Thats too much by the devils. They aren't trading away scrubs either so they shouldn't be throwing in that many picks and prospects if they are also trading studs

If you a Norris-level Defenseman and Hart-level CENTER! This price feels legitimate for NHL GM's. The players being traded by the Devils have never reached the status of the players being dealt by the Canucks. They are very quality players and when you talk about the Canucks, they need to fill holes left by 43/40. The players being traded back will do that and more. I equate this trade to a bigger more extended version of the Tkachuk trade. That trade felt like this one, it feels lopsided but once you realize the Devils are getting immediate upgrades it levels the playing field out.

NJD doesn't consider.

Nico for Quinn is similar value. 4 years, Nico plays a more valuable position with a cheaper contract. Chalk a 1st or 2 on there maybe.

Nemec+Bratt+Mercer+Casey for Pettersson is a hell no from NJD
