4 years of Palat removed this isnt bad
With Palat included Sharangovich has to be upgraded to Mercer or atleast Mcleod and a 1st if not

VAN doesnt want to sell ,NJD has to seduce them into it.
Nothing says leave me alone like asking them to take a 4 year cap dump with no 1st or 2nd round picks
I mean Nemec is good but he's a projected #2 RD and top pair leader which Q.Hughes is an undisputed #1 LD
NJD shouldnt be getting anything back from VAN with an offer this low IMO
But atleast its a solid starting point if you were to try to reunite the Hughes Brothers under 1 Logo

Prepare for some intense backlash

We all know they need to feel this anger, and to project their anger at the constantly mismanaged franchise, in order to feel alive nowadays

Any hypothetical deal for Hughes is either for Hischier with some minor pieces involved on both sides, or a package starting with Nemec and Mercer

That’s a lot to pay for a 3LD.

Love Quinn, but think we are better off without this deal.
