Staal.

That would be a bad trade for the SJS. Staal is going to go to CAR when he is a UFA.

I don't see Eric or Jordan lasting much longer in Carolina TBH.

I would give Garth Snow Andy Greene and our 30th for the 5th overall. But we can't move the 30th right? We're locked with it?

Why would you move Greene (Top 20-30) defenseman for a #5 pick?

yeah its locked. and im glad it is based on that suggestion. not even sure ive id move Greene alone for 5th.

Why would you move Greene (Top 20-30) defenseman for a #5 pick?

Well, for one I wouldn't have to worry about his contract extension and if there was someone at #5 that could immensely help this org down the line.

do we really have cause to worry about Greene extending?

Nobody at 5 is going to help the NJD as much as Greene will over the next 5 years.

The guy that really intrigues me is Nick Ritchie. I have a feeling he may move up into the top 5. He's a physical right wing with a lot of upside. That may be the only guy that I would target.

 

[Devils Trap]

Zero chance I move Greene for the 5th overall

No thanks

No organization with a brain trades Greene for that type of player.

Nick Ritchie is ranked 16 in Craig Button list and he is a LW.

Honestly, if they give up Kreider I would be so happy.

Kreider is going to be a beast in this league for years to come.

Honestly, if they give up Kreider I would be so happy.

Kreider is going to be a beast in this league for years to come.

I've been hearing this for years now and he has a grand total of 40 career points. I'll believe it when I see it.

He had a pretty solid year this year. He's a huge dude with insane skating ability. He put up 17 goals this year in 70+ games I believe? As a second year player, that is not bad at all. I would be thrilled if we had a 17 goal player this year. That's fourth on our team last year.

He seems like his potential could definitely be in the 25+ goal range.

Honestly, if they give up Kreider I would be so happy.

Kreider is going to be a beast in this league for years to come.

Agree, he was the main reason why they came back vs Pitts.
He's got all the tools, all he needs is some more game experience.

Lou was going to draft him which makes it worse, but the Rags snagged him right before our pick and we got stuck with Josefson.

Ironically, the Rags also now have the pick after Josefson, John Moore.
