Confirmed Trade: [NJD/EDM] Patrick Maroon for J.D. Dudek, 2019 3rd round

[Emperoreddy]

He nothing until hw started playing with McDavid . Real likeable guy tho . NJD just got slower however Maroon is smart enough to still be in the right places , Nice shot , Goes to the front of the net

Not worried about speed. We have speed for days. We needed some grit and net front presence.

He’ll provide that, he also has good hands and goes to the right areas, can play with skill and not look out of place

its a solid pickup. problem with edm is they are too slow minus a few players. NJ has the speed, they need grit and net presence which he does well. great hands also for a big guy

 

[Draiskull]

Maroon will be good for NJ..
only thing is that he does not play RW... he is strictly a LWer.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Underwhelming return. Dudek looks like nothing - has worse numbers at 22 than McPhee and Rasanen, 19 year old Oiler prospects also playing for Boston College.

Thought we’d at least get a 2nd but that went dead in the water when Kane only returned a 2nd (with impossible conditions) and a nothing prospects.

Devils fans, Maroon will thrill you at times and piss you off no end at others. Talented but wildly inconsistent.

That's fine.

Should be able to find a spot playing a grind-it-out game on the third or fourth line with Zajac or Boyle. Likely plays the net front role on the first PP as well.

A 3rd and a former Liverpool keeper....nice.

Chia listened to the Oilers fans... we wanted EK and he delivered. Too bad he got us a Dud version.

 

[njdevil26]

Maybe Grabner will play RW.. or Mojo will when he comes back.

 

[Newsworthy]

Maroon is a free agent that Edmonton wasn't gonna resign anyways.

 

[Draiskull]

Maroon is a free agent that Edmonton wasn't gonna resign anyways.

I wouldnt be so sure about that.
He will test the market but might return to Edmonton.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

Yeah a first..

That wasn't happening despite some posters opinions, late 3rd is an ouch though. Chia needs a lot of band aids.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Maroon will be good for you guys especially with the talent you have up front. He was definitely a product of McDavid but they meshed well and will be sad to see him go. If he finds chemistry with your top 2 lines, he will be a steal. As per usual, Chia didn't get a whole lot according to what I'm seeing here.

 

[HockeyThoughts]

That is some seriously terrible value for a player who scored 27G last season.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Chiarelli is really trying to stack that division the best he can to stick it to the Bruins

?

 

[McSuper]

Anyone bashing this trade needs to see Maroon interview . He said he would circle back to the Oilers in the off season . So a 3rd for a few months lone and 4 or 5 playoff games ...Yes I see NJD going out fast

LOL people bash Draisaitl saying he the produce of McDavid . Yet Maroon who been a 3rd line plug gets 27 goals playing with the best player on the planet and he worth a boat load . We go fair value for him

Pretty much every player says the same thing as a rental player when they're traded. "Yeah of course I'll circle back, I love this city"

It means nothing, its just a player trying to avoid answering tougher questions if he says "Nope, I 'm outtie".

Of course he'll circle back, if the Oilers beat the other offers that his agent wrangles up.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Edmonton did not get enough

 

[sepHF]

You Oilers fans need to figure out what dirt Shero has on Chiarelli. Wow.

Devils forwards once healthy:

Hall-Hischier-Maroon
Grabner-Zacha-Palmieri
Johansson-Zajac-Bratt
Wood-Boyle-Coleman/Gibson/Stafford

20 games of Maroon just isnt worth that much. The Oilers got him for a throw away prospect and a 4th. I don't think Chia did bad here

 

[McSuper]

I wouldnt be so sure about that.
He will test the market but might return to Edmonton.

He already said he will circle back to Edmonton in the off season

Oilers using their virtually nonexistant cap flexibility on Maroon? Not something I’d be bragging about.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

where is this interview with Maroon, I cant find it

 

[Roof Daddy]

That's fine.

Maroon and Boyle on the same line? Enjoy never leaving your own zone, those guys will get buried by a speedy forecheck.

I always maintained Maroon was worth a 3rd, maybe a 2nd if teams got desperate enough and there was a bidding war, but he did us no favours with his play the last month.

Good hands for a big guy, tough and will go to the dirty areas. Can lay a big hit and will drop the gloves. Those are the positives. The negatives are that he will take dumb penalties and is lazy on the back check.

Won’t surprise me if he gets healthy scratched at some point during the playoffs because of those aforementioned negatives.
