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

[Uncle Scrooge]

I like these moves by Jersey. Bringing in Grabner and Maroon means they didn't lose anything major, but still improved their team by a pretty significant amount.

This is as much as you can do to help out a team that's likely not going to go far in the playoffs anyway.

I quickly just thought of the vicinity of Boston to NY & NJ

 

[Its a Trap]

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

Isn't worth what? A prospect we weren't going to sign and a 3rd next year? Seems exactly like what the Oilers gave for him if anything.

Maroon had played a significant amount of time away from McDavid this season and the Oilers PP has been a disaster and it's no fault of Maroon's.

He still has 14 goals and 16 assists so far. My opinion, NJ got a steal of a deal. If Patty had spent the whole season beside McDavid those stats would have been ballooned much more.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Honestly, he has decent hands, but his speed, shot, and decision making are all below average. His hockey IQ is highly questionable.

I knew Chia-turd was going to fu*k this up.

I like the return we got for Letestu and Davidson though.

How did Chia f*** this up?

You must know people were lining up to pay a 2nd for patty or something?

I for one, was expecting a second minimum.

AS soon as I heard it was to the Devils, I knew it wasn't the case.

If Maroon re-signs in Edmonton, I'll be happy, but at the same time I definitely expected more, especially with how the market went today.

That being said, I'm looking forward to watching the Devils even more with Hall and Maroon on the team. I hate the deal as an Oilers fan. Chiarelli should have gotten more, but of course, he didn't.

Look at the returns for Vanek and Kane

Again, you have absolutely no idea what the market was for patty.

Based on the other trades that happened today there was no way the Oilers were getting a 2nd for Maroon

 

[THall4]

Anyone claiming he will come back...that NEVER happens. The Oilers direction is to get faster. Spending 3-4M on Maroon doesn't fix that.

 

[THall4]

Look at the returns for Vanek and Kane

Both are far better players..so their returns are adequate.

If we got a remotely better prospect and a lower draft pick my opinion would change. I guess it all depends on what this numb nuts does with all the 3rd rounders we have now as he's said he plans on moving picks for real bodies etc..

I pray that as soon as the season finally against Vancouver, Chiarelli is removed. This team longs for someone that isn't (excuse my language) Pejorative Slured as the GM.

 

[VainGretzky]

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

Grabner has played majority of his career on RW

I like the return we got for Letestu and Davidson though.

The reality what the return was going to be was pretty much right around what NJ paid for him. As Oilers fans we expected much more considering we watch him night in night out and the dirt cheap cap hit for a man who has 30 points.

A big factor could be the past reports he'd like to go play for St. Louis making a extension not possible.

Now that Hall has settled in nicely and having a big year, would have been nice if Ray Shero sprinkled a little sugar on top of the Maroon deal.

Congrats Edmonton, your GM made a better move than ours today.

This, he’s a fan favorite, and would probably want to come back to play with Mcdavid. But we have an unmoveable 6M dollar version of him in Lucic, no room to pay him for the same role

 

[Emperoreddy]

Sounds like there was a chance for Chia to get more at one point.

If hall played center i would like maroon on his wing but he doesnt

 

[Seanaconda]

I dont think Jersey should of gone for it this year tbh

 

[Rolo]

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

Greene - Vatanen
Moore - Severson
Butcher - Lovejoy

So if he was not offered more, should the Oilers have just kept him the rest of the season?

Isn't worth much more than a 3rd. I'm sure if ANY other team in the entire league offered a 2nd the Oilers would have taken it

Oilers traded a fourth and Martin Gernat for him (and the Ducks retained salary) now they move him for a 3rd right before he's a UFA. I don't see any reason to criticize this trade from either teams perspective. Oilers are out of the playoffs and Maroon is a UFA. The Devils are looking to get stronger for their playoff push.

I say good deal for both sides, but on HFboards someone has to be the "loser"

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Somehow a Maroon deal is the most one-sided of the deadline

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

How? Sounds like no one was biting on what chia wanted and had to lower it because 10 minutes later it would be too late.
