I think he played a little bit with Buchnevich a couple of years ago, yeah.

The Devils have now moved both of their 2nds in this year's draft. I'd imagine they're done now barring a major injury (*cuts down tree*).

In terms of depth I see it like this:

Hall-Hischier-Palmieri
Wood-Zacha-Grabner
MoJo-Zajac-Bratt
Coleman-Boyle-Gibbons
Noesen/Stafford/Hayes

Greene-Vatanen
Moore-Severson
Butcher-Lovejoy
Mueller/Santini

Schneider
Kinkaid
Lack

They absolutely needed a forward like Grabner for the top 9, this is a great pickup and a reasonable price. Hopefully he can be resigned if things work out.

My guess is they try Grabner on the first line and move Bratt down (or maybe Palmieri up and Grabner to the 2nd line).

drat with everyone healthy it looks maybe something like.

Hall-Hischier-Palmieri
Bratt-Zacha-Johansson
Coleman-Zajac-Grabner
Gibbons-Boyle-Wood

Or some combo of that with Noesen the odd man out? Maybe Mojo isn't gonna come back soon? Or maybe another trade is coming to jettison a forward?

That actually seems like a reasonable deal for both squads.


Now let's have someone get ripped off horrendously, that's always fun.

Rykov looked good in last year's WJC but he's signed with SKA to something dumb like 2021 and the Devils are gonna need to keep Hall around for the long haul.

Wonder if this means Mojo is done for the year.

after kovalchuk signs with the rangers he'll probably head over unless he has gusev syndrome.

Who reported that? I know Gibbons and Schneider are skating but the most recent thing I heard on Mojo was "no timetable" which usually means dead

That's from the 10th so hopefully he didn't have a setback or anything. This gives them some breathing room at least, if he can be back for the theoretical playoffs that would be great.

If Tampa could make it work wouldn't they rather have Ryan? They can buy him out with an amnesty in 2020 probably.

So, just to be clear, the theoretical trade would look like this:

Tampa sends picks/prospects/whatever to Ottawa for Karlsson and Ryan
Tampa then unloads Ryan to another team and sweetens the pot with picks/prospects/whatever

Right?

Otherwise, what is the point of linking the two? Ottawa could just shop Karlsson for a bigger haul and then package Ryan elsewhere with their own sweetener.

edit: this is all accepting Melnyk’s bizarre premise that the only way to trade Karlsson is to include Ryan.

Apparently not that many teams are actually in on Karlsson.

Dorian is a terrible GM and will say “that was the only team that was interested” when he trades away the best D in the league for a couple rotten beans.

Tampa has a deep prospect pool, although not blue chips. But I’d trade almost all of them for karlsson.

More likely they split the difference such as:

Karlsson to Tampa
Picks and prospects to Ottawa
Ryan to Arizona
Prospect from Ottawa to Arizona
Prospect from Tampa to Arizona

Or something like that.
