Value of: LHD to New Jersey

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

What would you offer for Dermott?

He's cheap right now for another season and can play the right side. (This is contingent on the Leafs signing one of Barrie/Muzzin to an extension in season).

I mean, I like Dermott, but something tells me the Leafs would like to hang onto him. He seems poised for a cheap bridge deal next summer, and that's worth its weight in gold for Toronto.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

We got the defenseman for you! JJ has the pedigree being the 3rd overall pick and has been a top pairing defenseman for many of his years. Pens would hate to give him up but I am sure you could pry him away for someone like Hall.

 

[MichaelJ]

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...

I'd actually really like Jesper Bratt on Columbus.

Murray for Bratt

Murray for Bratt

It's intriguing. I'd have to watch more of Bratt to really know. Right now I think the Devils get the better player in the trade, but with the age difference it might make sense for the Jackets. They need more playmaking ability up front. Certainly if the Jackets get to the point where they want to write off this year and look forward, then the deal would look appealing.

With Bratt it’s definitely an upside acquisition but he already has great playmaking ability, sees the ice well, and is quick and shifty. Devils would be getting the better, more established player right now and fills a need. Long-term I think Bratt can be the superior player. I’m sure a small add could be negotiated if a 1-for-1 doesn’t do it.

It would be incredibly dumb to trade Bratt

Murray for Bratt

You have my attention.

 

[Smitty426]

Shero wont trade Bratt, they love the kid. Unless he's part of a bigger pkg bringing back a topish lefty, I don't see it.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

you guys can't ask for a top 4 LHD without wanting to give up something of value

I love Bratt too but if he could get us a real useful young LHD then I would be all ears.

 

[Nico Hischier]

Jones for Jesper bratt and Sami Vatanen

 

[TBF1972]

Jones for Jesper bratt and Sami Vatanen

Please? Why would Columbus do that?
Jones is Hughes and Hischier territory and CBJ fans would ask for an add.

Zacha and Bratt would flourish in cbj their forward lineup is depleted

Jones for Jesper bratt and Sami Vatanen

dude come on

would you trade them Hischier or Hughes for Josh Anderson?

no, you wouldn't.

 

[Nico Hischier]

dude come on

would you trade them Hischier or Hughes for Josh Anderson?

no, you wouldn't.

Yeah but I don’t want to be trading with cbj for anything less. I’m not on board with the murray proposal

 

[My3Sons]

dude come on

would you trade them Hischier or Hughes for Josh Anderson?

no, you wouldn't.

Ok fine. NJ adds Lovejoy’s unlisted cellphone number. What else could they possibly want.

 

[justafan22]

hypothetically though?

 

[Viqsi]

dude come on

would you trade them Hischier or Hughes for Josh Anderson?

no, you wouldn't.

That's pretty much how I probably would've put it.

FTFY. The answer to Jones proposals is always no, no matter what you offer.

 

[Classic Devil]

Jones is a multiple-Norris Trophy defenseman in the making. Bratt is a 50 point forward and Vatanen is a pending UFA top-4 defenseman.

 

[Classic Devil]

You have my attention.

Not mine though. I would not do it. While I say 50 point forward, Bratt has the potential for bigger and better things. Murray would be a good addition, but his contract status means he's likely not part of the team's future core, while Bratt could be. If I'm trading Bratt it would have to be for someone with more years of team ownership secured.

 

[MichaelJ]

Jones is obviously off the table for CBJ. Is Werenski too?

 

[Nico Hischier]

I actually don’t think we should be trading in division. But if we do, the one I really liked was edmundson in Carolina

 

[hockeyguru]

Don't babble ignorant nonsense about things you clearly know nothing about. Insisting Murray isn't top pairing is like insisting Palmieri isn't a top-6 winger - it's inexcuable ignorance that hasn't even been potentially justifiable as a position for nearly half a decade.

blah blah blah blah blah blah. blah!

career high of 29 points, glass man, plays an average of 20:24 in his career. not a top pairing dman

 

[Viqsi]

Jones is obviously off the table for CBJ. Is Werenski too?

Technically no, but he's in that "you're giving up one of Hischier or Hughes" territory, which I suspect from the Devils' perspective is a distinction without a difference.

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your third line RW.

 

[Curufinwe]

I still say Hagg is your best bet. Let's get it done before Wednesday night.

 

[njdevil26]

I would be all in on Zadarov. We absolutely need his size and toughness in our own end.
