GDT: Trade Deadline Naptime Part II

[Kensu]

Alright's its over two hours passed the deadline. We still don't have an "all done" from Shero... and there were tweets about a really long line putting trades through. Does anyone believe we still have something going down?

there's only a couple teams left that haven't said their done. I have no idea what's happening.

who knows, but he is making moves so it might look good

I'm guessing Tyler Kennedy for a 6th round pick. Or we get Yak

We lost Tropp

Shouldn't matter too much, the waiver moves they made today suggests they'll send Severson, Blandisi and Boucher down to Albany for their playoffs most likely. If that's what they decide to do Albany is still pretty stacked:

LW: Lorito, Boucher, Pietila, Thomson, Pelley, Johnson
C: Blandisi, O'Brien, Coleman, Kujawinski, Black
RW: Sislo, O'Neill, Thompson, Novak, McKelvie

LD: Kelly, Burlon, Helgeson, Gragnani
RD: Severson, Mozik, Scarlett, McPherson, Hrabarenka, Faust

G: Wedgewood, Danis, Appleby

They'd be a really difficult out for any team.

I'm actually surprised at Severson, it almost seems like an insult to send him back down at this point since he'll have played close to two full NHL seasons by the end of the year. Then again I'd rather see him and the two B's get big playoff time in the AHL than the old guys/marginal prospects.

New Jersey Devils ‏@NJDevils 3m3 minutes ago
#NJDevils GM Ray Shero to media in regards to trading Lee Stempniak to Boston: "It was a hard thing to do."

So if he's talking to the media, I'm guessing there's no more deals to be announced.

 

[NJDevils17]

The Benning press conference is an embarrassment. He's straight lying. Man I can't believe this dude has a job.

 

[Devils Trap]

Couldnt have told us ..

For those asking, yes, there were no other Devils' trades today.

Severson has had an up and down Sophomore season, i think exposure to playoff hockey (even at the AHL level) can only be a good thing for his development, he'd probably dominate against the lesser competition. He seems like a fairly driven/professional player, he's been scratched a few times and hasn't complained. I'm sure he'd understand that it was mutually beneficial for him to participate in the AHL playoffs with Albany.

TG says we're done.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

I'm very impressed with shero. Small moves today but he's constantly improving the team with every move he makes. We're going in the right direction.

 

[Devils Dominion]

A good day for the NJD organization and The Process.

Sad to see Stemp go now, he's been more than anyone could have asked for.
Would be nice to sign him to a 2-yr deal this summer.

Hope we strike gold with a few of those picks, like Philly did with Gost or what Detroit always seems to do.

We may have found a solid 4th line RW too in DSP.

Some kind of pro playoff experience is better then none. Be good for him.

It's def good to have Sevs go to Albany for the playoffs.

We did the same thing with Lars a few seasons ago.

It will boost his confidence and expedite his development.

Can't wait to watch this team on the ice with Ruutu, Kalinin, Gionta, Smith Pelley, Kennedy, and Tootoo "attempting" to score goals.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Decent to good deadline day relative to expectations. Now we'll probably see the Devils limp to the finish line without Cammy and Stempniak, but we'll be able to see how DSP fits at least, and hopefully the draft goes well and maybe Shero can make a shrewd trade a la Palmieri.

Whilst i'm not one to root against my own team, at this point i'm not going to be vastly concerned if we continue to slip down the standings with Cammalleri out and Stempniak gone.

The rest of the season is pretty much irrelevant at this point, hopefully the youngsters will continue to perform well though.

We're going to win the lottery.

If we're sending roster players to Albany, who the heck is going to replace them or are we in major tank mode?

Once the season is over, the AHL and NHL playoffs run concurrently and the big devils will almost assuredly be off golfing somewhere

My bad. Miss understood. Thought they were going down now.

Thanks for clearing that up. For a second there thought Shero was pulling a Buffalo.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We aren't. They are playing tomorrow. It was a paper move to make them eligible for the AHL playoffs.

So no matter what the three get some pro playoff experience since Albany is definitely making the playoffs.

 

[Devil X]

Just a paper transaction. They will all play out the rest of the regular season for the Big Devils.

Haha, that would be amazing.

I need the tears of NHL fans.
