Trades
CGY
  1. 2018 2nd round pick (NJD)
  2. 2019 2nd round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
Two picks will recoup what Calgary has traded away as well as provide a solid veteran with leadership qualities and a good defensive prospect who should have made the NHL this year if Calgary didn't have the D depth they have.
NJD
  1. Brouwer, Troy
  2. Kylington, Oliver
Additional Details:
Brouwer is no longer needed (not that he really ever was) and Kylington as good of a player as he is can't make the team with the depth Calgary has now especially with Valimaki being drafted. Calgary gives up Kylington so NJ takes Brouwer who will regardless be useful for them

Don't know much about Kylington, but Brouwer could be a short term patch for the right side which is a weakness for us currently. Does Kylington have top 4 potential? These next two drafts claim to be 3 to almost 4 rounds deep so I would need more info on Kylington to answer a trade like this.

Kylington is a former second round pick who is a RHD, and has two AHL seasons under his belt at just age 20. He was a former top prospect that fell for a variety of reasons, but mostly surrounding his skating. He's probably a year out from making the NHL, with the potential to be a #2 defenseman. He's one of the three heralded CGY defense prospects (Fox, Andersson, and Kylington).

I don't think it makes sense to trade Brouwer with that price tag. The second rounders are useful, but RD like Kylington don't grow on trees.

Kylington is a left hand defenseman with Andersson who was drafted the same year a couple spot ahead of him being the right handed player. I added Kylington because Calgary drafted Valimaki this draft year who has a very high ceiling as well.

I think you have Kylington mixed up with Andersson. Andersson is the RHD that has had concerns about his skating, Kylington is an excellent skater and a LHD in the mold of Erik Karlsson. He was a top-5 prospect at the start of his draft year but bounced around the SHL system and fell to CGY at pick 60. His absolute ceiling could be Erik Karlsson lite, probably not as good, but he has a similar skill set. He should become a top-4 puck-moving defenseman in the NHL, and is probably 1 or two years away. Andersson is probably more NHL ready, as he is better defensively and could find a role on a powerplay.

If New Jersey was up for this kind of deal I would be interested, it all depends on what kind of value CGY has on Kylington. I do agree that trading a defensive prospect is a good idea, however I'd rather see one traded for an actual asset, as opposed to more picks.

I like the idea of the Devils and Calgary trading, but I know that there is no way that Shero is taking a bottom 6 RW who is over 30 and has 3 years left on his contract. He would rather have a young guy filling that role of 3rd or 4th line RW. I can see Shero trying to trade Speers, Bastian or Blandisi to Calgary for Kylington, Andersson or Kulak. I could also see him not making any trades and waiting to claim someone off waivers at the end of camp
