Thank goodness for the "ignore list" button. I advise it for anyone actually thinking of getting upset at a troll.

I think you posted this in the wrong thread

Wings are not trading their future goalie

Canucks accept

Cossa is our future, Detroit passes mightily.

VAN - Devils decline
ARI - Devils strongly decline
DET - Devils strongly decline
EDM - Devils flip a coin
BOS - Devils agree if extension is in place

I like Mercer but Detroit declines.

What's wrong with this?

It may not be perfect and would need some tweaking but I don't see anything outrageous

No from Boston

Severson for only a 2nd? Taking on a bad Barrie contract for essentially an expiring deal if we want to move on from Blackwood? HISCHIER and a 2023 1st for an overrated Dman and an above average center? Trading all that for Pasta instead of just going for him in free agency?

Like I said, it needs some tweaking :

- Severson : add another 2nd, he's UFA to be

- Chychrun : based on the asks I have seen for him (Pinto + 1st +), this is pretty reasonable. Devils are also getting Schmaltz who had 59 pts in 63 games last season. He's only 3 years older than Hischier

- Barrie only has 1 more year at 4.5 AAV. I can understand not wanting/needing him but he's still a good OFD. Blackwood turns 26 y/o soon, I have no idea how high you guys still are on him. He doesn't look like anything special from the outside

- Pasta is an Elite player, price to acquire him would be substantial no matter what

The only one I would not do for the Devils right away is the Cossa for Mercer deal. Surprised it's the only one you didn't mention
