Proposal: NJ/AZ Prospect Swap

[Ruutu Tootoo]

Pierre-Oliver Joseph LHD

-Devils need help on LD. Devils have enough forward prospects especially after this draft.



Michael McLeod C/LW

-Excellent skater who projects to be a Middle 6 forward. Would definetly fit the Coyotes game. Can play LW or C. Coyotes are pretty set on LD with OEL and Chychrun.

I didn't like the McLeod pick then and I don't now. I really like POJ, think he'll make a great pro. Coyotes fan passes

Meh. I wouldn’t do this. I would rather just draft some D with our seconds this year but it’s a cool idea. Also don’t see Shero giving up on McLeod yet unless it was for a clear upgrade and not a question mark.

Meh you're overselling McCleods projection. I'd be happy if he ended up a career 3rd liner at this point.

The games he played this season with NJ were with an AHL lineup in the NHL. He had a solid first season in the AHL with 33 points in 55 games. I don’t think the sample size that we’ve seen in his NHL career is indicative of what his career will be in the NHL.

Schmaltz is 23, Dvorak 23, Stepan is 28; but his replacement Hayton is 18. AZ needs D more than a middle six C. Can never have too much C depth but it's not exactly a need for AZ.

My fingers are crossed that POJ is the next Nik Hjalmarsson. I’d rather keep him.
