Value of: Sami Vatanen for comparable LHD or 2nd line LW/RW

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

The Devils are set on the right side with PK Subban and Damon Severson so if they could find a taker for Vatanen, I think they might jump at the chance. Vatanen is signed for 1 more year at $4.875 million

Their last remaining needs are a 2nd line winger and a DMAn comparable to Vatanen that can play the left side.

The first players that come to mind are TJ Brodie on D and Mike Hoffman and Tyler Toffoli as wingers. Not sure how realistic that is but just spitballing.

Any thoughts? Anyone interested?

Toffoli also came to my mind rather quick, id imagine the Kings would add a piece?

 

[Toby Flenderson]

Pettersson and Hornqvist for Vatanen and Wood

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Since you guys have cap space, would you mind taking Frolik at a bit retained and Brodie for Vatanen and a pick?

They have an extra RD so they add a pick to trade him for another RD and a cap dump?

Brodie prefers the right, eventhough he's a leftie

I think Anaheim should re acquire him

for Rackell?

Im not so sure that LA would want a 28yr old for TT, they'd probably be looking for picks and prospects.

What kind of package of picks and prospects would it take from New Jersey to acquire Toffoli?

His value is at an all time low so I can't imagine much. Though I think a change of scenery would serve him well.

LA probably waits for TT to hopefully return to some sort of form under a new coach, before flipping him near the deadline if they dont plan on re upping him.

If he was moved now id ask for a 2nd and decent prospect, if at the deadline with a 20 -30 goal return to form id be after a 1st +

for Rackell?

so you want us to trade a player who is younger/better/cheaper than Rico was when we traded vats for, for an older vats only signed for one more season? come on now.

Well other than Rackell, not really any other Duck forwards that would interest the Devils. So not really any deal to be had here.

Can you use their real names please? The rest of us don’t personally know them on a nickname basis like you do.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

for Rackell?

Yeah if you're willing to trade your next 5 unprotected 1st rounders...

He means Adam Henrique.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I think that as the Devil high office sees things is that Sami Vatanen is regarded highly in the defensive department of the squad. Sami is also relatively cheap dollarwise, so it is hard to see why to remove him...

 

[Be a Hab]

for Rackell?

That was awful.

Rico is Henrique, so not knowing that is fair. But Vats is pretty easy to figure out...

Also context..

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Highlyy doubt NJ gets a top 6 forward for a D man less than a year from UFA

Silfverberg is literally a 2nd RW. While Rakell is a 1st line winger with much more value than Vats, so even bringing him up makes no sense.

 

[Muffinalt]

Pettersson and Hornqvist for Vatanen and Wood

This seems like a good deal.

for Rackell?

Do people not know rakell or something?

Thought those days were over but guess not

 

[Kalv]

As a Ducks fan would love to have Vats back but I don`t think we are good trade partners.
But some suggestions here are head scratching. Vats is signed for 1 year and is an UFA after. He is not making much sense for teams not being in contention for the cup.

Kessler was a thing too. Still is
