Confirmed with Link: Parenteau to NSH for 2017 6th.

[Devils Dominion]

Holy garbageeeee

There is at least hope that 6th round pick could turn into a real player, but Prout is a waste.

Is the 6th 2017 or 2018?

seriously its more important that we are making room for younger players than the return. i would have thought a little more for him.. but every year is different and its obvious this was not a great year for sellers. and quite frankly we didn't have much to offer.. he made the moves nonetheless . the off season will be way more important.. the trade deadline is for teams in the playoffs beefing up rosters and adding missing pieces... would have liked more for both players but didn't want to see either of them back next year... on the flip side i think nashville made a nice trade to get PA good piece to add and we payed them back a little for giving up a 4th for fiddler

Agree with the bolded.

That said, it also seems Shero somewhat misread the market. Early sellers got higher returns. Fiddler, Smith, etc. all brought higher returns that what we saw today.

I like that Shero got a lottery ticket back for Parenteau. It's close to getting nothing back, but it at least lets the kids play.

I hate that Shero got back a contract that runs through next year for Quincey. It's actual negative value.

 

[Brodeur]

Parenteau is going to miss at least 2 games. That probably affected his value.

I wonder if Vrbata not getting traded had an impact as well. Maybe teams would've been on other wingers if he'd been moved early in the day.

I just don't know how many teams viewed Parenteau as a viable top 6 option.

Vrbata has performance bonuses on his deal which complicated things. I think one of the TSN guys mentioned that the acquiring team would have had to pay the bonuses which could cause cap issues.

Preds fan here. Meh reaction about the trade, just coming with a question about his finger. Any word on the severity of it? Honestly didn't know he just got hurt so just wanted to ask.

We were also still very much in the running for the playoffs a few weeks ago, losing Fiddler was fine but PA and Quincey did help us quite a bit. Worth it hold onto them until decision day.

hes fine. he'll be healthy in a week

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

The Devils have no good negotiators! Sad!

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hextall got 2 picks and a forward for a washed up and old d-man.

Very disappointing day for DevilsNation

There has to be some reason for this that we don't know about. Because it just doesn't make sense otherwise.

I almost thought it was a cover up and excuse not to play him the other night, but they did say Quincey was being held out because of a potential trade, but Parenteau was injured in the last game before that.

It's probably not too bad of an injury if he was traded.

??

I know people have told you, I don't know if you're just willfully ignoring it or what, but they took on another year of Filpula's contract. Their deal was not AT ALL comparable to what we did. Stop this nonsense man.

We have the same negotiator who got Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson...

Streit is quite a bit better than Quincey at this point, even though he's almost 40.

I think the Lightning have been wanting to get rid of Filppula's contract for a while now. Frees up cap space for them for next year.

There has to be more to it than just adding a contract. He may think that he can sell that contract to a team that's needs to expose a contract or lose a player they rather not? That's the only thing that makes sense.

Renaud Lavoie confirmed PAP was injured. Makes sense its a 6th i guess

Oilers fan the other night told me we lost this trade though....

 

[mtnet]

Disappointing, but I guess if it's that or nothing...

 

[BenedictGomez]

A 6th.. better than nothing I suppose.

Meh. Better than nothing,

We got a free 6th rounder guys calm down. Claiming PA a week before the season then turning that into a pick is a win.

The historical odds of a 6th round draft pick making the NHL are something like 95% against, so realistically it's basically jettisoning some trash.

But if you home run....

Rather have a 5% chance to get something than an 100% chance to get nothing if we were to keep him for the rest of the season and then let him walk

I realize that sixth round picks are basically nothing. The tiny chance that a sixth round pick could amount to anything is why I said, "Better than nothing." Basically, we traded a player we got off waivers for a likely useless pick. Probably we just broke even but if you want to put a positive spin on it, you could see the sixth round pick as a small net gain.

 

[NJDevils17]

It was lose PAP for nothing, improve our draft position and block young guys in the AHL vs. a 6th round pick. If Shero had a better offer he would've taken it. He didn't. PAP was injured and has consistency issues. This is not a Shero issue. It's an indictment of the market.

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

If you look at it as Parenteau and Fiddler to Nashville for a 4th and a 6th, it doesn't seem as bad.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Stafford got a 6th, PAP got a 6th.

Ya, I think we all expected more, but it still is better then nothing.

Slight off shoot, and something I talked about a couple days ago, but if we could have gotten a 2019 4th, I would have preferred that.
