Sujet: As Vancouver cant sign both Hughes and Peteyit seems like
I will say it all again,

1. These trades are all heavily lopsided (thinking NJ overpays for PR win).

The gap between Quinn and Smith is de minimus.
If there were a trade, it would be Quinn for Smith (with some minor parts perhaps).
And that is it.


2. If Quinn-to-NJ ever happens, it would not occur this year. Or next. Or one after that.

Quinn has 5 years until UFA or NTC/NMC could arrive. So he has little say in picking his destination.
Only real, viable path to NJD in next few years is if he signs 1-3 year extension now.

We will see the three Hughes brothers play together at the 2026 Olympics before they skate together on same NHL team.


3. It is not usually VAN or NJD fans posting these.

So I would suggest to neutral fans that they listen to what both sides have been saying...its not happening.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>Why does everyone see Byron as a dump? lmao the guy is an established depth forward with leadership qualities as he wears the "A" and his contract is fairly reasonable for most teams looking for a 3rd line winger type player.. So sick of the moron keyboard warriors on this site who have no knowledge to contribute other than the mass opinion of the other irrelevant idiots on the site. Formulate your own opinions and come up with something original ffs. Guaranteed MTL won't pay to "dump Byron" or even to "dump Drouin". I expect Hab haters everywhere but at least have some hockey knowledge or new insight that doesn't make you look like a jack*ss. Happy Sunday bud.</div></div>

What does drouin have to do with anything. I see the homer instincts coming out in you but the reason everyone says byron is a cap dump is bc you dont pay 3.4 million for leadership.
Youre like the story of the old couple where he calls her and says "be careful, theres someone driving the wrong way down the highway youre on" so she says back "its not 1 person its every person." You disagree with everyone and are trying to convince everyone else that youre right. Has it ever occured to you that maybe the hundreds of other people might be right as opposed to just you.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kattensmagi</b></div><div>The Schmidt contract was for a 3 round so will this one also be imo. They take Pk bad contract back so maybe it's a 4 rounder... ;)</div></div>

You are making a few false equivalencies here.

The first being that Myers is as good a defender as Schmidt, he isn’t he by a long shot. Myers have been putting up some of the worst defensive impacts in the entire league the last three seasons and at 31 it’s only gonna get worse from here on.

Second, PK and his contract doesn’t have negative value for the Devils, who still are below the cap floor. His expiring 9million cap hit does in no way hurt the Devils. Also, he outperformed both Schmidt and Myers last season and is expected to get better results with fewer responsibilities for next season (as NJ just signed Hamilton). The Myers contract on the other hand is gonna be a big problem in its last year as many of NJ’s young players are gonna come of their ELCs’ that offseason and can’t afford to have Myers below replacement level 6million cap hit at that time.

It just doesn’t work, you gotta find another team to dump Myers on for that cheap.
