Mitico12 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think we're done for the day. No one wants Ryder or Havlat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 We got overpaid for Jagr, so I consider the total of both trades to be pretty fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 So we have 3 3rd rounders next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Lou should have dealt him earlier. 3rd back is unacceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If Detroit was the only place he was willing to waive to go, this is the best you can do. Conditional 2nd isn't bad, but it's worse than I thought NJ would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Those who wanted him gone, well he's gone. At least it keeps our defensive cornerstone of Fraser/Harrold in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It may not have been that easy. So to say Lou shoulda done this or that or we got fleeced is silly. Zidlicky had an NTC, he ultimately could decide where he went. I agree it shoulda been more, but its impossible to place blame here. We got something for an impending UFA.

JakeDev Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Some of you guys are ridiculous.... we moved an older guy to obtain a younger asset eventually. You can't come out with a complete steal in every trade. It's better than nothing so just accept it and stop crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conditional 2nd isn't bad, but it's worse than I thought NJ would get. The 'condition' could have at least been a little less. Detroit has very little chance of making the Finals.

SterioDesign Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Zids was done basically, he was not gonna have any impact on our future which is the only thing we should be looking at honestly. And who knows what that 3rd pick could be. For every Jessiman, Kostitsyn, filatov, daigle etc etc there's a Zetterberg, Gallagher, Rinne or wtv. Henrique is one of our best forward and he was a 3rd pick so. Still better than nothing really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If Detroit was the only place he was willing to waive to go, this is the best you can do. Conditional 2nd isn't bad, but it's worse than I thought NJ would get. I'm not putting this on Zidlicky. It was reported Lou was only going to Zidlicky once he had a trade in place. I doubt Zidlicky said no to 3-4 other playoff teams that were interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 That's unfathomable that Philly got a 1st and a 3rd and a prspect for a better but not astronomically better defenseman. I'm livid. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLYWOOD Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 LL was pigeon holed because of Zid's NTC. I'll take a 3rd, especially since Severson is back. Yep, the NTC cost the Devs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Another team outside the playoffs possibly offered more, but Zids held the cards. He was in drivers seat. I'm sure Lou took the best offer. i was hoping for better, but chest l' vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Zidlicky said no to 3-4 other playoff teams that were interested. It's entirely possible he did, though. In 2012 it was reported that he wanted to come only to NJ and so he did.

I doubt Zidlicky said no to 3-4 other playoff teams that were interested. Even if he did, I wouldn't blame him. It's his job to put himself first, not the team he is being traded from. The issue is him having the NTC. But of course, we might not have been able to re-sign him without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full deal is 3rd in 2016, 5th in 2015 if the Wings make the EC finals, if they make the Cup finals, Devils get a 2nd and give back the 5th.
