MadDog2020 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I just want to see NJ just pile up a bunch of stuff and send it to another team for a big name player. The Devils trade deadline has been pretty boring for about 6 years now. Yeah the last really big move we made was for Kovalchuk, and that was about a month before the deadline.

CarpathianForest Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I mean I know people on here say "no trades for trades" sake, but this team is about to get pretty awful and boring. Bring back something with flash and potential so we can enjoy this losing season and look forward to next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the picks the Devils might get back can be packaged with something else that fits that bill, but I don't think they're getting anything sexy at this deadline.

I'm not even talking anything sexy, but at least something with potential. I mean, but maybe people will be happy with a Steve Sullivan type player. I don't know. I for one have had y fill of Devils trade deadline deals like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shero's moves this offseason were Palmieri, Stempniak, Schlemko, and Tlusty. He hit 3 out of 4, and those 3 were a resounding success. Who's to say he doesn't continue to have a good eye each offseason on the undervalued free agent or cheap trade? Who's to say our analytics department isn't doing their job on this (and maybe did their job on those very signings)? If they could hit 3 out of 4 to be very good signings, I trust them to do it again, or at least I trust their eye in plugging whatever holes come up on a season-by-season basis til we solidify our young core. Don't forget about Kalinin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Let's see if Shero continues the tradition of Lou from the last few seasons and brings back a Ruutu or Skoula on deadline day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Travis Yost thinks that FLA is in on Stempniak. Wouldnt mind taking a shot with Rocco Grimaldi. 5'6 but shoots right and has a ton of skill. Decent numbers in the A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other teams are giving up a 1st fine, let him go. Shero has a reputation of doing stuff at trade deadline, but I'm not looking for anything. Maybe one prospect for another. A "D" man for a FW.

sundstrom Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 There was a TG tweet indicating the Devils were scouting Edmonton. Not sure what would work there but maybe Yakupov could come back and not cost much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to pretend that I know all that much about him beyond his goal/point totals, but he definitely strikes me as one of those guys that if he isn't scoring goals for you he's pretty useless. I would be very disappointed in a Severson for Eberle swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't give up anything of immediate value for Yakupov. He's perilously close to being a total bust and is a huge gamble. I think we definitely deal Stempniak and it's probably a toss up between whether Schlemko or Gelinas gets moved. As for a third move I think it would have to be a really good deal and getting a forward we could build with for five years forward. Most likely any exciting moves with our forward situation will be in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that Eberle is playing on a team with quite a few talented fowards. Like Palmieri on the Ducks, Eberle's talent is diluted by the other players' abilities. I don't know what you're looking at, but this season he has 20 goals and 17 assists and he has only scored less than 20 goals two times, one of those times being the lockout shortened season. Eberle would be a boon for us. Better than Drouin who is an unproven commodity. Edited February 28, 2016 by CarpathianForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberle would be a boon for us. Better than Drouin who is an unproven commodity. He's a twenty to thirty goal scorer right winger, and who knows whether he has any ability to play on the defensive side. How terrible the Oilers have been since he's been there would suggest the answer is probably not. Not that I'm suggesting that we need another defensive forward, but if you can't play defense you should be putting up a lot more goals if I'm not going to be depressed that this guy is the team's best forward, if that's what it comes down to. Otherwise the fact that the Oilers have a lot of scoring forwards can work both ways, so far as whether his offensive numbers are more or less impressive than they seem. Does he draw tougher assignments than players like Hall, McDavid, Hopkins, Draisatl? Unless he gets really crap ice time, I don't find the point totals all that impressive. (Isn't he also a UFA in the not too distant future). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also hasn't sat around not playing hockey for months. If Drouin's value is so exceptional, why hasn't a trade been made? Im not saying Stempniak and Merrill would get it done. I AM saying that Severson and a 1st round pick is a laughable overpayment. It's Yzerman. He'll wait and play each offer until he gets the one that's best.
