Sujet: NJD Trouba Myers Lucic Pulijujarvi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Newanda</b></div><div>It would be very hard seeing Severson get traded, even if Trouba was coming the other way. The only way I would do that would be if the Devils were able to talk to Trouba beforehand and get him to sign an extension for 7-8 years.

With Butcher, Smith, Greene, and Mueller on the left side of defense means it would be set for this year and the hopefully the foreseeable future. Severson is a great start on the right hand side but Vatanen has a one good and one bad season and the jury is still out on Carrick and Santini. Also after Trouba, Karlsson, and Myers the available RHD-men drop off in quality, and I think if Shero doesn't do something to fix the defense it could hurt their season and chances to resign Hall.</div></div>

I think Vatanen's body of work shows he would be an above average 2nd pairing Dman. Considering he has only really had 1 bad season in his 6 year career, I would be happy giving him an extension. As for UFA, I only see Karlsson as a long-term solution. Tyler Myers is a big mistake waiting to happen. As far as the Trouba trade is concerned, it would be in WPG's best interest to do a sign-and-trade to maximize return. 2-3 years from now, I would be very happy with a top 4 of:

Smith-Trouba
Butcher-Vatanen

Sujet: Possible 2019-20 roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Opie</b></div><div>All True ... and honestly I still think the one + two option favors the Devs (ex Severson, who they can't afford to lose, due to lack of depth on blueline). Trouba maybe more valuable than that package.

Also, in that last trade, I think JQ is essentially valueless now. AHL value. Not sure that package gets AB.</div></div>

The more I think about it, I don't see the Devils escaping a Trouba deal without giving up Severson or Butcher. The Jets are pretty much set on offense. Not worth it in my opinion, especially to get a guy coming off a career season. He had been very average, and injury prone, prior to this year. Trouba could very well become a career top pairing dman wherever he goes, but I can also see it blowing up in someone's face like Shattenkirk did.

In my opinion, JQ's value will be in trying to move up in the draft. If the Devils see someone they like late in the 1st round (between 24 and 28), he could be packaged with the early 2nd rounder to move up. Same with moving him with one of the later 2nd round picks to get into the mid 2nd round.
