That makes my point. The majority of the board likes it when the Devils trade picks for players. How are we getting out of the next 5 years at $6 mil of that Simmonds contract you gave out last year?
WTF are you talking about?
I’m certain you know this but I’m not the GM of the New Jersey Devils, so whatever proposal I write on a message board, good or bad, won’t have any effect on our team.
I’ll comment on deals that actually got approved by the league and moving 2nd round picks and an unproven prospect for a legit top#4 dman was a no brainer move to make. The biggest asset we gave up was cap space, which we still have a ton of.
If you want to wait until all our picks start to materialize, we’ll just be wasting way the prime years of our current youngsters... and then we’ll have to trade Hischier and Hughes because they won’t fit the timeline of the kids we draft this year or next year.
Your vision is a revolving rebuild that has no end and I don’t want that.
