as a devils fan, we would take that deal in a heartbeat. johnson has been pretty awful lately and his skating is brutally bad

Im genuinly curious if Kassian is any better?

havent really watched kassian all that much but the devs would prob take any return for johnson

I think the Oilers accept the Seattle trade because it gives us more cap space to sign puli and yamo. if we can ship out kassian that would be great as well but I think if we could add mike smith to that deal Oilers would be so grateful.

sharks would be stupid not to do that trade, and the Oilers would be stupid to offer that much.

Im not high on Yama and Samurokov hold limited value in this proposal if any. For me I would decline based on this as we are targeting a 1st + top prospect if Hagel is to be moved (I hope he isn't). I would want Bourgault + 1st for Hagel TBH. Yes thats huge and more than what he is worth but thats how much hawks don't want to move Hagel.
