Try again. Check on the left, I've been here since 2008. I've been on this board long enough to notice a few trends regarding posters' value evaluations of their prospects.I'm betting you literally turned 20 in the last few months and that's where this pompous, high horse nonsense is coming from. Adults understand basic asset evaluation. Why trade one exceptional asset for a handful of good assets?
No he wouldnt. Hed be beggingShero would immediately laugh though.
And he should!
Quinn Hughes is generally regarded as one of the three best prospects in the world. Regardless of your storied experience with this forum of keyboard warriors, I'm assuming you haven't seen a plethora of mangers trade a #1 or #2 ranked prospect in the world for a collection of lesser projects?Try again.

Agreed. Sorry, I actually got confused with a Canucks fan in a separate thread that made the offer of Taylor Hall + next year's pick for Quinn Hughes. It wasn't here - I think it was on the Devils board or a different thread.Quinn Hughes is generally regarded as one of the three best prospects in the world.

There's a reason for that...
Smith for Juolevi, 10th OA and Lind? Isn't that like a crazy overpayment? I like Smith, but his value hasn't grown to that degree. It doesn't make sense to sell low on Juolevi either. He deserves a chance first.Smith for Juolevi, 1st, and Lind
There's no way it's this certain. The Devils are not an awful team. Some depth, prime Taylor Hall, an older Hischier, plus add in Hughes, and this team could be anywhere next year. Who thought Calgary would pick 25-30 this year? Who thought Columbus would make the playoffs and potentially beat TB? And NYI would make the playoffs and potentially beat Pittsburgh? Three teams that could all pick 25-31 (ignoring trades). No one predicted that.
Smith for Juolevi, 1st, and Lind
Columbus and Calgary have way more talent than the Devils do and NYI (they probably have more top to bottom talent than NJ as well) had a coaching change which was successful.
I don't see any of those 3 things in New Jersey.
Hischier is a great young talent but is only 20 and not really ready for 1C duties.
Zajac isn't a good #2 center and will be 34 next year, maybe Zacha takes a step forward?
Hall is injury prone and after him the winger situation in New Jersey is probably one of the worst in the NHL.
The back end is a mess as well and goaltending is at best average.
All of that goes to my prediction that they have a 85ish% chance of having another top 10 pick next year.
Even if they got Quinn added to the mix many of those other problems would need to be overcome with little indicating that it is likely to happen.
Using a small sample of games and stats to prove that a certain player is better than another is ridiculous.everyone saying Quinton is better than Ty is ignoring Tys 3 points in 5 games to Hughes 2 points in 7 at the u20s

Bratt and Palmeiri are not crap. Wood and Coleman are great bottom 6 wingers. Boqvist looks like he might be a top 6 winger. Winger depth isn’t the best in the league but it’s far from the worst.
On defense you have Ty Smith and Jeremy Davies probably joining the team next season. Reilly Walsh probably isn’t too far behind.
Blackwood looks like a legit starting goaltender.
They made a miracle run to the playoffs last year with a much worse team. They’re going to be adding a lot more talent next season. Shero can also make some trades or free agent pick ups too with all of the cap space they’ll have.

You don't have to resort to making ridiculously stupid statements at the expense of making a point. If you don't think Quinn Hughes is a top 3 prospect (even though most people around the league would disagree with you), that's one thing. Spewing nonense is another.Top 3 in the world? Lol he’s not even clearly top 10 in his draft class.
