Devils decline. Stop taking premium assets for cap dumps. Devils need that second rounder to acquire a goaltender.

Clarke isnt being traded why do Leaf fans think its a thing?

Teams aren’t lining up to pay to help out the leafs with their cap issues

1. This is a trade their new coach would want. Management wouldn't have hired him if they were just going to force a team on him that he doesn't trust. This trade gets accepted 10/10 times if offered by Treliving.
2. This 2nd won't help you in the slightest to acquire any of the top goalies on the market (Saros, Ulmark, Markstrom). All of them will require your 1st and/or top prospects.

Insinuating that a 2nd is a major asset to acquire a top goalie is genuinely a shocking statement. Destroys any credibility you might otherwise have.

If anything there is one cap dump being traded in this AGM and its Dubois.

Because he's on the block and anyone who is involved in the game beyond being a casual fan knows this. Blake's job is on the line and Clarke is the piece he can use to get Marner, Saros, etc.

I can promise you roster construction was discussed in the interview. That second round pick is a major asset in acquiring a goaltender. No one else will pay a first round pick for Ullmark or Markstrom (find a team that’ll do it), so why should New Jersey. I advise you stop with your Toronto main character syndrome where everyone who plays for the leafs is worth their weight in gold.

This trade is an outrage.

Who said hes on the block? This is nonsense. Marner sucks.

Outrage indeed. No GM takes it.

Your Blue and white disease has gotten real bad. you should get it looked at
