justdo3043 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Real_ESPNLeBrun: I think Lamoriello did a heck of a job getting a 2nd plus Steckel for UFA-to-be Arnott LeBrun is so up lou's...@$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-SS Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If the second round thing is true then I say its more than a good job by Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormJosh Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I really like Arnott and I was against trading him because I assumed the return would be a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick from a playoff team, meaning an unfavorable pick. What did Arnott bring at $4.5 million that Steckel won't bring us for $1.1 million. They both have size and faceoff prowess, and Steckel can play the PK. Edit: now that we have the 2nd round pick the situation has improved further. Edited February 28, 2011 by StormJosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe B Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wait... I thought the Caps didn't have a 2nd rounder? 2nd 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 TGfireandice Ok. It's Arnott for Steckel and Caps' 2012 second-rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghdi Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Excellent return. Can't really ask for much more out of this deal. Great cap hit. Dude fills a role. And we get that pick next year. Fine by me. I give it an A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Good good, the Devils didn't sacrifice greater future return just to get a player who can play now. That's satisfying then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 That would be a great "f u" to Arnott. However, I'll always love Arnott for what he did on June 10th, 2000. Why do we want to tell Arnott "F U" ? I have nothing against him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekes Head Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Good good, the Devils didn't sacrifice greater future return just to get a player who can play now. That's satisfying then. best of both worlds. you got a guy that can automatically step in and at his worst, fill arnott's void and you get a 2nd rounder next year. even if it's a low pick, it's still something. i really like this. there's no rolling the dice here -- lou made a solid deadline move for the first time in a few years. whew.

justdo3043 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 now if washington continues its decline like this season but evern worse this deal could get better and better...somebody tell them to hire jmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wow, I went from liking the deal to LOVING it lol. Great job to nab a 2nd Lou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I liked this deal a lot before I found out the Devils get a 2012 2nd rounder. I have no idea what that draft class is like but a lot of people don't seem to love the 2011 so the 2012 could be better. Good job Lou!

Satans Hockey Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I like it and tsn confirms the 2nd round pick but its saying 2011 http://www.tsn.ca/tradecentre/story/?id=355869 The New Jersey Devils have cleared some salary as they have sent forward Jason Arnott to the Washington Capitals in exchange for forward David Steckel and a second-round draft pick in 2011.

DaneykoIsGod Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Considering how much we've paid in the past for 3rd- and 4th-line centers (Holik and Arnott come to mind), $1.1M for the next two years for a big guy who can win draws sounds nice. An additional 2nd-rounder next year, escpecially if that's the year we give up our 1st because of Kovygate, then that's nice too. All in all, it's looking like a job well done for Lou.

pattyelias Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 soooooooooo, Steckel????? I would have rather gotten a couple picks and given Josefson the 3rd line center spot. Steckel kills penalties and wins faceoffs, ie perfect for a 3rd line center. The Devils project Josefson as a second line center type of player. Different players for different roles.
