I def prefer the shorter term, cheaper price tag, with arguably a higher ceiling. And I was one of the minority that was ready to roll the dice on Kaapo Kähkönen IF all of these other GMs were going to extort. But this is best case scenario, IMO. #LetsGoDEVILS #BringBradytoNJ

Please make the stat screen larger, couldn’t read it on iPad full screen. And ps we got the right goalie. I’m ok with this tandem for a year.

Good job for the Panther on wining the Cup. I feel that McDavid was deserved to win the Conn Symith. As for him not going out to get the Cup I understand why he didn't. For Brady I think Mathew was talking in him going to Florida with him. Just watch if he want to be traded after next season, he will be in Florida. Why would he goes to NJ instead of Sunny and warm winter in Florida. I also forgot the beaches.

Joe's nuts. Vote him off the island. Serenity now.

Yo Ace.. yes they did.

ABC has to censor the F bombs, because they can get heavily fined by the FCC, unfortunately. I agree, I want to hear the profanity and the emotion...but a big company, like ABC, not censoring an F bomb during the best sporting final ever? The fines would be in the millions. They fine you for every F bomb dropped. Its exactly why my fiancé has a shirt that says "Bleep the FCC." That being said, this was an absolutely amazing game. I do not blame McDavid for not coming out to receive the trophy. He's a team player, and he wanted to be with his team player, and wanted to be with his teammates. I think he definitely earned that award though. Kid is a beast. Was hoping to see Henrique win a cup, but I am happy for Florida to win their first cup in franchise history. They definitely wanted it more. They earned it. Florida also showed toughness and hitting is absolutely necessary to win. Florida had 30 hits in this game compared to the Oilers 19. Guys like Nico and Mier really need to step it up a notch. We also need to #BringBradytoNJ

Great take on trade. I'm satisfied

People are crazy ullmark didn’t want to come to Jersey so we don’t want him anyway marky was the move he wants to be here

Sweet jersey.

Ullmark is better truthfully. But he’s an impeding UFA and will ask for a pay raise. Hard to say but I’m happy either way. NJ did well in the Markstrom trade

People are so obsessed with goaltending that a .906 equates to a conn smythe in the eyes of many

Love the jersey...I have a retro Scott Stevens jersey...red white and green. That being said, to hell with Joe. You're right on the money. Ullmark is unproven, and a HUGE gamble. Furthermore, you're right...because he is younger, he will be looking for an insane contract. Which is ridiculous considering his playoff numbers are like Viteks. If we got him, it would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Markstrom was definitely the right choice. I have seen his highlights. He's amazing. Plus getting him here for 2 years is definitely ideal. Gives him time to mentor Schmid, Poulter, or Daws. Joe is an idiot. You can never make someone like him happy. Yeah I am not a fan of Fitz, either, but as you pointed out, you have to give credit when credit is due. And he absolutely made the right deal on this one. Now he just needs to #BringBradytoNJ

Doesn’t matter now!

Goalie will only be as good as the defense in front of him. Fitzy better upgrade our defense if they expect to be all in next NHL season. Otherwise it won't matter if it's Markstrom or Ullmark. LGD

Are we seriously having a conversation about whether we would rather have a 35 year old goalie or a 30 year old vezina winning goalie? If markstrom had won a vezina you probably wouldn't stop talking about it. Watching you break down ullmark stats made me cringe. Your case of covFitz is getting worse, and I think joestalgia is exactly the elixir you need to come back to your senses. Please stop defending our garbage GM. Until he actually displays any competency he deserves all the shit he receives. He wasted an entire NHL season because he didn't have the balls or the permission to make a move for a goalie, and when he finally did get a scrap heap goalie like Allen people wanted to give him credit for that? We have won 1 playoff round with this bafoon. What exactly has he built? We lucked our way into Jack Hughes. A chimp could have made that pick. We need to revamp half our D because they are Charmin soft, so yeah joestalgia is absolutely 💯 percent correct about Kmart Tom and you need to come on board because its a matter of time before Tommy shits the bed again. Go look at what a real GM looks like in Florida. Dude is a lawyer and a former agent. Running circles around tommy boy. Just the small moves he made this year, shows you he had a plan. Whats ours?? Hopefully make the playoffs with 2 goalies on the back end of careers? Then what, Nico Daws and his flexible hips? Akira Schmid again?

I agree with you Joe's comments are literally laughable.

!00% agree. Markstrom primary goalie. Jake doing the good 2nd goalie. Hopefully both of them help out all the young goalie talent in our system. Let's wait and see what happens in the future.

Mogilny is ommited again

Lol it all somehow centers aroumd Brady Tkachuk

Nah man after this season Fitz knew if he made this trade without being 110% certain of an extension, he would've been on the street if Ullmark left. Markstrom seems excited to be here, and the playoffs are a different beast so it scared me when you went over those numbers. I cant handle the thought of a deep playoff run getting Vanecek'd. Looking forward to Markstrom in net.

