JM_ Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 you were right @oldnews someone did want Greene. Glad we didn't pay a 2nd for him, but would have been a nice add for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 In the last two months or so, the Devils have fired their head coach, fired their GM, traded their best player and have now traded their captain. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty fair payment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 So if we trade a second rounder and Stecher with Loui we can get takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago a 2nd would’ve been a fair price but not now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we didn't pay a 2nd for him, but would have been a nice add for cheaper. yeah - I'm not surprised he's the first rental to move - but I also wouldn't have paid that much - my proposal was to get him included in a Simmonds deal, hopefully mitigating the cost by adding Benn to a deal. In any event, a 20+ minute D, who can be a prinicpal penalty killer, eat hard minutes = a great add. He was at 40% ozone starts and one of the very few plus players on the Devils = he'll help the Isles = Trotz will love him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bottom pairing D plays 20+ minutes a night - and if you believe the first thing to look at is his production (out of context) you've confirmed what I posted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 2nd round pick is nice HOWEVER, Islanders will finish in the top 10 in the league so you're looking at the 50th pick overall. Chance of a 50th overall pick making the NHL and playing more then 100 games is pretty slim. People are infatuated with draft picks. Too much so, I'd say.

Too much so, I'd say. that's because of the absolute $&!#ty nuck history of drafting until jb now people see what good drafting can do and rather then try to achieve a balanced view about the value of drafting they are now adopting the extreme view that building an elite team can only be done via the draft now draft picks are like gold .. and never ever to be traded ... not even for jt miller even though everyone would be absolutely thrilled to use a draft pick and acquire miller that way through the draft yet trading a quality draft pick for miller is simply not a valid move for them so the whole logic of draft pick values for them makes no sense to me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotz was probably consulted on it, no doubt he'll fit the team. I'm still curious what could be done for Simmonds, seems to be NJ is getting the overpayments today so maybe standing pat is just fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
