Hard to accept from NJ point of view, but also quite hard to decline.

I'd probably decline it though. Just don't see the point in moving Hughes, despite his first year was a bit of a disappointment.

I'd do Hischier for Connor but not interested in this trade.

Imagine Conner-Hughes-Laine
2 finishers with a playmaker in the middle, sounds like a good combination
Legit feel Conners underrated here.. with everybody just writing him off

Yup agreed, tried to make it work for both. But unless New Jersey sees somebody they really like at 12th and draft another center, cant see them going for it

I'm not writing him off at all and wouldn't trade him at all, was just suggesting a trade I'd make, I'm skeptical of Hughes to be honest and think it'd take Connor to get Hischier which is why I suggested it.

I'd also trade Connors in a blockbuster for Eichel in a heartbeat.

Devils have no interest. Hughes ceiling is still massive

Hischier would take more, that's why I avoided him and felt like Hughes would really fit between Conner and Ehlers

Yup so would I.. Eichels the better player no doubt

Fair, that's the reason I tried the trade, giving up quite a bit but betting on his potential

You're trading Ehlers for Hughes here.. Lol
Idk, I'm just very skeptical of Hughes, also a huge Ehlers fan but even setting that aside I'm just really not sure about Hughes.

Eichel is elite, should rightfully take a boatload to acquire him.
