EdgeControl Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Just now, Aitchmack said: I can't help but feel this is a good trade all round. Rico has looked like he could do with a change of scenery and Blandisi just hasn't shown enough to stay with the big club. We get an upgrade on defence, that we all knew was needed, at a reasonable age on a reasonable contract. Thanks for everything Rico. You'll be missed. Welcome Sami. We look forward to seeing what you add to this new Devils team. id love it if nico draws a few PPs to see what sami can do.. see ya rico, its now nico!!

LittleBallofHate Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 A little more backstory from NHL.com - this has been simmering for a long while: Murray and New Jersey Devils general manager Ray Shero had trade discussions at the 2017 NHL Draft in June. Since then, Murray explored other options and then circled back with Shero. "When [the Devils] won the [NHL Draft] lottery and got [center Nico] Hischier, that kind of made things more flexible for him to do some things," Murray said. "It was close, but then we knew we'd have [defensemen] out with injuries. So it was very difficult for us to even think about doing something until we got our defense healthy. "We knew right away that Sami and Hampus [Lindholm] weren't going to be back until sometime around about Nov. 1. That kind of pushed us back." https://www.nhl.com/news/lisa-dillman-adam-henrique-makes-anaheim-ducks-deeper-at-center/c-293530212 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Reaction quotes from Sami here: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/sami-vatanen-reacts-traded-ducks-devils/ “I’ve never been part of this kind of thing, so it was something different,” Vatanen said. “It all starts to settle down right now and it’s part of the business and I’m very excited about the new challenge. I’m very excited about it. I spoke with [Devils GM Ray Shero] and they wanted me there so it’s a good thing. I have to go in slowly and try to do my best to help the team to win.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santini hasn't yet figured out how to defend without wrapping his arms around a guy. Lovejoy has not been a liability much at all this year. He's actually played quite adequately, and even well at times. But I will agree as to Prout, he shouldn't be playing over anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I don't think santini 1v1 d has been that bad.. you can see he has skills.. its away from the puck where he falls asleep .. his pairing does get stuck in the zone though. But again 76% dz starts at 43% FO is not conducive to strong play.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll fall for Anaheim, they have better better weather and beaches. He's also probably going to play with a mix of Perry, Getzlaf, and Kesler, so he's gonna put up points, especially once that team gets healthier.

That's funny honestly. That's not his game and never will be. Ovechkin plays a heavy game and has 5 inches and over 45 pounds on him according to hockeydb.
