Devils decline. We don't really need Eichel, especially at that price.

Thinking NJ would rather keep Hughes than have Eichel. Especially at that price.

Penguins say no

Incoming angry devils and pens fans

No way Ristolainen gets anything near that price. Pit says No. Maybe for Matheson straight up.

look if you are willing to move Ristolainen I'm willing to talk. But not for that.

Expansion?

I would love to see Eichel in NJ but the Devils can't trade Smith, they've needed a top tier defenceman for so long and he's looking like he can be that. I've been critical of Hughes but I'd rather have him + Smith + a top 5 pick this year over Eichel who would probably request a trade within 2 years anyways.

my only big issue with it is New Jersey is also a terrible team so Eichel would probably want out, if the Devils were in better shape I would package Hughes for Eichel immediately. Not this particular deal though, don't think NJ can afford to give up Smith.

Risto doesn’t get you that at all. We’d do Risto for Matheson straight up. That’s about it
