Just stop with this trade. No combination that the devils have will land Quinn Hughes who is legitimately one of the best offensive defensemen we've ever seen. And you can't even deny that point. Fastest in history to reach 200 points, back-to-back 60+ point seasons, and arguably the best defenseman in franchise history.

Looking on the Devils side, I don't see a scenario where the Devils would even entertain trading Nemec or Holtz which would fall way short of a mammoth offer. Not to mention they don't need Hughes. Hamilton, Siegenthaler, L. Hughes, and Nemec will become staples on their D-core. Stop posting these trades.

This is probably worse than any mock Hughes trade in my opinion, definitely not worse than any Pettersson trade though. But can we all agree to stop beating a dead horse on JT Miller rumours. The guy is up there with Pavel Bure in franchise history as one of the only point-per-game players, an all around great leader in the room, and has a higher ceiling than Horvat ever had. The guy has been lights out in the 17 games under Tocchet and always seems to answer to the brutal Vancouver media with a lot of insight and character.

I've seen trades that dump Miller for nothing just because he plays with "emotion." Miller is a raging bull on the ice attitude wise that needs a coach to reason and guide him in the right direction. Miller looks like a complete package under Tocchet and an integral part of this teams leadership going forward.

And with Pittsburgh, sure there may have been discussions, but they didn't even make an offer. Whatever first, second, or third they offered wouldn't be as beneficial to this team as a poised JT Miller. End of story.

First of all this is not a trade. Buffalo has UPL and Levi coming through the system and they need time. Second of all, where are all the haters who were saying "Demko isn't a top ten goalie, Demko is one of the worst, Demko is not worth anything because he wasn't good for 20 games." Seriously? Like the guy was playing through an injury and recovering from knee surgery in the summer. Of course he wasn't playing up to his potential. He's got a .932 in the four games since coming back and has looked like everything the Canucks have missed for the past three months. Now winning three in a row with one of the most injured rosters in the league, Demko is carrying them out of the bottom (no Bedard). This team is going to be competitive this upcoming season with the right moves in the off-season and commitment to off-season training from the core group of guys. There's an actual system now and their best penalty killer in Demko is back.
