It's just a short sighted move, Devils have basically Jack Hughes's contract (next 6.5 years) as a window to win a cup minimum. Cup runs are full of random luck and BS, there's no reason to mortgage the future here, try to have a contender for 6.5 years and hope to get lucky / over the hump.I understand.
I always weigh that a bit, would I keep a prospect if he's apart of the plan for the long term future if I could have a real great chance at a cup? What if the team wins the cup? Would I even care that they left?
Maybe Nemec is a big part of the team and helps get the team over the finish line in 1-2 years too.
Again I think this trade only happens if Nashville decides they need to trade Saros for futures, there won't be a hockey trade as the Nashville fans are pointing out.
