You aren't getting any of these guys except maybe Chychrun

Dubois is not available unless he makes it known he’s not extending.
If he were to get moved, Beecher would hold no interest to WPG

Such a weird list.

Boston doesn't have what it takes to get Dylan Larkin without a elite C prospect coming back and like you said Boston doesn't have one, We don't need Lysell and Studnicka is basically a 3C that Detroit has tons of. And Vakkanienen is basically a bottom pairing LD with Detroit and we've better in our pipeline then him. Most of these trades are so lop-sided in favor of Boston and all teams not named Boston pass.

Appreciate the boldness of the move...and including Hischier.
But he is our captain and we are just getting going as a team.

You want Pettersson you gotta give up McAvoy

You can't get most of these guys they aren't available. Now chychrun is a guy you can get but Arizona probably wants a combo of picks, prospects and NHL ready guys.

You want most of these players you had better plan on giving up the likes of Charlie McAvoy because quite a few would easily require him.

Vaak has looked very good lately i would say if leddy was moved vaak could definitely play in your top 4 with seider.
Vaak's 2 way game has developed well but his IQ is what stands out the most for a 23 yr old dman his Poise and IQ is very good especially with the limited amount of NHL games he recieved until this season. Vaak mostly plays with forbort but that is because forbort has struggled this season and Vaak makes sure that line isn't a complete mess but usually when facing elite forward lines vaak slots in with chucky 1st pairing

a lot of these trade teams are recieving 3 prospects or young NHL'ers and a plethora of picks i would neccessarily say it's lopsided as they gain more assets to fill out there roster i understand they loose out on young star players but i feel as players like dahlin and chych if there teams don't either make playoffs soon or show promise of a bright future they will soon ask for a trade especially dahlin buffalo ain't ideally a place you want to live in and if the team fails to compete soon he could pull an eichel. as for NJ i feel their need for top end C's are low and they could look to strengthen a position elsewhere they also clear a ton of cap for future re-signings and free agents

chucky is more valuable and better then everyone on this list currently. the only person with a higher ceiling or comparable ceiling as him is EP and probably Dahlin

how about carlo+ instead lol chucky id still rather have then EP top end RHD's are much harder to find then top end C's

Fine, 99.9% of those players are unavailable. Only one is Chychrun and i'm still not sure if your offer is good enough.

If we’re being realistic there’s no chance either EP or McAvoy get moved. But in a hypothetical trade I think it would have to be McAvoy, unless it was a significant + added to Carlo

Ya honestly i know most these are very unlikely i am more just pointing out some high end players that catch my eye and that i think if sweeney was to do a blockbuster he should look to acquire one of these guys

I really like Hischier's game and i think he would learn a ton from bergy and could end up being one of the better two way forwards in the league if he was mentored right by bergy and marchy.

Another reason i considered him was just due to the fact that NJ has 3 High potential young C's, the move would just be so NJ could clear cap for future re-signings and free agents, Not have a future log jam at C and also i feel like one of the Hughes boys will end up being a very great leader and they will be deserving of that C very early on in their career

how B's fan always talk about how the only reason they would include Lysell in a trade is for a high end u24 C or LHD well all the guys i listed are high end younger C's or LHD's

guys like EP and Hischier play a sound 2 way game and with the mentorship of bergy and marchy could maybe help continue that trend of having an elite All around center on the team

if carlo needed to be added i would consider a move of

EP
Myers retained to (4.5 mill)
for
Carlo
Lysell
Debrusk
beecher
2022 1st OR 2023 1st
opposite year 2nd
2024 2nd
so EP= Carlo, Lysell, Beecher, 1st, both 2nds
Myers(4.5 mill) = Debrusk potentially some left over value from EP part of deal

Just seems like theres two, or maybe three categories of player here.

There’s chychrun….but then there’s dahlin.
There’s Pettersson, but then theres hischier and PLD. It’s just odd.

Side note: are we really calling guys that were 20th in selke voting because one random guy gave him a third place vote, “selke candidates?”

I don't see a problem with that obviously there is your elite players like Dahlin and EP who will cost a fortune but then you have your still solid still young high level players like hischier and PLD who could be a very good add for us now and the future

as for the selke candidate both EP and hischier have shown high level defensive play give them 2 top defensive forward mentors and they could become selke contenders
1 vote may no be much but it is something work on as obviously someone saw something they really liked in their defensive play

The selke comment was in regards to your statement about Larkin.

Dahlin isn’t elite.

Mercer is transforming into a winger so it shouldn't be a problem for NJ
Even though Hughes is my favorite player, I have to disagree with him deserving to be the C this early in his career. Hischier is easily the better option for captain

Hischier is just as important to Devils as anyone else. There is no scenario that I can imagine in which he is traded. Appreciate the interest in him though.

We do have a surplus of centers, but instead of trading them, we just shift them to wing. Sharangovich and Mercer are possibilities, but highly doubtful. Boqvist is starting to deliver, so maybe too late to get him cheap. Zacha is the most likely available option from NJ.

Hischier = all business
Hughes = good times

The “C” on Nico is no brainer.

Similar to whats happening in Chicago
Toews = Nico
Kane = Hughes

Kane and Hughes are the better players but Nico and Toews are the better leaders

Messier, Gretzky
Francis, Lemieux

Add Pasternak and a couple more first round picks to get Larkin.
