Rumor: Devils finalizing a trade

[Langdon Alger]

The Devils likely have three trades remaining:

Palmieri + 2021 5th round pick to Boston for David Backes + Urho Vaakanainen + 2020 1st round pick + 2020 2nd round pick + 2021 2nd round pick + 2021 3rd round pick

Vatanen to Carolina for 2020 1st round pick

Simmonds to Vancouver for Baertschi + 2021 2nd round pick

no way you’re getting that much for Palmieri.

no way you’re getting that much for Palmieri.

.... If anything, the Bruins are getting the better end of the stick. Devils doing the Bs a favor.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

Bold amount on Palms, no? I mean I like it but wow.

Taking Backes is a hefty price.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Taking Backes is a hefty price.

not that hefty. You’re going to be dissapointed.

 

[TBF1972]

Well you can take Pelletier if you view him higher, but yeah im not sure on Nj's needs? Maybe subtract the last 1st and do both Vali and Pell?

The problem is Lucic and his NMC. Toxic in regards to the expansion draft. Toronto paid a 1st to dump 6m for 1yr. Do the math.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

not that hefty. You’re going to be dissapointed.

Market price for Backes has been set by Marleau trade to Carolina.

Boston will need to give up their first round pick to get Backes off the team.

If they want Palmieri then they are going to find another first rounder and a top prospect for Palmieri. Palms is not going to be traded for a deal any less than what Devils got for Coleman.

 

[Devil made me do it]

One Miles Wood please.

Why would the Devils do that?

 

[MasterMatt25]

Did we ever find out what it was

 

[HolyGhost]

Did we ever find out what it was

Nope. 12 hours later and we are still waiting. 4th period is now just like hockey buzz but worse

 

[Forge]

Pretty sure he got fooled by a fake report that went out. Friedman was fooled as well.

The team is not obligated to buy out Backes and he can be LTIRd eventually. Marleau was a guarantee to be a cash buy out and 6.25 million cap hit no matter what because of the NMC and 35+ contract.

 

[CraigBillington]

Palmieri is an established player with term. Byram is the next big bust but maybe NJ can salvage something out of him. Seems smart for the Avs, honestly.

Seems legit, being a bust 42 games into his D+1 season....

You cant say he can be LTIR eventually when he is healthy. If he could be put on LTIR today, Boston wouldnt have a pressing cap issue.

 

[beekay414]

Lol, why does everyone want Wood so bad?

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Don't tell them.

 

[BostonBob]

Palmieri + 2021 5th round pick to Boston for David Backes + Urho Vaakanainen + 2020 1st round pick + 2020 2nd round pick + 2021 2nd round pick + 2021 3rd round pick

I was going to post " Bruins say hell no " but that 5th round pick is starting to sway me.

 

[Blackjack]

Did we ever find out what it was

trade is taking forever to finalize

 

[Blackjack]

I was going to post " Bruins say hell no " but that 5th round pick is starting to sway me.

remember we’re a bad team, so it’s an early 5th.

There is a non-zero possibility unlike Marleau.

 

[TBF1972]

Severson?

He was once again brilliant against STL. Really promoting himself.

You can do also the math like this:
Salary in: 4.65m/yr
Salary out: 6m/yr
Net Salary: -1.35m/yr

The term is identically. So Coleman at 1.8m or Palmieri at -1.35m. Even if you consider Coleman the superior player you would expect more than a 1st and Foote like prospect from the Devils end. I consider the asking price of Bet the Over too rich, but not out of the world. Vaakanainen, 1st and 2nd is a realistic ask. May even add something conditional, if Boston makes it back to the SCF.

Dammit - now I'm really starting to sway.

 

[RalphyDanger]

Most GMs would be excited to be able to get Wood.

Ya, that’s the problem with being in the “Old Boys Club”.

 

[BB88]

Reports are we are only asking for a second lol

You’d think teams would be lining up with that price, but don’t sell him as the last D-man

I don't believe it'll be in this years draft if so.

The Gm who made that deal will more than likely will be unemployed in the very near future. Not saying that won't be what it'll cost to dump Backes,but Im sure Sweeney is smart enough not to deal this years first in a very deep draft year.

The leagues GM's are much brighter than to allow whatever Dubas does to sets the standards for other GMs around the league.

 

[Mantis]

no way you’re getting that much for Palmieri.

If they take Backes they could, especially if Bruins get to keep Studnicka.
