You'd be better off just resigning Copp if you're gonna acquire someone with that cap hit. Copp probably outproduces Gourde

Dumping Nemeths contract though

U can do that elsewhere. Team like AZ or even SEA in a separate trade would take it on with a 2nd or 3rd rd pick. As a Devils fan, I'd like to see u guys make this deal bc it wouldn't be smart lol

the problem is his M-NTC, which probably has AZ on it

also, as a devils fan you should know that you won't be anywhere near the Rangers for at least 2 more seasons, and that is if all your prospects develop, and you don't keep messing up in the offseason

First off, the Devils haven't messed up the offseason yet since it basically started yesterday with the Fiala trade. Second, with the addition of a top 6 forward, depth dman, and starting goalie, we can very well find ourselves in the playoffs this year. We can score, but we couldn't keep the puck out of our net last year because we had Jon Gillies and Nico Daws playing most of the games

Gourde would be perfect for this team if A) we dump Nemeth or B) SEA retains salary

U think ur in cap hell now? Wait till next year too when u have to pay Laf, Chytil, and Miller. Good luck with that. Oh, and enjoy those next 3 years of Igor's current contract cuz his next deal is gonna be larger than Vasilevsky's

Chill dude we know. By Igor's next deal Trouba Kreider and Goodrow will be off the books in one way or another.
