Thread: DevilsLeafs trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Sharongovich will be sneaky good, was offered in alot of MT deals. I think they need to keep some of their good depth and Nylander is got a yr left no?. Nylander I great but seems lazy abd disappears in the playoffs, what's up with that. If Severson is gonna bolt, I'm OK with him to Tor, but I prefer him to stay, I'm in the minority though our fanbasecis split on him. Our RHD should be set, in fact I think we are done building the D</div></div>

Willy has actually put up some decent playoff numbers last couple of seasons, but he does have moments where he seems hesitant to take a hit to make a play. Then other times he’s throwing a hit and producing turnovers.

All in all I think this is a good hockey trade and does fill needs for both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaners79</b></div><div>I'm having a hard time valuing players. Because this is same trade people are proposing for DeBrincat and its too much. Now it's too much for Matthew Tkachuk,the exact player Devils fans are drooling about ( Heavier skill)?</div></div>

I'm of the opinion that there is almost no trade worth it for 2oa. Swap out Holtz and Smith for say, Zacha and Muk and we might be talking, but if Gaudreau isn't a Flame come fall, five bucks says he's a Devil, and if the Devils are waiting for UFA to court Gaudreau, that would mean 2oa is off the table.

If Gaudreau extended with Calgary in the coming days, I would consider a trade for Tkachuk or Debrincat. I'm very heavily inclined to just make the pick, since any one of Wright, Slafkovsky, Cooley, and Jiricek panning out would be worth it.

Thread: Disgusting team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Actually because no GM in their right mind would trade the #2OA (especially in this draft) for 24 year old Elite scoring winger...it's crazy.

Cat is a elite franchise level young player and the #2OA is only a chance at getting that.

LOL, not a chance the Hawks trade Cat for Cooley or Wright....zero chance. These guys aren't Kane or McDavid or Matthews predraft</div></div>

If they were Kane, McDavid or Matthews, do you think we would even be having this discussion? There is no reason to think the #2 pick is in play at all. It’s all been speculation at this point.

Nothing about Debrincat-to-NJD-for-[yikes] makes sense. Chicago will want the assets to focus their rebuild around, which NJD is not giving up. He does not fit our on-ice needs at all. And there are tons of options for NJD. Lastly, if the Devils did make a big splash trade, it would more likely happen after the 2022 draft (and after 2022 free agency opens up).
