Confirmed Trade: [TBL/NJD] Devils trade Blake Coleman to Lightning for Nolan Foote, VAN 2020 1st

[Simarino]

Wow. a 1st round pick for Blake Coleman.

God damn lol.

* 2x first round pick

 

[trellaine201]

First look and this deal looks steep from a Tampa Bay point of view. Win NJ.

 

[Bologna 1]

Nice haul for NJ. But Coleman is a beast and will be a huge boost for tampa heading into playoff grind

 

[inthe6ix]

Renaud Lavoie needs some better sources lol

 

[AfroThunder396]

Bolts fans - you are absolutely going to love this guy, you win playoff rounds with guys like Blake Coleman.

He's basically what John Madden was for us in 2000

 

[Blueboy]

What a haul, wow.

 

[Merrrlin]

Awesome player but that is steep if they don’t win it this year.

 

[Trade]

Coleman got a first? Gonna be an exciting TDL.

great pickup for Tampa.

 

[PG Canuck]

I can’t believe Blake Coleman just got traded for that.

 

[Deedog99]

Wow. WHat an overpay by Tampa. Good for Jersey.

 

[FlameChampion]

Seems like a lot to me. /shrug.

 

[polarbearcub]

Wtf is Tampa doing ... this trade is awful

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly crap what an overpayment for a 3rd liner with 1 year left. I was thinking the return would be a roster player with term and a 2nd or something.

Show me a “third liner” that generates shots, chances, and goals at Coleman’s rate.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Great add for Tampa and futures aren’t their priority, but that was a COSTLY trade for them. Foote is an A prospect and the pick could potentially be a mid round first in a deep draft.

 

[serp]

Holy moly thats expensive. If that sets the market oh boy .

 

[themelkman]

So if we trade Labanc... are we going to get a top ten prospect cause it sure looks like it

 

[Simarino]

Wow. a 1st round pick for Blake Coleman.

God damn lol.

* 2x first round pick

 

[Techcoockie]

and Bergevin is sitting her not trading ANYTHING for first round pick during a strong draft year....


f*** me

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Damn NJ, good trade. Coleman is good but not that good. Great haul. Tampa gets a little deeper for the big playoff push.

 

[robbieboy3686]

What a play !

 

[CupofOil]

Wow. a 1st round pick for Blake Coleman.

God damn lol.

Two 1sts basically and it's Vancouver's 1st so if Vancouver misses the playoffs, it's a lottery pick.

I know that Coleman is good and signed cheap for another year but thanks for f***ing up the buyers market Tampa. That's a crazy price to pay for a guy who was essentially a 3rd liner until this season.

 

[The Nuge]

Fitzgerald is absolutely killing it right now. That’s even more impressive than the Greene trade

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

NJD wins this trade in a vacuum, but I understand Tampa's logic here. Have to try to win when your window is open. Stamkos, Hedman and the rest of that core is only getting older.

 

[Dialamo]

NJ going younger and building around Hischier and Hughes has to be thrilled right now.

We are still a long ways away but things are definitely not looking as desolate as before.

 

[devils29]

Holy hell i was bummed until i saw the return

 

[sens13]

lol and oiler fans thought tatar for a 2nd+ was a fair deal.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Holy moly is Tampa high?

 

[NeoCanuck]

Two 1sts basically and it's Vancouver's 1st so if Vancouver misses the playoffs, it's a lottery pick.

I know that Coleman is good and signed cheap for another year but thanks for ****ing up the buyers market Tampa. That's a crazy price to pay for a guy who was essentially a 3rd liner until this season.

Vancouver can defer the pick to 2021 if it's a lottery pick this year.

 

[polarbearcub]

Coleman is basically a 29 year old Jake Virtanen in production

 

[SI90]

Didn’t realize Coleman had another year. Makes more sense now in the return. TB is and has been a win now team with serious cup aspirations. Coleman is a good add for them.
