Trading out your star free agent signing they year after he signed, with retention for 6 seasons, for a couple guys getting pushed off the devils roster anyway and a couple picks, doesn't strike me as an intelligent move to build the team. I also don't believe NJ has the cap space with all the RFA signings they have to make this off season.
It would probably guarantee you can't sign any UFA of value until Kekkolainen is gone.
