NJDevils1214 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Getting any fairly young halfway gifted forward to play with Hall and Zacha would be awesome. I wouldn't want to lose Zajac to do that, he showed last night just how valuable he is on those PKs, but Rico on the other hand.... for a package for someone like Alex Galchenyuk or some similar player(Eberle/Duchene) I wouldn't be upset about. I'm not sure what else you would have to add, Rico+Parenteau/Cammy/pick? or no players and throw in the pick and Rico...I'm bad at these things, don't hate.

It's all about fair market value and supply and demand. With that said, I don't see how everyone is assuming Duchene is somehow a lot better than Henrique. They're one year a part, with Henrique barely being older. He has for his career about 150 less points than Duchene, but Duchene also started younger and has played in about 130 more games, so it's actually pretty even. And if you're going to talk current production, Duchene has only 36 points on the season and Henrique has 32. I wouldn't be upset if we got Duchene, but honestly any talk about giving up someone else for him, even a guy like Cammy, isn't exactly fair. (Yes I know we wanna dump his contract, that's not the point). It's almost a one for one. I just don't get everyone wanting to give up on Henrique. Guy is a pretty consistent scorer with a modest contract. Does anyone here think he won't reach 20 goals this season? Ok so it's not 30 like he had last year, but so what? It's not a terrible year. Be happy he's producing the way he is, and focus on the guys who aren't. That's where the attention should be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joonas #6 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I still want Yakupov. Feels like he's a healthy scratch every game. I don't know if there's some personal issues why he's always scratched or if his defensive game is really that bad. But I feel like he'd have a pretty good chance to stay in the lineup here.

He couldn't cut it in Edmonton, and now the Blues are giving up on him. I dunno there's gotta be something going on off the ice that makes him unplayable. Work ethic, coachability, general attitude.. unless you can get him for a late round pick or something I just don't think it's worth it. 53 minutes ago, NJDfan1711 said: I just don't get everyone wanting to give up on Henrique.

EZ76 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Firstly a decent and stable right winger to play with Hallsy. Palmieri is good but instable. He's in good mood - he's shining. He's far from good - he's terrible. Hallsy need his right-wing reflection - stable, talent, creative dude I'm not sure, but maybe Oilers still have a goalie problem? If so we can trade Kinkaid (and add someone) for Eberle. Too good to be truth, but we may try Radim Vrbata is good. Maybe little bit old, but well experienced, and not too expensive. Zacha's compatriot. Patrick Eaves - points, not expensive, and Calgarian guy too Secondly defence. It's hard to find a decent defenseman. That's dilemma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiquated Colorado Rockie Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Flames acquire Michael Stone for a 3rd in 2017 and conditional 5th in 2018. Pretty cheap, Stone is a decent right shot dman. http://www.espn.com/espn/wire/_/section/nhl/id/18727621 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoffeecake Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I was gonna mention the Stone move, real solid for Calgary. I immediately thought that would've been a fantastic move for the Devils. Why does anyone think Arizona moved him? They have no depth at D and it obviously wasn't a cap issue. He's only 26, he could've been a useful piece for a long time with OEL and Chychrun. Anyone have any thoughts about Minnesota moving a defenseman that they won't be able to protect in the expansion draft? They'll only be able to protect 1 of Dumba, Scandella, and Spurgeon.

Don't forget the Yotes have Anthony DeAngelo. They sent him down. He's been in the AHL lately. Maybe they plan to recall him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchene has 133 ES goals to Henrique's 74. Adam is a better shorthanded player with 13 SHG for his career compared with only 1 from Duchene. I don't think playing for Colorado helps Duchene. That is an awfully run franchise. They're also asking ridiculous prices for both Duchene and Landeskog. They wanted a ton from Ottawa including future stud Thomas Chabot. They rejected it on principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're willing to part with a Quenneville and a first plus something else, forget it. They are asking for a lot. If I were the Devils, I would consider using either Henrique or Zajac for a defenseman. Henrique is the easier sell. Younger and a better contract with more value. The Devils desperately need a defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils desperately need a defenseman. We have Santini who looks like he may pan out as a 2nd or 3rd line full time NHLer. If we were to get a decent draft pick this year that we could use on a defenseman, then we're not looking too bad. We're just in a terrible situation right now, because if we trade Henrique for a d-man, then all of a sudden we're back to kinda where we were before we got Hall, starved for offense again. I'm not saying Henrique = Hall, but he's one of the few guys who actually does score for us right now. We need to try to land some guys in free agency and see if a draft pick or two pan out. Does anyone think McLeod will be NHL ready next year? Maybe the year after? Would be nice if he blossomed early and we could get rid of a DSP/Bennett type player and solidify the bottom two lines a little more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think that for some reason St Louis still thinks they owe us compensation for the Stevens deal. Some of the trades they made during he Lou era were daylight robbery. Bryce Salvador for Cam Janssen.

Just seems like such a dressing room cancer. Has lots of physical talent but not worth the risk. The Devils should be using what available trade capital they have on a defenseman as the top priority imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonDreads Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ron Hainsey isn't worth anything close to a 2nd, I'd argue he's just as good as Quincey. Gives me hope for what the Devils can get for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The Hockey Writers speculates that we could make an offer for Shattenkirk with Severson, Quenneville, and a 2nd going the other way. http://thehockeywriters.com/ ANALYSIS: The Devils probably won’t make the playoffs even with the addition of Shattenkirk, so a contract extension is essential as part of this deal — more so than the other four, though a sign-and-trade is in St. Louis’ best interests to ensure the best possible return regardless of where Shattenkirk is going. New Jersey GM Ray Shero isn’t one to sit on his hands and he’d love to get his hands on a puck-mover like Shattenkirk to help spark the Devils’ offence. Adding Taylor Hall and Shattenkirk within a calendar year would be a step in the right direction for New Jersey, even if those moves don’t pay immediate dividends in the form of a playoff berth this spring.

That article also calls for us to give up the 3rd round pick we received from Colorado for Gelinas in this years draft. That said, I would not do this deal. Not that I wouldn't like to have Shattenkirk, but the Devils are not in a position to trade away the few assets we have for a player in his prime right now. It just doesn't make sense to me given the state of the prospect pool we have and where we are at in our rebuild. Ray needs to stay the course and build this tea through the draft and strategic trades. There should be plenty of opportunity for him to make things happen on the trade front this June with the expansion draft and the salary cap looking like it will remain stagnant. I don't see us being good trading partners with STL for Shattenkirk, other than being 1 of the 3 teams that play in his hometown area who he'd allegedly like to sign with for his long term deal.
