Confirmed with Link: NYI trade Durandeau to NJ for Tyce Thompson

[Rehabguy]

Questionable trade. I really liked the offensive instincts in Durandeau. He brought speed, stick-handling abilities, playmaking potential but Lou trades him for another Pageau type grinding player whose only qualification was that he's the brother of Tage and born on LI. Hopefully this kid turns into something special but I have a feeling Durandeau is going to just add more firepower to an already potent Devil's line-up.

Durandeau is not going to sniff that lineup unless the Devils get into major injury troubles.

24 year old minor leaguers rarely turn into anything but career minor leaguers.

But somehow he's going to add firepower.

Because Durandeau is the next one we let get away. Verhaeghe II.
