I made that same trade once but I added the Leafs 2022 1st round pick also. New Jersey fans werent happy with it lol.

top 4 dmen with top 5 rw, its a solid deal for both teams imo

i really like the idea of adding those vets to short team contracts, perron is a beast even at that age, and fleurry can offer alot to gibson

Marner is worth more than 2 OA. I've never seen a more overrated draft pool. Not one superstar yet fan bases are convincing themselves that their guy will be that guy. Bird in hand fallacy

if we can get more good!, i thin mercer ends up being a ppg player

Completely missed the mark on the Gibson deal. You added 4 pieces and only one of them makes any sense from the Anaheim perspective. They aren’t competing right now, so vets aren’t of value (Kerfoot, Holl). Gibson is somewhat expendable because their goalie pipeline is strong (Woll).

You gotta consider the other team at least a little when setting up a trade, not to mention that value isn’t enough

kerfoot and hill aren’t vets

Devils accept, any fan that says they wouldn’t is out of their mind

Devils decline.

I guess you are “out of your mind” - per Book_Hockey. LOL

i really am just not that into marner im sure its good value im just not there. im sure hes good but i cant imagine hes not benefiting from some guy named mathews. it could be oates hull backstrom ovi type of mutual chemistry. but man it seems like a lot for what im afraid is cheechoo.

If wanting to keep Mercer and Slafkovsky is wrong, I don't want to be Wright.

I dream of a world where NJ gets Wright, and then next year gets Bedard...Might as well have every top C from every draft

If Gibson is only worth two rentals, a goalie prospect and a second, why do you want him?

Holl is 30 and Kerfoot is 27. They’re both on expiring contracts so they’re rentals. There’s no added value for a team not competing this year to trade for guys who will leave the team at the end of the year by moving a long term asset

if the team has cao they can resign plus they are close to ending their rebuild

with getzlaf retiring i can see them wanting to add a top 6 swiss knife type of player, that can handle a defensive role while putting up pts
