For those not wanting to trade for Duchene, do you guys think we should trade Hall and Schneider?
In my opinion Shero has two routes to go:
Route 1 is to keep Hall and Schneider. Go HARD after Shattenkirk. Go hard after Duchene/Top 4 LHD/Top 6 winger. And try to make playoffs as early as next season.
Route 2 is to trade Hall and Schneider and go full on rebuild mode. 2018 tank for Dahlin.
In my opinion I would go route 1. Devils haven't made the playoffs in 5 straight seasons now. Its time to get back to the post season. The Pru Center will be EMPTY for the next two seasons if Shero goes option 2.
If he wants to go middle ground and keep Hall/Schneider but continue to just build through the draft, then we will most likely lose Hall due to a trade request.
If he goes option two now then these first two years were an utter failure, he could have just traded Cory and others before now to blow it completely up instead of treading water THEN blowing it up.
