Good trade for New Jersey because they get something more than zero for a guy they were going to lose for nothing because they weren't going to make him a qualifying offer.
I find it difficult to believe that San Jose would qualify him at $3,360,000, so they may have just wasted a pick, albeit a low one. If they aren't planning to qualify him, then they've just traded for a few days of exclusive negotiating rights before he becomes a UFA, but it could work out ok for them if they can get him to sign for less. I thought they would have gone for somebody better though.
