Value of: LHD to New Jersey

[Beauner]

What if I told you there's a veteran LHD with 4 years of team control left, with playoff experience and rarely misses games due to injury? And that he'd be available for the low, low price of a conditional 7th round pick?

He's all yours if you're up for it.

Exactly. This is a tough deal to do.

Maybe Dumoulin if Pittsburgh need to shed a D. I also like Darnell Nurse from Edmonton.

NJ fans will hate me, but I would make Jesper Bratt available to get one of these two. I am confident we have a ready made replacement for Bratt in Jesper Boqvist, if Bratt was traded for a top 4 D.

Yeah, that's not happening.

This particular player also played on the top pair sometimes last season as well. What more could you want?!

So what would be the main piece in that offer for Nurse?

Isles and Devils have a small history of trades. Add in Lou and a deal can be made.



Hickey for a late pick.

Veteran NHL defenseman that has playoff experience. Isles have a lot of LHD and some young defenders they want to turn to so Hickey was waived.

why would they do that when they could have claimed for free literally 1 day ago?

There’s always reasons. We’ve seen guys who were waived and then Traded after. A lot goes into it. Number of contracts and paper transactions.

A player who’s going to be your #8 holds more value after he has cleared.

With Smith in juniors the Devils have terrible depth. A Hickey or Djoos in the minors would be worth a late pick.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Alec Martinez will probably be a deadline deal. However this depends on one of the kings kids stepping up and showing there ready for a top 4 spot. If they do he will be available/ Would the devils be interested

That contract negates any interest I might have had in a vacuum. No interest.

Ok cool. Did you let Shero know yet?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Maybe Dumoulin if Pittsburgh need to shed a D.

nah bro

 

[Nico Hischier]

Any deal we should be looking for an upgrade on Sami Vatanen who is currently Subban’s partner

One very big problem with Dillon is that he's only signed through this year. So I think that would make Zacha too much for him. He's set to be a UFA after this year.

Dillon has performed very well while playing 16-17 minutes a night in San Jose. He's been very good for a bottom pairing defenseman and I think he'd perform well as a middle pairing guy too. He was playing 21 minutes a night as a rookie in Dallas and in his second year there also. That was quite a while ago.

Maybe I'm a little higher than Zacha than to want to trade him for Dillon, but if Dillon were signed beyond this year it would probably be fair.

I actually agree with you on the term being an issue in valuation. Dillon will be easy to extend, but Zacha for 3years (and then 1 RFA left) is more valuable than 1 year of Dillon. If Dillon agreed to a reasonable extension prior to the trade (immediately signing an extension) it would be roughly fair. Otherwise, I imagine we add an NHL ready bottom six fwd prospect or a 3rd round pick. And FYI, Dillon is our #4D right now, he can play that adequately with the right partner (currently, Karlsson). His Trade Value is a solid/reliable #5 in my estimation.

I've always been intrigued with Zacha, as he just doesn't seem to be living up to his potential yet. My proposal is based on the hope of him playing with our Hertl (fellow countryman speaking same language) may rub off on him and help for things to finally "Click". Zacha could be our 3C once Thornton retires, assuming Zacha improves some with age. (Which I am willing to bet will happen)

The Canes have enough LD in my opinion: Any interest in Joel Edmundson? Or Haydn Fleury?

Fluery was a guy I thought about whats going on with him? Pushed down because of all the studs at the top?

I think the biggest problem is that the Sharks have no one to be their number 4 as of now without Dillon.

Though he was part of a deal to get another D-man, which the Devils could not have done, I thought Edmundson would have been the perfect D man for the Devils to pair with Subban.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Forbort for a 3rd

 

[Justshootmore]

In my opinion he is good enough to play in the NHL and I wouldn't worry if he way on the third pairing, to be a Top4 guy he needs to take the next step this year.

I like Edmundson but it depends on what he would cost

draft pick? Forward prospect?

 

[Viqsi]

Title of thread should be amended to say 1LD. No point other teams making proposals offering LD that can’t play on the first pair.

We have a solid 2nd pairing LD in Will Butcher and Andy Greene while he has regressed, should be still capable of playing bottom pairing minutes.

We basically need to find another Subban situation. A top pairing D whom a team may want to dump for cap reasons.

Ryan Murray has been potentially available all summer, but we have price expectations that seem to put people off. That said, the thing we could really use is a top-quality LW...

Maybe Dumoulin if Pittsburgh need to shed a D.

If they need to shed a D, it won't be Dumoulin. He's far too important over there.

 

[Revelation]

Djoos and Hickey would both have been upgrades on Mueller. Djoos could have even potentially clicked with Subban. He did alright with Carlson after all
