DevsMan84 2,366 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Niedermayer was a #3 pick, but that's all I can think of when it comes to top 3 pics the Devils have had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph 1,409 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 For some reason it won't let me quote you, 7, but 40 goals is absolutely within reach for Hall, though I agree that he won't hit that every year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They got Larsson because he's 23, on a favorable contract until 2022 (he'll be 29). And the "invisible" piece of the trade is that they have the cap room to sign someone else at forward; or maybe Jason Demers. We still fleeced them, no doubt. But the trade does make more sense than a lot of people are saying it does. Edited June 30, 2016 by DJ Eco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Onddeck 71 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 wow. i don't even know where to begin. I wasn't able to comment yesterday but just got done reading through all these comments- Derek21 great write up! and this is a no-brainer to me, i love this trade. Lars was a solid player and i loved rooting for a guy we drafted. He is a solid Dman but hasn't seemed to live up to the potential, especially on the offensive end. Even defensively, though, i know i've seen him flat footed at times. Now we have a superstar for the next 4 years at an extremely affordable price, unreal. And we all know Shero isn't done. LGD!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MadDog2020 8,546 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 From HF: Friedman on radio this morning regarding the deal: “And they just decided they needed that guy. And New Jersey held on. Held on. Finally, they threw Hall on the table. And even at the end, New Jersey played tough because Edmonton is gaining almost $2 million in cap space, and the Devils said, ‘We’re taking the extra cap space. We’re not adding anything else to this." Outstanding job by Shero. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Puddy 16 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 11 hours ago, Neb00rs said: Now the Devils have five forwards they absolutely need to protect with room for two more, and don't have to worry about losing a valuable d-man (Merrill, if he is resigned, is the best d-man we could lose). I know the roster will change a bit but this thinking most likely would retain its validity no matter what. Do we have to burn a spot on Clowe because of his NMC? "All players who have currently effective and continuing "No Movement" clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who to decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits)." Hopefully Clowe will waive his clause, or the league will deem him ineligible per the career-ending injury section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarpathianForest 454 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I read on I think NHL News or some sh!t, that Hall was originally going to be traded to STL for SHattenkirk, but Shattenkirk wouldn't sign an extension with EDM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
