ICYMI: The team has announced what is technically its roster to open the 2022-2023 season. [Devils NHL] Head over here for some analysis from John: [All About the Jersey]
The #NJDevils just confirmed a few things to me:
— Ryan Novozinsky (@ryannovo62) October 10, 2022
- Don’t be shocked if Bahl gets called up soon.
- If Nemec wasn’t called up now, he likely wouldn’t have been this year, since cap hit for him would be MUCH larger later on. Doing it now gives them max. cap flexibility for LTIR.
Simon Nemec seems OK with the AHL:
Simon Nemec when asked if he's OK if management assigns him to Utica (AHL): "Yeah, I think in Utica it's fine for me because I need to play a lot of minutes and if they send me down, I would be OK with it."

Nico Hischier was back at practice on Tuesday:

Hischier: "At the end of the day, I have to feel ready. I don't want to come back too early in a long season. It's something small. If you start too early, it's going to bother you for a while. You have to be careful with that."

The move that was obvious to most everyone has finally occurred:

Impressive cap gymnastics:
Teams have mastered maximizing their LTIR relief this year:
— CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) October 11, 2022
Dollars away from maximum relief:
$0 - VAN (A first ever perfect placement!)
$4 - TOR (The 2nd best ever)
$16 - VGK
$33 - TBL
$167 - EDM
Getting within a couple thousand is extremely hard, let alone a couple hundred.
