trading Schneider , Cammalleri, Henrique, when they just went 3-0-1 on a road trip, beat a Minnesota Wild team that has been on fire, and only 3 points out of a playoff spot seems a little bit silly right now. I would not be buyers at the trade deadline, but i would hold off on a major roster shakeup unless they really crash and burn before then. If they are in the playoff picture, I would much rather see Zacha, Wood, Hall (no playoff or playoff race experience), Severson, Santini, Merrill, even younger players like Kalinin get involved in a winning culture and be competitive.
Keep in mind, Devils had the #9 ranked farm system on thehockeywriters.com , they have some legit prospects (Mcleod, Speers, Bastian, Anderson, Kerfoot) already that need some time to develop, Henrique, Hall, Palmieri, Zacha, Wood, Blandisi, Quenneville, Severson, Santini, all of those are younger players with either top 6 forward ability, or top 4 d-man ability that will form a core starting this year and next year.....i dont think trading those guys away or tearing it down in this way will really pay off.
