Can you please explain how the Devils trading the top two point scorers this year for "that" makes a lick of sense?

I AIN'T got slick to explain.

Devils patiently lean into the silence...eager to hear what comes next...

Rebuilding team sends 34th OA pick to acquire two bottom six forwards.

That doesn't sound overly bright...

Horrible trade for NJ

Anyone who does not like my suggestions. Just keep your opinions to yourselves and leave.

That is the price to pay for the Leafs to take Kessler's contract. Anaheim still needs that extra cash flow in the organization in REAL dollars to make moves n improvements this off season to their squad.

Besides, Engvall n Mik have top 9 35-45 point potential in a full 82 game schedule given better team mates aka... Rakell, Steel and/or even Zegras.

...Kesler's contract is insured...So no, the cost of adding two mediocre bottom 6 players isn't the 34th OA pick.

Also, big laughs at the "Better teammates" comment. You've got the Ducks doing a major favor for you, clearing a couple of contracts that you don't want/need, and you want them to pay big to do it? C'monnnn.

Bad trades for the leafs. Doesn’t make much sense for the ducks or the devils either.

Anaheim wouldn't be interested in either of those players for a fifth, let alone spending the 33rd overall selection in this year's draft for BOTH useless mouths.

Narrator: Everyone leaves...
