Hughes for Kuznetsov tho 😵

They're comparable level players currently

One leaving his prime... the other just entering his

Devils would decline all of these deals.
Our untradables are...well, mostly the guys that were traded here.
Hughes, Hischier, Smith, Severson, Bratt and Sharangovich aren't being moved for anything.

But just to play along for minute

WAS - For Hughes & Severson, Caps would have to add McMichael, Lapierre and another 1st round pick.
BUF - Not sure I'd do Hischier for Eichel until Jack gets clean bill of health. So to do this deal, Buffalo would need to add at least the 1st overall.
CBJ - Love Werenski, but would not trade Ty Smith. Columbus would need to add both of their late 1sts.

And none of those teams are meeting those prices.

You’re delusional if you think the Sabres need to add 1OA to get Nico Hischier. Eichel is about a PPG career player, Hischier is only about a .6 ppg career player. Not even close.

haha why? At this point if the Devils moved Hughes to the wing and he makes an all star game they would be lucky. He isn't special.

There are many parts to that trade:
1. Eichel for Hischier
2. Devils taking Risto
3. Sabres getting Bratt, Johnsson, and two 1st round picks.

So yes, to complete the whole trade, Buffalo adds their 1st overall.

Personally, looking at that trade....my first thought was there's no chance unless the 2021 first is NJD's

As a 19-year old, at 160 lbs soaking wet, he was top-5 in the following...

Corsi For %
Fenwick For %
Takeaways
Penalties drawn
Net penalties
Zone entries
Zone-to-zone rushes
Posts/crossbars hit
...and numerous other categories

Also, in his two years, he has had two GMs, three coaches, two captains, one 10-month layoff, one 3-week layoff mid-season and got Covid.

So I agree, "special" just isn't strong enough to describe his potential.

Doesn't matter. Devils are not involved at all on Eichel.
We have our centers. We're happy with them. They are happy here.
If we make any trades, they will be smaller ones for d-men.

What do you think is realistic for Risto? I keep seeing Subban for Risto & picks on either side. Just don't see it.

Just another guy who may eventually put up some regular season numbers but won't be able to physically hang in the playoffs.

Exactly. Its a man's game and both Hughes brothers are not fit for real hockey.
