    Devils decline. Too many forwards, no LD to replace Graves. IF, and only if, Luke decides not to return to Michigan, the Devils accept. However, the Oilers would still have to take a forward back, which they cannot afford to do.

    There'd be some risk for the Devils here but I can see the trade working out really well for the Devils.
    Personally I'm fond of the idea of getting a cost controlled asset for an expiring contract, especially if the return is a play driving top six winger.

    You make a good point on lacking depth at LHD if moving Graves out, but it may not be that big an issue at all.
    Suppose this trade is done no earlier than the 2023 TDL (not sure if the exact date is released yet so let's go with last year's date, March 21st) the Devils would have 12 games remaining in the regular season.

    If we'd be looking at keeping Hughes ELC-slide (I think we should) then the Devils would have LHD exposure for (12 - 9 =) 3 games where the LHD would have to be Siegenthaler - Smith - Bahl / Walsh / Okhotiuk.
    But after those three games you'd just have Hughes stepping right into the vacancy left by Graves.
    I don't know about you but I'd be very confident that Luke Hughes would be fully ready for top 4 responsibilities by late March 2023.

    If you could turn Graves into Puljujärvi, with Hughes stepping into the lineup no more than 10-11 days later, I say the Devils should 100% do it.

    JP isn’t even a top 6 winger. He has had ample time to play with 2 top 5 players in the game with little success. I like JP as a top 9 reclamation project but I’m not sold on a 1 for 1 swap with all the perineal wingers we already have waiting for their chance. Value wise I think it’s fine but I would be very hesitant to pull trig

    Broberg will be on the roster full time, the Oilers don't need Graves. And I wouldn't pay Puljujarvi for him anyhow - he's easily the most impactful winger on the team and is an RFA at the end of the season.

    Well, whenever JP shared the ice with Drai or McDavid the latter two were playing their best hockey, especially at 5v5.
    JP's genius doesn't lie in what G + A he does or doesn't put up himself, but rather in the way he elevates every single player around him to new heights, he's one of the strongest playdrivers in the league and is nothing if not a top six winger.
    He'd be the perfect guy to pair with Hughes, Holtz or Bratt in order to allow them to be the best versions of themselves with his unmatched ability to forecheck, extend plays and create turnovers.

    Trading for JP this season would be akin to getting Nichushkin ahead of his 19-20 or Mark Stone ahead of his 15-16 season.
    If all you have to give up is a rental top 4 LHD (with Hughes to replace) to make that happen you really should do it.

    Hughes cannot ELC slide if he signs after December 31st of this year

    I don't think it would hurt Broberg getting fully top minutes in Bakersfield while the Oilers get a much needed in your face defenseman. I'm worried that Puljujarvi has a solid or similar season and wants around 5M, I don't see us paying anything near that and I think that would scare a lot of teams off, no better time to trade him than right now IMO

    Broberg is not going anywhere... and if Puljujarvi is worth $5M next summer it's because he helped the team win. That's a GOOD thing. You take that and deal with the ramifications next summer. Trading a player because you think he's going to perform really well in a contract year is about the worst reason ever.
