CommonDreads Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Smart little move by Shero, basically a free 2nd round pick in a couple years, which can be packaged in a trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hystyk28 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Craziest thought ever: Wait for it... Savard comes back to play with Kovalchuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I was hoping Black might develop at the pro level after his 90+ points season, but after two years in Albany I haven't seen much to suggest he will. Losing Thompson is a blow for Albany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Love this trade for two main reasons: 1) Who doesn't love free draft picks 2) Shows the owners are willing to spend money to make the team better. I'm under the impression of course that Savard is still owed his $$ even though he's LTIR'd. Though, I suppose it might be covered by insurance... Regardless, solid move by Shero. Love it.

Love it. he is only being paid $575k - doesn't matter if it's insurance or not. The Devils bought a draft pick for $575k. it affects absolutely nothing else including whoever the devils want to sign other than it affects their summer cap. Should the devils desire to spend to the cap on actual players, then this goes to LTIR. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure why FL was in such a hurry to dump the contract.

Seems like they're gearing up for something big. Steal Stamkos from Tampa? That would set up one hell of a hockey rivalry in the state of Florida for the next few seasons.

Not if you have lots of players on bonus laden contracts like Jagr and Ekblad -however much cash you put on LTIR will basically come back in cap overages the next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmann422 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Nice deal, another smart move by Shero. I only wish the pick was a bit sooner but it can maybe be used in a package for a more immediate upgrade. 6 hours ago, Devilsfan118 said: 2) Shows the owners are willing to spend money to make the team better.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Nothing not to like about this. Didn't realize how long it's been for Savard already. His last game was 1/22/2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
