I doubt NJD cares about moving up, as they have enough prospects to take whatever's available. CGY or Seattle (#9, #8) would probably be more willing to trade up for certain players

Rangers accept

The mcgroaty trades get worse and worse

The difference between McGroarty and Mailloux isn’t like 10 spots in the draft

Winnipeg says no.

That’s Chicago proposal is an absolute joke, to think you can dump Anderson’s remaining 3 x $5.5m on the Hawks and only offer up a punching bag in Pazzetta and two mid rounds picks is delusional.

Keep Pazzetta and switch the two picks for Calgary’s 2025 1st and Joshua Roy and the Hawks consider it.

You're getting the same quality prospect at 5 as you are at 10, that group runs from 5-12ish. Sure you get more of a choice at 5 but they're all about the same. You might find a team willing to trade up from below 12 but NJ isn't paying a premium so they can get a similar quality player as they would already

^ ^ THIS, all day. ^ ^

I am not trading Mailloux. He is our 2nd best RD in our system, and is criminally underrated due to Off ice factors. Even if there was a trade made that made logical sense, you will never get other fanbases fans to agree on this site. Most are still completely under the influence of the initial reporting and have no clue he didnt rape anyone.
