Boston needs cap

Devils decline, don’t think they need Towes, especially for that price and JJ does nothing for them

Its laughable that you think the Devils would want anything to do with Jack Johnson Or Toews. They might have a little interest in Domi or Athanasiou but thats about all we need from Chicago

Devils are linked to Domi
Here's the article

Someone explain to me why Jack Johnson is being traded *away from* the team that's trying to be bad.

Boston could make this work. Especially if Nosek’s injury persists.

True

Yeah i saw that on TheFourthPeriod, not a new rumor though. It makes more sense for us to go after someone like him though, we need to strengthen our bottom 6 and add some scoring depth

Hey, Jack Johnson absolutely does something for the Devils. He makes them worse!

It's laughable that you think a team with little playoff experience on the roster couldn't use Toews and Johnson for their playoff run. If you're fine with letting Hughes and his 31% Faceoff Percentage take a late game draw in the playoffs, that's on you. Toews as 3C/4C to play crunch time minutes, kill penalties, and win you a big draw is invaluable. Johnson is a 7th dman who can play in a pinch if Okhotiuk and Bahl struggle the first few playoff games.

Value is fine for the Devils but I can't see them having interest in rentals. Johnson is awful and wouldn't be included anyway.

I don't mind taking on Lucic's cap hit if he will waive, his actual salary for the rest of the season is next to nothing. Sololvyov adds zero value for either team. But Zary and the 1st would definitely be nice adds for CHI. CHI isn't retaining on Domi for that return. IMO, Foote and McCarthy add almost no value to the trade. If NJD is looking for veteran additions with lots of experience, maybe this works, but I don't like the return and I think CHI could do better with Toews if he asks for a trade.

Faceoffs are as overrated as +/-

I don't see the point in the Devils dealing Foote (who might play an important role on the Devils next year), McCarthy and two decently valuable picks to improve something as unimportant as a faceoff percentage.
I mean do you expect Toews to play on Hughes's wing, I don't follow the logic here.
Besides, Hughes usually has Haula or Mercer to take faceoffs for him..

I don't see the point in trading all of that for 'playoff experience' (whatever that means) either when the Devils already has a good enough amount of that in guys like Palat, Tatar, Marino, Hamilton, Smith, Graves and Haula.
Wood, Bratt, Hischier, Severson, Vanecek and Johnsson also has some amount of playoff experience to contribute with.

Hope the Devils don't waste all of those assets on your suggested trade.
Avs probably need a center, maybe try and send Toews there?
