Why would you want him is my question?
Lovejoy will get more than a 7th.
Think 3rd or 4th round pick. Devils can retain salary if need be to get the better pick.
I’d offer Matthew Benning for the 5th in 2020. 24yrs, RD, physical 6/7 dman
There’s only, what, like 3 or 4 rental RHDs realistically available this year?
I tend to agree that LJ will get closer to a 3rd.
Prefer Lovejoy but if the Devils didn’t bite- done.
Fair enough, I guess no deal then. Just not too interested in giving up much of anything for a 6-8D depth rental.
Maybe I’d send Buffalo’s 4th if NJ wanted to send a 5th back, but idk if y’all find that too appealing. It’s just that Lovejoy or any other rental depth D isn’t a need we HAVE to fill if that makes sense.
Lovejoy has been a stand-up guy in New Jersey, praised the organization and how much he enjoys playing for the Devils.
I doubt Shero would turn around and spit in his face by trading him to upgrade on a low-round pick.
It doesn’t sound like there’s a deal to be made here.
I think some devils fans on here are over valuing him a little. Honestly I see a 4th or 5th. More than a 7th less than a 3rd though
Eh, I doubt anyone gives up a top 100 pick. 4th maybe, but I’d think the Devils send a 6th or something back in that case.
Pens don’t have a 5th or 6th this year, I’d do a 2020 5th rounder instead though.
Do Devils fans think they'll be re-signing Lovejoy?

Nick Jensen is a better player than Lovejoy and McQuaid. He has been a steady 2nd pairing dman in the Red Wings this season, and his contract is ridiculously low ($ 0,8125 million). I just read that his value is going to be a 2nd or something like that.If you look at the RHD depth this deadline, it’s incredibly weak. Lovejoy and McQuaid are actually at the top of the list. I suppose you can clump Polak with that group, but will Dallas be selling?
After that group, you downgrade significantly to guys like Luke Schenn and Nick Jensen.
Purely speaking from a supply and demand standpoint, you have to think Lovejoy’s return will be at least a little inflated.

How many picks are you adding?
How about the phantom 3rd round pick you owe us for John Hynes?
