Sign and trade Boeser.
Boeser • Rathbone • & #15
For
Zacha • Mukhamadullin • & #5
This clears cap and roster space for us and stretches our timeline a little.
Zacha is still up trending and could fill Boesers position.
( not a Boeser for Zacha trade or comparison)
Mukhamadulin has great potential, a great skating 6’4 D man.. if he arrives.
(a gamble on uncertainty and NA ice)
KHL contract expires this season, his next season should be decided shortly.
#5 pick is gratuitous to Boesers better over all player value and the #15 pick coming back.
* then trade them all for D man Dahlin from Buffalo.
For the Devils,
•Boeser is proven,
•Rathbone has great potential and played a lot on NA ice.. arguably ready to make the step to the NHL .
•the 15 is still something they could bargain with, or keeps them close to the top 10 pick.
