Devils fans were calling him a top line winger last offseason?
things change when your 6 year old child gets a serious illness.

This one surprises me. No need for cap space and he seemed like a traceable piece. They could have done a 50% retention on him and come out better and got some assets no?
Shattenkirk will be a Devil
7 yrs/ 45.5 mil IMO
Mike Cammalleri was top 10 in scoring in the first half of 2015-2016 season before he got injured. He was playing incredible hockey.
Pardon us Devil fans for thinking he could continue his stellar play. Obviously it did not happen.
When he was playing in 15-16, he was probably our best forward. Shame that his injuries and issues have finally caught up with him, because he was terrible last season.
The point of this buyout was to let Hischier wear his number #13 for the Devils
Devils have a ridiculous amounts of LWs and have supposedly been shopping him for the last year.
1LW - Hall
2LW - One of Zacha or Henrique
Then there's a bunch of young players all capable of playing LW -- Blandisi, Wood, and Quenneville should all get a chance at 3LW. Henrique or Zacha could also both play LW depending on how the Devils center situation shakes out. Also, the Devils have a few more prospects that can play fourth line roles who are all left-handed LW/C.
Just a huge logjam and a player who had an awful season last year.
These are the things you wish you knew as a fan. Did they just try to trade him or did they try to trade him with the retention.
whoa, didnt expect this. i still think he definitely has something left in the tank. bet he ends up in pittsburgh on 87/71 wing and pots 20+.
Devils getting Shattenkirk and Radulov.
His daughter was also sick and you have to imagine that took a toll on him too. Devils fans have been way too hard on him. He was nearly a ppg the year before.
And Kovalchuk....?
Smart move by an otherwise crappy GM.
Good for Shero
