowing Fitz , he will drastically overpay because that is what he does.
Marino stinks.
The man is terrible in the corners and invisible in front of the net.
Would be interesting to see what he could garner on the market.
Still think the 10th will be moved so he may he a sweetner in a package deal for a big fish. 🎣
Pesce can clear the net, play PK, and is good at cutting off cross passes in the Devils zone, which killed the team last season. If the money is right, it would be a good move. I like DeSimone as a 7th man insurance policy in case someone gets injured.
Nikita Zadorov is my top choice. If we can get Nikita Zadorov and Pesci for 12 million, I would be all for it. We are lacking beef on the blue line.
I still am very interested in Rutger McGroarty if he will be moved. I would move the first round pick for him. I know all three local teams are in on him so I hope the Devils land this future captain.
Agree trade marino
I’m here to bang on the Zadorov drum. I love the idea of getting Pesce as well and moving on from Marino. He had a very rough year and that K’andre Miller (for lack of a better word) “fight” when he was getting ragged and turtled was the end for me 😂
Pesce was a +10 with only 20 pim. Desimone for defensive depth 👍. And where is Hatakka?
Pretty much agree with everything you mentioned. So much went wrong with the D last year I think both Marino and Siegenthaler are better off in a new location. But like you mentioned, Marino is taking up more cap space. I might have preferred Ullmark over Markstrom but the dice have been rolled and we will see what happens to both starting in 3 months. Markstrom certainly has the right attitude and he wanted to be here. Just he's not a long term solution because of his age.
DiSimone is ok but he isnt a guarantee to make the team. All a one way contract means is if he’s sent to the Ahl he’s going to get paid the same money as if he were in the NHL.
No idea what’s going to happen but I’m pretty sure there will be many changes.
I just want to point this out, two years ago our defense looked great under Andrew Burnette, last season under Lindy Ruff the whole team looked terrible, I think under Sheldon Keefe our defense is going to look good again, I looks forward to seeing how our roster looks come October! Thanks for the Video!
We need dougie hamilton back and healthy. His prescience in and off the ice around these young defence man is priceless. We are already a better team than last year with markstrom and a healthy timo and Hamilton. Of course we need another 1-2 dmen. All the cards must be on the able this year. This is the year. No holding back.
Would prefer Zadorov but taking it as a great sign that Fitz is interested in making the D meaner
I hope that the Devils get Pesce! He's a defenseman that the Devils need!
We need to sign Zadorov!!!!
Great! Another palat-esque contract for a injury peone vet who is clearly on the decline… just what we need!
Is Pesce an upgrade over Marino or Seigs? Let's wash out last season and compare him to the 2022 devils team.
The key to any move for UFAs like Pesce, Zadorov, Skjei etc. is not overpaying them… or you can overpay, but keep the contract shorter. These guys are all gonna want money and term. I really like all of them, but please don't overpay 🙏 Let's go Devils 😈🏒
