lhd+top 6 forward. Something like Brodin+Granlund

Quality value is there, but Patches is on 2.5y deal.

Granlund is RFA, Brodin 4.5y. Practically we are giving 10 years of quality player term for 2.5y of Patches.

Not sure if we that much in "right now" mode.

Because of Hall and Cammalleri there isn't enough room for another left winger but just out of curiosity, what else should Devils put into the package if another trade chip would be another underachiever Adam Henrique (last year 30 goals and 20 assists, this season 5 g and 6 a)?

Henrique is two years younger than Pacioretty, but Pacioretty is much more consistent than Henrique (three vs. one 30 goal seasons; or four 60+ point seasons vs. two 50+ seasons). Henrique is pretty good defensively, don't know much about Pacioretty's defensive skills. Henrique is center who can play left wing, and there is 2 1/2 year left his contract ($ 4.000.000 per season).

I like Henrique as a player, so I don't want to see him change the team – especially because it would weaken our forward group (Zajac and Henrique are our only TOP6-centers; Zacha might be in a few years). Just speculating.
