Thread: MIN NJD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Valley_Milkman</b></div><div>
Also curious what NJD fans think of the other deal. It obviously implies the the Devils are moving towards competing sooner, but I think it might be something that they consider sooner rather than later given Schneider's age.</div></div>

Terrible trade for NJ. Giving up one of our top prospects and a 1st in next year's stacked draft for a cap dump in Ryan and a bit of an overrated player in Ceci. I'd be interested in those players in other deals but not involving these assets.

I would actually really love the idea of getting Ryan for like a mid-round pick and a decent prospect. Devils are light on RW, Ryan is from the area and would be a nice veteran to add to the young squad. Ottawa wants to get out of that contract and we have the cap space.

Schmidt would be an acceptable replacement for Theodore as well. I know Vegas doesn't want to move them but going up to #1, you gotta overpay. And to be clear, it's Theodore and 2 1sts. The idea is that they trade up to #3 by giving Dallas an extra 1st, leaving Vegas with 2 1sts: #3 and #13.

Pretty sure that Galchenyuk is exactly that...?

Thread: Realistic Outlook Possibilities
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>How often does a rebuilding team basically win free agency? Not often. It's hard to imagine that both Eaves and Shattenkirk, regardless of dollars, would want to sign with a rebuilding team, especially when the Devils will apparently need to compete with a $6.5 million + AAV over 7 year offer from the Rangers for Shattenkirk. The Ducks like Eaves very much, as well. I think the Devils would be much wiser to take on some short-term bargain contracts, which they can then turn into future assets at next years trade deadline.</div></div>

Not interested in Eaves personally but Shattenkirk makes a ton of sense for the Devils. Getting a stable D-man that can move the puck will help us take a huge step forward. Plus we have the money AND he's been adamant about being a #1, which he would easily be here. And frankly, I don't think the Rangers can afford him without making some significant changes. Too many RFAs to re-sign.
