Thread: If we hypothetically traded the #1 pick to ARI (Is this fair?)
I don't think the Devils will trade the #1 pick, it is very rare. Clayton Keller appears to be a great prospect for the Coyotes so I don't think they will trade him and the #7 for the #1 pick. I think that would be them giving up too much for the #1. I also think the trade with the Islanders is way too lopsided in favor for the Devils. Towes is one of the Islanders best prospects, the Devils would have to give up a lot more than an aging Ilya Kovalchuk and a second. I think Kovalchuk for De Haan is a more appropriate deal. I like the deal with Tampa but I would like more than a second round pick, I would want a prospect. I have seen the Dalton Prout trade with the Blue Jackets on a few different Arm Chair GM examples, the Devils acquired Prout from the Blue Jackets, why would they trade him back to them?

Thread: Draft day: Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischer?
I would like to see the Devils select Nico Hischier, I believe he has more of an offensive upside which the Devils desperately need. I have heard Nolan Patrick described as the perfect #2 center on a good team, which I believe can be found in later rounds of other drafts, and it's not like the Devils have a clear number one center on the roster or in the prospect pool. In my opinion when selecting number one, it is crucial to select a dynamic player. I like Patrick and I think he is the safer choice at #1, but I would like to see the Devils take the risk and select Hischier. Now on the other hand if Philadelphia had the #1 overall selection I believe they would take Patrick, he is a type of player they don't have, he is a big body that would fit in perfectly behind Giroux for the next couple of seasons where he would shine. In my opinion, due to the Devils inability and ineptness inside the offensive zone selecting the more dynamic player is the better choice at #1.
