Colorado deal is just brutal for NJD. We would be much better off just keeping what we have than doing any of these trades.
Puljujarvi is okay, but the goal is to get Blackwood on track. That is done by getting some competition for him.
Mukhamadulkin has enormously high ceiling. I know some Devils fans just want to dump him for peanuts. It will take years, but the payoff could be huge. And on ELC for 3 more years, it will allow us to a lot more with cap.
DeBrincat would be nice, but also, to give up Holtz (3 more years of ELC) and Cooley or Slafkovsky (at least 3 years until first RFA) could be a disaster.
And for the window we are targeting, Sharangovich, Mukhamadulkin, Holtz, Cooley/Slafkovsky and Blackwood >> DeBrincat, Girard, Puljujarvi, Martinook and Campbell.
Highly recommend you listen and read all of Devils GM’s statements about plans for off-season. Few of these moves would fit what he has been talking about.
