NJD MTL

Devils accept. always liked Zadorov

I'd give only a 4th for Cole

Cole's Numbers are all Positive
He tied a Career high when the season ended

MTL can afford to take him at that price and cap.
He's the Anchor Petry needs to allow him more time to jump in on the OZ Push

Romanov will have Weber to mentor him on 2nd line behind Cole-Petry
Chiarot will mentor Fleury who plays a very similar hard hitting style an he can hopefully have a positive impact.

MTL has Size , Speed and Skill With Mete up for Trade allowing MTL to avoid losing him in the Expansion draft for nothing as he's not worth protecting IMO with Romanov here , Norlinder not far out as well as Harris and Struble having solid NCAA years by 2021-22 they'll likely all be Pro playing either NHL or AHL level. Just as Petry and Cole would be going UFA We'd have multiple D on both sides at the Pro level under 23 who can fight for their spots.

The Number of Quality Prospects in All Draft Rounds we've drafted since hiring Eric Crawford from out under VAN who underestimated his value letting him walk
Well its simply Flawless.

Crawfords only Percieved miss as Head of Scouting and the man Timmons put in charge of Day to Day after his Promotion the Assistant GM
Was Arguably Kotkanemi .

That said KK is still the best Center in the 1st round of his draft year By a Country and despite being the youngest to turn Pro he's still found success being rushed.
I'd still take KK>Tkachuk for the same reason i stuck by Price>Setegouchi for years as DS was scoring 20 and 30 goal seasons while price was up and down from AHL to NHL.

This is about what a Zads trade will be. Nice job

Don't think Zadorov gets moved for a 2021 pick, unless the draft happens before the playoffs. I know you don't have your 2020 2nd, but if it was the NJ 2020 2nd instead of NYI 2021 2nd then I'd be inclined to accept that if there was a 4th or 5th instead of Groleau.
