How can you describe your transaction as The Last Piece?

The Devils are in the early stages of their rebuild and are not even close to adding the Last Piece.

Their roster looks very weak. I bet their fans wish Lou was still running this teaam.

The devils had a good offseason getting Marcus johonson and nicko histner but they need to improv on there defence and mabey a goalie.

I was not saying "the last piece" as in "here comes the cup," I was referring to pretty much everyone, including several players and Shero himself, that they are looking to add on defense. I think the Wild trade is somewhat fair, give or take a few pieces (outside of Henrique for Brodin, the extras are dispensable.)

And do I wish Lou was still running the team? Hell no. He was garbage his last few years, with the Schneider trade/deal as the last good move by him. Close deal (4.85x5), Ryder, Brunner, Cammalleri (good player but too injury prone for the contract) Zajac contract (5.75x8), letting DeBoer play Brodeur over Schneider, Volchenkov contract (4.25x6!!!), letting parise walk, Kovalchuk fiasco, (2010 was a tire fire offseason).

Honestly his best move outside of Schneider was (finally) firing Deboer and trading Jagr for a 2nd/3rd, which we then directly swapped for Kyle Palmieri a few months later.

Shero has been amazing in nearly every way and I have almost no complaints. Larsson for Taylor Hall, 2nd/3rd for Marcus Johansson, and the same price for Palmieri in 3 consecutive offseason. And now Nico as well.

Dint worry, the Lou we all know and love will hit the Leafs soon enough. In fact, I think its already starting with that Marleau deal. 3 years??? Good luck. And want the leafs to succeed.

They need help on defense and thats what I did. Not done yet, but its coming along.

And a goalie? Schneider is historically a top 5-6 goalie. Career .922 before this year, in which he was on a team where everyone was ****. A bad defense results in not clearing the puck or players in front of the net, which results in the goalie not eeing the shots, and the shots going in.

I like the trade the only problem I could see with it is Minnesota is stacked down the middle so I don't see the use in them adding Henrique and giving up brodin when they should be focusing on the back end ( not saying that their back end is weak just saying their offence is stronger)

let's take a look at all the good players drafted by Lamoriello in NJ in the cap era:
Larsson
Severson
Henrique

yeah I bet they're still weeping over that loss
