Sunny Mehta said in his first media appearance as Devils GM that he wants to be competitive this year and for the future. He also said that he wants to acquire as much depth as possible and he’s done just that
Trading for Lombardi (23) and Evangelista (24)
Trading away a 35 year old Jacob Markstrom who’s on a decline and giving Nico Daws a season to show what he’s got
Getting HIGH value back for Nemec who just wasn’t a fit here
Acquiring enough depth for the Devils to run out 5 lines
And not even just all that… He’s signed/traded for real AHL talent for Utica, getting 4-5 guys who were just at a point per game in the minors

Btw when I made this tweet, my intention wasn’t to bash on him after Hellebuyck game
He was a Devil for a long time and I’m just posting his stats after his first 5 games with the team so everyone’s in the loop of how he’s doing (hockey wise)

One of two things happen tonight
1 - Hellebuyck has a legacy game and we all have more to be excited about
2 - Hellebuyck shits the bed and we all get clowned
“He’s almost definitely starting one of these two back to back games and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he plays against the Stars later tonight”
- Frank Seravalli on Connor Hellebuyck
