Value of: Trouba to NJ

[DJBiffWPG]

No need to attach negative value in Kulikov to a tremendously valuable asset in Trouba.

That's not really accurate. Blackwood had a great D+1, but certainly struggled in the AHL. I'd also say his 23 games this year is much more impressive than what Hutchinson did as he literally played on a NJ team that was not only bad but injury-riddled. It is a small sample size, but from NJ's perspective he just cannot be traded as he fills a major organizational need and showed a ton of promise.

I said he was bad after leaving Jr. That is D+2, not D+1. His Jr numbers were very good.

His 23 games this year were good, but not as good as Hutchinson's start was in '15. Hutch had a very strong AHL career behind him at that time too.

Good for NJD that he played so well just when Schneider appears to be fading. I wouldn't trade him if I was in your shoes either. It would be a mistake for Wpg to spend assets to get him now though. We have our starter, a good backup and a promising prospect in the AHL.

Goalie prospects don't have a lot of trade value and we don't need a goalie anyways.

Agreed, I couldn’t careless about any goalie prospect........literally the last thing I would look for in return for Trouba.

 

[Flair Hay]

Nope

This might be a reality for us. Odd thing to dismiss it as impossible.

There isn't a fit between these two teams, tbh.

Devils can't move the 1st next year unless Hall is extended. Even if top 3 protected.

I agree... for the purposes of this post i'm assuming the Devils know he's in before making it.
