im not sure about this

i like him on the avs. i'd be ok with this trade.

Compher is not something the Devils should consider in a trade. He adds nothing more than Wood does for the Devils needs and is more a cap dump for COL. This looks like a trade for the sake of a trade from NJs side.

It'll definitely cost more than that. But it's refreshing to see a Mile Wood trade not made by a Leafs fan.

Compher would need to be included to make the money work. He’s still an NHL player who can contribute to a bottom six and he’s signed for two seasons. His cap hit is a bit steep for what he brings to the table though. I wouldn’t call him a cap dump, but I don’t think he adds much/any positive value to a trade like this either. Again, he’s included to make the money work. The value to New Jersey would be the pick(s)/prospect(s) coming back.

Fair enough!

Ah the Compher is a cap dump chant from the netizens of CF. Would it surprise you to know Compher who is like 200 days older than Wood, has a higher career scoring average, has 4 consecutive seasons of 30pts (prorated for last year), had a much high 5v5 CF, and better xG numbers than Wood? And that’s all having his worst year of his career. On what planet is a 26yr old 30pt scoring forward, who can play all 3 forward positions and special teams, and makes $3.5M become a cap dump?
