So would every team but it wont work out that way.
A 1st top 5-10 protected, defer to 2020 is fine to me I doubt were a bottom feeder next year

There’s no way I’m dealing next years 1st. It only takes one crucial injury for us to be in the same spot as we are now and that’s too much of a gamble when acquiring someone like Fowler.

You expect a 1st round defenseman to become Fowler or higher quality so I dont see the problem. Smith looks to be high calibur so getting a Fowler from our next pick after this year where we likely get a forward? How is that bad?
The reason I’m not doing it is because we can be giving up a top #5 pick and I wouldn’t trade a top #5 pick for Fowler.
However, I wouldn’t mind giving it up at the draft, knowing our actual position.

I mean if we pick top 5-7 this year (which is why it would defer), then we cant complain that much if the next year ended up top 5-7 as well. We still have Fowler to show + Smith and the top 5-7 2019 pick...
Id do it for sure

Hi, I'm mat.
Hmm...
Wonder what we can get out of some of those teams
Pittsburgh is rumored to be very active in the trade market as well, they also made some room cap wise by moving oleskiak

I'd rather go big and try to acquire Lindholm. I think we should be willing to take on Perry or Kesler to get it done.

He was really good last year. Seems like he has been playing hurt and now taking time to get healthy. Same with Hall? Have they said anything more about either injury?

I imagine some of those teams were there to check out Brassard - Pittsburgh has basically said they're going to move him.

Perry sounds fine, it’s only 2 more years....if they’re that motivated to move the contract.

Would love Fowler on the team. His stats aren't out of the world this year so I think this could be a good buy low candidate
Two things that could help the Devils here and in future moves are (1) acquiring a cap dump, someone they don't even need to buyout right away if (2) they can expose the cap dump in the expansion draft just before buying them out (recall that teams need to expose a few full-time players so it's little harm to keep them on board for a year)
I would be happy to do something along the lines of Matt Niskanen and Ilya Samsonov for Mojo and 2020 2nd (conditional on Samsonov playing 10+ games for the Devils in 2019-20, else the Devils get a 2020 3rd from Washington -- I know he's in Hershey right now, but he's still a potential return to Russia risk if he ends up in Bingo), which would allow the Caps to compete this year and gives them money to bring back both Bura and Mojo. Devils get another good goalie prospect, who happens to be from the same draft as Mac Black. Niskanen shores up the Lovejoy bottom-pairing RD role and happens to be a former Shero acquisition

Crazier that Coleman is on pace for nearly 30 goals. Unbelievable how well these two have played all things considered.

Cam Fowler would be great for this team. He's not going to score at an amazing rate but he can skate well, is long, defends well and is good with the puck. Smart 2 way top pairing D man on a good contract for the next 6+ years. We need that type of D men to anchor the top pair, points aside we need to defend and get the puck out of the zone.

His cap hit is still his full cap hit.
A team may go over the upper limit of the cap by the amount of salary on LTIR. A team doing this accumulates no additional cap space to use as the season goes on.

Maybe Ray could have the organization send out a super double secret code to all registered Devils fans and give us a super TRIPLE secret injury and team status update. Then nobody else would know except Devils fans! See how easy that would be?
