Yeah Henrique would be great. He's on adequate $$ for two years, he's good for his 4M he's paid. So don't see the retention worthwhile. Well NJ are in need of D's and Shero knows Maatta whom he drafted and then he signed for that cost controlled contract.

Other teams' fans got used to have a kind of fad to stereotype him being slow, injury prone, even bust, etc. But he was a best D on this playoffs' team and that's on a team where he doesn't fit the style. He's young but has got like two Cups. Fits the rebuilding team right. Could have added Archibald also drafted by Shero as they also lack depth on the wing IMO.

Nice looking deal, not sure if Shero is 100% on dealing Rico. Coming off of his worst statistical season of his career it is easy to find reasons for trading him. Once a 30 goal scorer, has shown he can be a solid 25G-25A-50P guy going forward. The retention isn't necessary, but NJ has the 2nd most cap in the league so we could absorb 1mil for two more years. Nonetheless due to NJ's barren d-core this looks like a solid deal.

Nice trade VALUE WISE, but I'd think GMJR would have another trade up his sleeve if Maatta was dealt. He's a top4 d and we are trading him for 2 years of a third line center...Personally I wouldn't touch a trade with Maatta unless it's for a better young top4 LHD.

I agree with just about all the comments. No need for the retention since he and maatta have similar cap hits and Henrique is worth his pay. He's versatility is excellent, playing center or wing and pk or pp, and his age and salary are also great.

I'd modify to Henrique (no reteniton) for Maatta, Archibald, and a 3rd ... but I'd swap the 3rd for a 2nd if NJ wanted in a heart beat.

I believe you would need to address your D now though. Maybe hitting up Vegas, Dallas, or another D heavy team and trading a depth forward for a depth Dman. Ruhwedel is serviceable but do you depend on him to play day in day out and through the playofffs? I'm not sure that I would.
