What a weird trade. I’d prefer Martinez to Greene.

I don’t mind a vet defenseman but the price is High imo. Would prefer to give Aho a shot instead of giving up a 2nd round pick.

This is Lou having feelings from his Devils days.

Lou told Garth to call up Andy Greene from the farm club, and Garth actually made the trade while Lou was napping.

Helps fill the Pelech void and is some depth if/when Pelech comes back. He's been playing 20 minutes a night for the Devils and is a +1 on the season.

I’d prefer Martinez to Greene.
I think Martinez has another year whereas Greene is a rental if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Lou has a relationship with Greene and thinks he can re-sign him for another year if needed? Familiarity and flexibility, plus I think Greene has been healthier than Martinez the past couple of years.

You can give Aho a shot and still trade for a vet defenseman.

That being said, I’m not a big fan of Andy Greene.

I guess I just don’t like the price. Lou’s connection and familiarity here played a big part. Martinez would have been a better option imo.

Basically the Pelech injury cost us a 2nd round pick and we still need to find some scoring.

If Lou gave up a 2nd round pick for a rental, that tells me maybe another trade is coming for a forward (maybe a C).

Garbage. This is exactly the type of move I did not want. Now we have no second in 2021. For a 37 year old rental. And we still have huge holes. Typical Lou move. This is bad asset management.

Lou misplayed Dobson. He should have been in JR this year.

Wonder what this means for Dobson’s playing time? He had a really bad game against Vegas but for the most part since becoming a regular he’s been good imo.


You’re not trading a 2nd for a guy to be a depth 7th defenseman.

Martinez probably warrants a first. I like this trade, we could always get back that 2nd in another deal. Still at 47 contracts, no way Lou is done and Quenneville is a nothing prospect.

Also, giving up a 2021 2nd leads me to believe our 2020 1st is on the table.
