Sujet: The type of dman we need
I was looking at stats recently and was thinking if hits and/or blocked shots could be a factor for the defense. As of today, Severson has more blocked shots than any of the devils d-man thus far this season, and Graves has the same amount of blocked shots as Siegenthaler (who has the most for the Devils thus far). Carrier would be great (top 10 in blocked shots among d-man atm). Zadorov would deliver allot of hits, but does not have the best stats as far for blocked shots and Tanev is the inverse. Wish we could get someone like Hanifin or like Connor Murphy (CHI) or bring back Adam Larsson. But, those guys will probably cost an arm and leg and some of them are probably not up for a trade. Hopefully, Miller will play soon and help the defense. Side Note: any updates on his status?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PaulieWalnuts</b></div><div>Both teams decline the Tkachuk trade, doesn't make any sense for either party. (and honestly, a top 6 forward with center capabilities, one of the leagues better top 4 D and 6OVA pick is probably an overpayment for Tkachuk).
Bratt gets at least 2m more AAV and preferably some more term to go with that contract.
Marchment gets way more than that in FA, at least 4m AAV I'd think. I think he's a good player to target though, I'm a fan of his game.
I don't mind trading Johnsson for that return, though maybe Montreal isn't the best fit for him.
Nor do I mind trading Zacha for a late 1st rd pick either, but I fail to see the point in including Kuokkanen here.
Kuokkanen has some unrealized upside but also provides very solid forward depth in the short term, there's always gonna be someone that's injured and Kuokkanen provides great cover for that.
Signing Manson is probably a mistake, his game's fallen off and I don't think it's gonna improve in the future, likely the opposite.
You should probably have looked into getting another goalie, Zacha would've been great to use as basis for a trade involving Samsonov or Vanecek imo.
Daws probably needs at least one more year in the minors before truly being ready to take on NHL responsibilities.

I really like the lines though, overall not the worst AGM I've seen, thumbs up.</div></div>

I admit I'm not the best when it comes to doing the contracts and prices. I definitely feel with Wood and Kuokkanen returning, and with Holtz (and possibly Foote and few other minor leaguers coming up) definitely see some trades coming, but not sure who would the odd person/people out. I would wait on Blackwood with his status, though Samsonov or Vanecek would not be a bad idea. I have been happy with Daws and everything he has tried to do thus far. Appreciate the feedback and everyone else's.

Sujet: (NJD/ARI) - Hall, Speers for Bahl, Merkley, Schnarr, 1sr round pick, conditional 3rd round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WellIDK</b></div><div>Well I'd say win for Coyotes. I honestly don't understand this trade from Devils perspective. You got Hischier, Hughes, Zacha and McLeod as centers and you trade for two centers who aren't better than those 4. Sure Bahl is a pretty good prospect, but it doesn't hurt for the Coyotes with OEL and Chychrun as top 4 LD's. Sure those draft picks are good. Probably a mid 1st and a 2nd or 3rd. But when you get a quality top 6 player at 3M cap hit without giving up anything special, you win the trade</div></div>

I was hoping the Devils would have tried to get someone like Chychrun as the centerpiece in this trade [even if the devils had to add more to their side in the trade]. The Devils do need more grit &amp; size on defense, so I'm happy with the acquisition of Bahl.

Sujet: Kovi [FLA]
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>synes7hesia</b></div><div>That FLA trade...why? Kovalchuk, Cammy (salary-retained), and one of Nico/Nolan for a player who has hit 50 points twice (Trochek)and a guy being billed as an offensive defenseman while only putting up 17 points (Matheson).

Totally overpaying on NJ's end here as Trochek/Matheson don't get anywhere close to being worth a first-overall + a semi-high quality player and a decent player after a bad year. Not to mention that Nico/Nolan can eventually be as good as Trochek if not better plus having more time in our system to adapt and learn how we would like them to.</div></div>

Originally, I was either going to give the 2018 2nd round pick from FLA back instead of the 2018 1st, or swap Barkov for Trocheck. I think you confused yourself in response, the pick for Nolan/Nico was not in this trade, (2018 1st round pick was, along w/ one of 2017 2nd round picks). But, definitely see where you going. Thanks for your feedback.
