This passes the Raymond Babbitt test.  Well played sir, well played!

What bothers me is you can easily make a case for Quincey to be as good as Hainsey, we all pretty much agreed on that the other day. Pitt gave up a 3rd and a AHLer, we pick up a bottom pair/AHLer who still has another year left. The case is desperately being made to be expansion fodder, but come on, we have plenty to expose.

Whatever, it's really a nothing trade. We have a ton of picks in the next two drafts, so I'm just not gonna waste my energy getting pissed off about trading Quincey for a marginal NHL'er instead of for a 4th round pick.

Picks turn into assets though, scrub AHLers take up cap space and roster spots for potential assets. It just doesn't make sense to me, especially since we're supposed to be in a rebuild.

Tri said it best, if it turns into something towards the draft it'll be a better deal, but knee-jerk and on paper, we lost this one, just my .02

Not disagreeing with you, just saying it's not a deal to lose our minds over, that's all. I would've much rather gotten a pick, but it didn't happen. We'll see what happens come June/July.

Pretty much where I am now.  At the very least, maybe this move keeps Shero from going back to the Penguin Dollar Store to bargain shop for a defenseman in the offseason.  Prout is still kind of young (27) and might be a passable stopgap, if he's still here next season.  Not like he's going to be asked to do a ton.

He could also might be enough to get Wood to stop fighting everyone...

No, Hainsey is pretty clearly better, he's played more minutes over the last few seasons.  I don't think Prout is expansion draft fodder, but i do think there's an opportunity to deal some of the back-pairing D the Devils have to teams that lost defensemen in the expansion draft.

Yep, had a feeling that PA was going to be a "what the hell, why not", almost zero-risk move for someone.  Oh well.

Nevermind, it probably was because he is stinky.

We lost Pap Smear and gained a fart.  What a day.

Still, trading Quincey for expansion draft fodder is not good value for Quincey.
