Trade confirmed: Nashville Predators - New Jersey Devils

Trade Details
Nashville Predators Acquire: Future Considerations	New Jersey Devils Acquire: Adam Helewka

Blockbuster

Did they forget to add him to the Subban deal?

I guess Nashville decided to give NJ an extra player in the deal just because they think NJ overpaid for Subban LOL ... why is Nashville giving NJD so many great deals?

LOL we both made similar comments at the same time.

Snap!

Wow, since I only saw future considerations I thought the player would absolutely suck, but Helewka actually looks like an interesting prospect. I don't know too much about him but initial looks in the stats department aren't bad.

He lacks physicallity

23, not in the NHL been in the AHL for 3 years..............bye.

I keep saying it, people don't want to believe it. Teams are not waiting on wingers. There are too many other people who want their chance. In 3 years you either got it or you don't.

Biggest trade between these teams in recent memory

While I think you are right in the fact that teams move guys along faster, I think it is very dangerous to blanket all players into that. There are still late bloomers.

Best trade for NJD in recent memory!

man the devils got robbed on that subban deal. (he said sarcastically)

Blake Coleman (NJD), Michael Ferland(CAR), and Mats Zuccarello (DAL). Most late bloomers are bottom six guys who can play physical, kill penalties, and defend-like Coleman and Ferland. Zuccarello is the more curious of the group b/c he's a top six skill player. Very few skill players are such late bloomers. When they do make it, they're usually undersized like Zucc.

Devils keep showing they are using the rigged redistribution lottery to get back into post season having 1st overall pick 2/3 years .
