Confirmed with Link: Kyle Quincey Traded to Columbus for Dalton Prout

[KovalchukFistPump]

Maybe Shero saw that he was getting no return on Quincey so he decided to take a chance on Prout for possible future returns? He's one of those guys that gains value with experience as a "solid" defensive d-man if he plays well in the next year and maybe gets traded for a pick. If not, well no big loss it's a small contract.

Just trying to make sense of this.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hate the trade.

Prout is slow and bad, will be a whipping boy here.

 

[Belizarius]

I'm just going to laugh every time I hear the name.
In French, that's not a good name.

It's also negative value for Shero in future trades if he just takes a crap return for no reason.

No, it isn't. He can just say **** off. As oppose to trying to hook a stop gap FA when you just made a vet on an expiring contract play meaningless hockey for no reason.

This logic I've seen twice now is silly. It's just like the people that highlight 1 bad trade/signing, and use that as the benchmark for everything else. It's dumb.

 

[Billdo]

I'm not sure what the game here is if we're not getting some kind of pick. Why do we want Prout? His contract becomes an anchor, and we don't need him on the roster for the purposes of the expansion draft.

An anchor...

 

[Brodeur]

Thought Prout was a forward for some reason.

I got mixed up initially too. My kneejerk thought was that it was winger Dalton Smith who Columbus took 34th overall in 2010 (over his junior teammate Tyler Toffoli). I didn't realize Prout was signed for that much next season.

Can't say I understand this one.

 

[Better Call Sal]

The scouting report from CBJ looks pretty rough.

And people thought Quincey was slow.

 

[Bleedred]

Meh

Prout sucks

And why do I get the feeling that Parenteau's injury is gonna keep him from being injured?

This probably means no Auvitu.

The Prout-for-Quincey deal is straight-up.

Well, that's a loser of a deal then. We got far below equal value .. no way to spin it as a good deal in that case.

Prout is complete garbage. Don't understand this move at all. That's actually an extremely good move for Jarmo to get a servicable depth defenseman at the deadline while moving a bad player off the roster.

 

[SeidoN]

**** off Shero

 

[Devils731]

This deal arguably makes the Devils worse now and next year.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Sorry but this trade absolutely is trash for us.

Prout is garbage, he'll make LJ look good, that' how horrid he is.

I'm not a Lovejoy fan and he is substantially better than Prout. There's no comparison.

It HAS to be a thank you to Jarmo for letting us have Castron and some of his scouts. Has to. Otherwise this is just stupid.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

First of Ray's deals here in NJ that I think is pretty poor. Hope to be wrong, but can't pretend to be enthusiastic about this.

 

[None Shall Pass]

The overreaction in this thread is making my day so much better. We traded a #6-8 D-man for a #6-8 D-man. You guys wanna borrow some of my Xanax? Sheesh.

Quincey was top 10 on all of the available player boards heading into the day today. There's no reason why he couldn't return at least a 3rd or 4th. By the numbers, Quincey is a #4/5 dman with a digestible contract. Prout is AHL fodder.

 

[blink]

This is like shuffling chairs on the Titanic....

Why?!?!

 

[Cheddabombs]

Darn we didn't get a precious 3rd or 4th round pick for a guy leaving us in a month. I'm not thrilled with the deal but it's not the end of the world guys...

 

[Devils731]

I hope we get to hear Shero's reasoning on this deal at his conference call later.

I agree with others that this isn't that important that this is a bad deal but I'd still like to know why the Devils made a deal that seems bad.