Real question is, who was gonna hug Ullmark on the Devils?? Allen? Akira? The answer is no one. In Ottawa, he’ll get all the hugs he needs, & boy is he gonna need em! Pure desperation play by the Sens, no hate on them but they are not a goalie away. Definitely a move to pacify Brady. That said, I still go with Markstrom because it work’s twofold. On one hand, NJ is not a cup team yet, a lot of work to do & gives us the time to figure out who is who with our young team. On the other hand, if this team gets on a run, I want an experienced #1 netminder & I don’t know about Ullmark.. don’t love his sample size playoff stats either. Lastly- Jack Hughes & co is not the legacy Devils..meaning, 8million+ on a starting goalie is NOT the vibe (that’s on a Brodeur type team where the goalie is the main focus.) Spend that money on defense for the love of Christ

Thank you prophet for another quality upload now another prophecy is gonna come true and if not this season then next and we will #BringBradyToNJ

off topic: whats going on with mcleod and foote? there doesnt seem to be anything other than announcement for a hearing on april 30th

Ace is his likely means Brady isn’t going anywhere now that they have their goalie

I absolutely agree. There is no doubt this was the right move in getting Markstrom. As a fan of the Devils since 1988, we're on the same page. I also wanted to add that I really enjoy your show. You have measured takes on the issues.

I mean our fans can never be happy. Yall wanted Marky for 2 years now, yall got him and now yall mad you got him. Not talking about you specifically just talking about the average Devs fan

2003 finals, yes Brodeur got 3 official shutouts but FOH honestly he got 4!!! Yes, game 4 scoreless going into OT , he shut them out for 60 minutes 😤 I doubt we ever see ANYTHING like that again!! Don’t get me wrong- I watched the entire JSG run myself & he was insane through 3 rounds, the nhl’s Linsanity moment. BUT he didn’t play like that in the finals. The Devils didn’t struggle with JSG like the Western Conference teams did. Marty got robbed, period! P.S. Bobrovsky looked pretty good for an ancient 35 year old goaltender 👴 🦯, can’t wait to see what our senior citizen netminder has in store for 2024-25 😈

They should have gotten Ullmark, but only if they could have signed him to an extension. That's the big IF. I assume the Senators and his agent have already agreed to an extension. I can't see how any GM in his right mind would fork up a first round pick for a goalie who you control for only one year.

People don’t care about the playoff stats until the playoffs come, and then they don’t stop bitching about it. You’re right, I think we made the right call with Markstrom.

I’m a Flames fan and the B’s are one of my other favorite teams so I’ve seen both goalies a tonne. IMO Ullmark is the better, more consistent, goalie. However, Markstrom has the better track record of being able to handle a full workload. If he can clean up that first shot first goal jitters he’s had in the past then he should be fine.

Sens fans have been BEGGING for a .905

Markstrom is already throwing heat at the rangers I think we got the right goalie.

I miss Devils Hockey. The hallmark of Devils Hockey was DEFENSE FIRST!! If these 2 guys bring back defense, a no bullshit punishing defense like you said ala Scott Stevens, then I'm all for it. It's great we have a young high speed scoring corps, but we need a shutdown defense.

Florida won! Florida won! As i said they will back in February and after game 6.🎉🎉🎉

I’m gonna be honest here. I don’t think Luke Hughes is ready the NHL yet. He doesn’t play like he should. Plus knocking pucks into your own empty net is not too good. They should send down to the ahl for a bit

Brady isn't going anywhere. What can the devils realistically give up for a franchise player like Brady? If you look at it objectively and not as a NJD fan, there isnt enough coming back to Ottawa. They dont want more prospects, they are tired of rebuilding forvthe last 7 years. They want good solid NHL ready players. You would have to rip apart half the Jersey franchise to bring in a franchise player like Brady. Why would he go to New Jersey?His wife is from the area? Well maybe. I could see Brady as a Panther before a Devil though. Imagine Brady and Matthew on the same team. A virtual wrecking crew on the ice and scoreboard. A recent proven cup winner. A tax friendly state. If i were a Devils fan, i would lower my expectations. The disappointment of not getting Brady will be easier to manage. It's nice to dream but it's not going to happen.

The best player has ever played was Super Mario!

Sens are spending $8,775 mill on goalies this year, Devils @ $6mill. Ullmark will be wanting a huge raise next year, plus the 1 million they are paying Boston. Calgary is paying the Devils 1/3 of Markstrom's salary. The Devils have 5 very good goalie prospects that will be ready when Markstrom's contract is up. The Devils will have very reasonable goalie contracts for the foreseeable future. Markstrom is the goalie for now AND our future.

It is down to if Ullmark want to sign with Devils. lol

smell some jealousy here. LOL

Actually Ulmark is costing more like $6.5 for the first year with the retention on the goalie they sent to Boston

Connor McNoShow 😂

Joestalgia is never going to get his own Steve the Maniac style graphic if he keeps punishing you with bad takes. #bringbradytonj

Bring joestalgia back! We want him back! On permanent basis! Ace out! Joe in!!!

Nothing beats playoff hockey. Great series LGD

I think the right move would have been getting Saros. Markstom is still a solid goalie, and I definitely am happier with him instead of Ullmark. But seeing how these deals have played out, you cant tell me we couldnt have flipped the 10th overall pick and a few more assets for Saros.

Sens getting Ulmark was literally probably to show Brady they’re serious about winning.

We didn't rob Calgary. Better trade than we all were worried it would be, but Calgary got a 1st and a 23 year old Defender entering his 2nd full season.

I want BRADY T!!! His wife is a jersey girl and he is cousins with Fitz!!! LETS GO!!!

Gorgeous jersey per usual…happy we got Markstrom, the price is the price at the time of the move so it’s tough to argue future transactions against it when he’s the first goalie off the board, glad we didn’t wait for the market to develop and then miss out on landing a great tendy… wish it came 6 months ago 😝 although the price would have been even higher back then, so it’s all relative…bottom line, we got our guy finally!
