Not sure I like that for the Devils. To me, Pittsburgh is the major winner here.

My guess is that Hextall really wanted Smith's ELC and banking on that Sullivan can elevate his game.

Ty Smith is not good lmao

They were supposed to trade him for a forward instead they get another D man who won’t be in their lineup

I figured something bigger was going on as with MTL going for Dach I was like ok they will then package him for PLD

Kind of like what they tried to do with KK 2 years ago but once again WPG be like nah we gonna screw ourselves again

Well at any rate they will trade Scheifele and PLD for guys who wont want to stay and the endless cycle of misery will continue


I don't recall them ever trying to package KK?

When PLD was available back with the CBJ I believe Bergevin was trying to trade a package for him involving KK but CBJ was heavily insistent on Suzuki.

Lol seems like a pretty underwhelming package. What do they need with another RHD?
Hamilton
Severson
Marino
Nemec
Casey

How will they all fit in a few years?

Per The Athletic

A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Athletic that Dubois attended the NHL Draft in Montreal because he believed a trade would be completed on the draft floor. As first reported by Radio-Canada’s Martin Leclerc, Montreal offered three players to the Jets in hopes of securing Dubois’ rights.

It is believed that Winnipeg is holding up the deal in an effort to secure a player Montreal has no interest in moving.

This could be why Brisson is trying to increase the pressure.

For Dubois, it’s as simple as wanting to play in Montreal.


I don’t see why we’d acquire Dubois, let’s see what we have in Dach/Dvorak before acquiring someone who’d be our 2c, worst case, we sign him in FA, no need to give up assets. Also can’t see where Winnipeg has leverage if Dubois only wants to go to MTL

In the long term the Devils were gonna lose at least two promising and capable young LHD.
You'd have Ty Smith, Okhotiuk and Bahl all clamoring for the 3LHD spot behind Siegenthaler and Luke Hughes.
Getting ahead of this logjam by turning Smith into Marino makes a ton of sense to me.
Besides, I have a hard time seeing Smith turning into a better player than Marino over the course of their careers.

I like the deal a lot for NJ, Marino’s a solid 2nd pair RD and you now have your Severson replacement for when he leaves inFA next year to run Hamilton-Marino-Nemec. Don’t hate it for Pittsburgh too, you’re banking on those ELC years and Smith developing ( which he could easily do, he has a lot of potential )

Surely the Canucks could’ve done something like Rathbone and a third.

I assumed so, but I have a hard time justifying extending Severson now.
Maybe if you keep Nemec in the minors for two years you could extend him and run Hams - Sevs - Marino on the right side, then flip Marino or Severson after the 23-24 season with Nemec replacing?
