NJ isn't giving up a single NHL player here and gets a top 10 goalie and top 10 LW. Think most would agree this makes NJ an instant cup favorite

Well Blackwood, but if they wanted an NHL skater you could swap one of the assets out for Sharangovich. Just figured in this scenario they would want picks and prospects more.

NJ is giving up someone they just took at 2nd overall (Nemec), a high pedigree 20 year old forward in the NHL (Holtz), a pretty promising 20 year old defensive prospect and former 1st rounder in Mukhamadullin, a 1st round pick in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory, a 1st round pick in 2024, and Blackwood who bleh but on an expiring deal.

In return, the Devils get 2 seasons of Hellebuyck (who is awesome), Connor (who is also great and has a nice contract), and Vesalainen (who isn’t even playing in North America anymore).

I get that trading your two best players isn’t fun, but this a king’s ransom for a team that probably isn’t contending now and would benefit from expediting the rebuild.

Yeah other than blackwood but 2 OA, 7 OA 2 years ago before and opportunities to land a very good player this and next year is not crazy if you are in a rebuild.
