Just a fun little excersise during the dog days of summer. Make a list of the players you think would fetch us the most in a trade. Divide into two categories- "Players" and "Prospects"

Players-

Henrique
Elias
Clarkson
Josefson
Greene
Zubrus
Fayne
Tallinder
Brodeur
Tedenby
Salvador
Hedberg
Zidlicky
Bernier
Carter
Gionta
Barch
Janssen

Prospects-
Merrill
Gelinas
Urbom
Matteau
Severson
Scarlett
Boucher
Burlon
Wohlberg
Wedgewood

At this point there are several guys that I am sure of the list of people we won't move:

Kovalchuk
Larsson

I think we try our best to sign Zajac long term...hopefully sooner than later....

[hargsy]

is Matteau really that high of a prospect?

[Brandon]

is Matteau really that high of a prospect?

Most people had him pegged at being picked somewhere between 16-20 in the Draft, so imo he was a pretty big steal at 29th.

EDIT: For me, I would say his NHL comparison is either a Dustin Brown or a Milan Lucic with less size.

I hope your right or at least in the ball park...errr hockey rink!
hey that was your 666th post ....watch out now!

I would think wedgewood is on the no trade list because of his solid development and the need of goaltending.

So is Larsson but I don't think the point of the post was to guage the likelihood that someone gets traded, just who would fetch the highest return.

I'm surprised people have Kovy so high, there were only 2 teams interested in him at the terms he was looking for when he signed as a FA, has the demand really risen?

I'll just do the players since I don't know enough about the prospects to really judge:

Players:
Travis Zajac
Adam Larsson
Adam Henrique
Patrik Elias
Ilya Kovalchuk
Jacob Josefson
Marek Zidlicky
Henrik Tallinder
David Clarkson
Anton Volchenkov
Dainius Zubrus
Mattias Tedenby
Bryce Salvador
Andy Greene
+ Spare parts that might fetch a low pick

Okay, I will try my hand at this, but I'm not ranking prospects (in part because the Devils don't have any)

Players-

Larsson
Henrique
Zajac
Fayne
Josefson
Elias
Zidlicky
Clarkson
Greene
Zubrus
Tallinder
Hedberg
Bernier
Carter
Gionta
Barch
Janssen
Kovalchuk
Brodeur
Salvador

Kovalchuk third to last Tri? I know he has a huge contract, but you don't thInk he could land us a 1st, good prospect and roster player at the trade deadline?

A team with cash on hand and could benefit from a lower cap hit would love a Kovalchuk. Like say a Philly or New York. I doubt he is third to last.

He's signed for 13 more years and had back trouble in this year's playoffs.
