Devils - Jets Trade Idea

That's the kind of all-out trade you make if you're trying to win a Stanley Cup, not if you're trying to make the playoffs.  Wheeler would not suddenly turn this team into a Cup contender.  And it's 50-50 you're giving up a lottery pick.  If LA makes that trade there's basically zero chance they're giving up a lottery pick.

Exactly. With guys like McDavid and Eichel at the top of this draft, you'll be hard pressed to find any playoff bubble team (which the Devils are) willing to part with their 1st round pick this season. Can you imagine if we made the trade proposed, don't make the playoffs and then "win the lottery" only to watch Winnipeg select McDavid. You might as well burn the Rock down now with how this fan base (at least the dedicated hockey fans) would react.

Mike, like i sad earlier the Jets as they are currently put together are not going anywhere. Are you telling me they are going to turn down a potential first pairing dman, a 1st round pick, and young power forward for wheeler and an expiring contract. I would be shocked if they said no to that package.

But why would we say yes to it?

Especially if Larsson ever did become a star and Matteau developed into a good bottom six player :lol:
