ANA probably would like more immediate help, like Boucher instead of Queneville. You could probably keep Blandisi or hold out for another cheap UFA. Overall, great idea though; Devils should be looking hard for D additions after losing Larsson.

Nice job!

Why the 5th and 3rd?
5th is probably a waste and third is fine only if not given both Blan and JQ

Fowler for JQ/Blan/2nd

Ana fans would not agree though with your orig idea, trust me
'17 1st/Blan/JQ is what they will want

I see your point and I agree

I like the idea of subbing in Boucher for JQ. I thought of going out to sign Kris Russell (which appears to be the most stable defenseman in FA right now) but from what I know Shero is not in the hunt for him, so I'm just trying to keep the team as realistic as possible.

@DanteDevilsHockey, as a devils fan, what do you think of the deal Hall-Larsson?

@E_Meens71 Unreal trade for the devils they won that trade by alot

They should have had to given up a first or at least one of our young LWs and a 2nd/3rd

@E_Meens71 Sorry for the late response, but to answer your question the Hall-Larsson trade is bittersweet. We lost a great talent on the backend, our best defenseman arguably. He had so much potential to become our outspoken no.1, top pairing guy in years to come. This trade left a gaping hole on our blue line. However, lets look at the other side of this trade. We got one of the best LW's in the entire NHL, and the Devils, despite having 2 thirty goal scorers, lacked an offensive driver. This is exactly what Taylor Hall is. Lets take a look at this. Hall put up 80 points in the 2013-14 season in only 75 games on an atrocious EDM team. The Oilers that year finished the 82-game season with 67 points. It was unbelievable how good Hall was for a bad team at the time. This guy has unteachable talent. I think he can easily put up 30 goals AT LEAST if he stays healthy in the 2016-2017 season. In NJ he will be playing around successful talent such as his good buddy Rico and Palms. Both thirty goal scorers, and he will also play with guys like Cammy and Zajac who both have great talent. In EDM it was different for Hall. He was playing around failing talented players if that makes sense. He spent many years on the same team as Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Nail Yakupov. These players, if on successful teams, can put up big numbers and if I had to guess guys with the talent like Eberle can be a regular 60 point scorer each season. Hall's potential was bottled up in EDM, as he was able to show spurts of super-star material play, especially in the '13-'14 season, but now playing for a upward trending team such as NJ he can be a 70-80 point guy on the regular once he finds his groove. To sum up the trade it was an obvious steal for NJ, as it was very bitterseet for our blue line it was about 10% bitter and 90% SWEET.
