[Emperoreddy]

Today at 3PM is the NHL Trade Deadline.

Come in here and laugh at other teams as they horribly overpay for over the hill players.

Good morning, hoping for a busy day!

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

I'm fine with what we have currently and hope the most we do is off load our surplus and glut (Hayes, Stafford, Moore, Lovejoy...etc) for picks. IE: The best return possible

I want absolutely nothing to do with Erik Karlsson/Bobby Ryan.

OEL is the only player I look at today, and I don't think that' a deadline deal, but rather a draft day/off-season one.

 

[NJDevils17]

Don’t think we make any major moves. I could see something like JQ being dealt for a defenseman of similar quality.

 

[SeidoN]

I can think of 65 trades I'd like to see the Devils make

But yeah I'm not expecting much. Nothing at forward and maybe something small at D or not at all

I don't think we take on any more defensemen unless we're moving one out. And I don't see Shero dumping Moore or Lovejoy for a pick, especially not after just trading for help. It would send a mixed message to turn around and deal a well respected vet days later.

If anyone finds a TSN feed please share.... I hate the sportsnet guys on nhl.com

 

[Davegarri]

Not expecting anything huge from Ray. I figure we trade one or two guys like lovejoy, Moore, Stafford, or Hayes to get some picks back

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah we really don’t need to be wasting assets on “depth” guys. We already have too many of those.

If we can’t make a trade to upgrade the D I don’t think anything really gets done.

Stafford or Hayes I could see (although I don't know what, if any, value they have). The other two I don't think are going anywhere though.

 

[Billdo]

I’d love to get anything for Hayes and Stafford but I don’t see anyone giving up anything more than a conditional pick for them. Who knows though, it Gionta signs a deal why not them?

 

[Emperoreddy]

They aren’t going to trade away all the depth.

A healthy lineup leaves Stafford and Hayes as the bench warmers they are. I think Shero would prefer to not shake the locker room up just so we can get a 6th round pick back.

As much as I wouldn’t mind them being shipped out, it would send a mixed message to the team to trade either Moore or Lovejoy for futures.

I could see one depth forward being sold off, but not both. I don’t see any D being shipped out

 

[Cheddabombs]

Had a dream we got Namestnikov and he scored 2 goals in the first few minutes of his debut. And then we lost 9-4 lol.

And that's a healthy lineup even 'without' MoJo, once Gibbons gets back now that they added Grabner.

Hall-Hischier-Palmieri
Wood-Zacha-Bratt
Grabner-Zajac-Noesen
Coleman-Boyle-Gibbons
Stafford/Hayes

If we do nothing then the big loser of the day is Mueller.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Wonder if Shero is still talking to Montreal about Galchenyuk or if that ended in the summer.

 

[MadDevil]

Daryl Sutter on a panel? What are they looking to break a record for most mumbling on a panel?

 

[MadDevil]

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Sportsnet likes the Grabner deal much better than Nash because it cost less and "over the past few years, Grabner has been the better player"

 

[Devilsgrl35]

ESPN 3 is streaming the TSN feed for those wanting it.

yah its hard to knock what we paid for Grabner when yo see what Boston gave up for Nash

 

[Davegarri]

Trade for him and move him to RW

 

[Ech0]

Ah yes, time to wear out that F5 key.

 

[Blender]

He's not the only one, I don't think he's looked the same this season at all.

 

[MadDevil]

I tell myself every year that I'm not going to get into the deadline, and here I am again switching between a livestream, Twitter, and HF with little to no sleep.

 

[NJDevs26]

He's not the only one, I don't think he's looked the same this season at all.

It all depends on what you think of how his injury affected him this year and whether it'll be a long-term problem going forward. The panel did talk about how his foot surgery was pretty complicated.
