Value of: 2022 #1 overall if Devils win draft lottery

[Colezuki]

As a habs fan I dunno, if we’re picking 3rd our 2nd rd to move up if 5th our Calgary 1st

 

[Roof Daddy]

Draisaitl for Hischier + 1st OA.

 

[Setec Astronomy]

What are your thoughts on this package from Nashville?

Askarov
2022 1st
Farrance
Afanasyev/Evangelista

Assuming the political issues with KHL players have been resolved by the draft, I think the Devils would accept that.

 

[Guttersniped]

the NHL ruled that a franchise can win the lottery no more than twice in a five-year span.
That isn't exclusive to the first overall pick: It means a team can't advance by reason of lottery win more than twice in a five-year span.
So Buffalo and Devils can't win

As other people have pointed out, previous wins don’t count, but even if they did the Devils still could win. Nico was in 2017.

 

[John Pedro]

Draisaitl for Hischier + 1st OA.

pretty hard to say no to this other than Hischier has turned a major corner offensively and he's the captain of the club. But value is pretty good.

I don't think any GM would be dumb to trade 1st OV for a goalie prospect. the best goalies prospect usually doesn't crack top10 in their draft, let alone trade 1st ov for one of them. Askarov seems like at least two years away, that won't help the Devils any more than just keeping the pick.

 

[Breakers]

developing a goaltender is sooooooo difficult some teams just bypass it,
Steve Y spoke to that recently

I mean look how many picks philly spent on goalies over the years

If they target one of the top prospects ready to make a jump along with other picks and prospects

 

[Andre Palot]

Draisaitl for Hischier + 1st OA.

Would Edmonton fans take that? I doubt it

 

[Tripledeke333]

The consensus number 1 overall is a non-generational center, a position the Devils are set at for the next decade. The Devils score a lot of goals as is, and have a top five prospect pipeline.

I could see them trading the pick for Spencer Knight and something else or Askarov, depending on what the political situation with Russia (NOT INVITING COMMENTS ABOUT UKRAINE) is by draft day. I imagine this would work for the Panthers/Predators.

If not a goalie, I could see the Fitzgerald agreeing to trade the pick for Brady Tkachuk or Matthew Tkachuk (if a long term deal were worked out ahead of time).

As it stands now, it’s a distinct possibility the Devils end up with the pick. Interested to see what fans of other teams would be willing to trade for it.

What do the Habs have to add to their 1st round pick to get the 1OA?

What about the Habs 1st plus the Calgary 1st?

 

[t0nedeff]

Why not just trade it or Gibson.

 

[t0nedeff]

Draisaitl for Hischier + 1st OA.

What a dumb post. Guy doesn't speak for any other Oiler fan.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

The Devils don’t need Wright. And they need a goalie more than Slafkovsky.

Fine you have convinced me... Gibson for 1st overall...

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Why not just trade it or Gibson.

damn you beat me to it

 

[PAZ]

Colorado drafted Mackinnon while having O'Reilly, Stastny, and Duchene down the middle. It would be akin to trading Mackinnon for Vasilevsky or Subban at the time.

Having too many centers is a good problem to have and you deal with it when it comes to a crossroads.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Sebastian Aho + 2023 Carolina 1st

 

[Lays]

The Devils don’t need Wright. And they need a goalie more than Slafkovsky.

You don’t trade a 1st overall for a goalie over just drafting the 2nd ranked player instead

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I see what you're doing, playing hard to get. Well now we have to have Boeser! We'll add to the 1st overall if need be!

Thanks!

 

[fasterthanlight]

Meier

 

[WingsMJN2965]

The value is higher to hold the pick and sell Hischier or Wright as a U25 high end center.

Of course, that’s risking that Wright busts.

 

[trick9]

Sebastian Aho + 2023 Carolina 1st

What? That’s insane.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Would Edmonton fans take that? I doubt it

Not a chance.

If McDavid or Draisaitl were moved NJ would be one of the teams I'd move one of them to for a package of high end youth but Hischier isnt part of that.

 

[Andre Palot]

What would your package look like

 

[Fogelhund]

The only deals that I would see as feasible, would be Buffalo, Montreal or Arizona. If their first pick is high enough, it's possible that NJD would entertain swapping the 1st OA, for two/three picks in the first round. For example, maybe if Buffalo's first is top three and their second is 15... maybe... Montreal needs a C, so maybe they'd move a top 3 + other first round, plus very early second round?? Arizona should have three first round picks, but they need help in so many spots, it wouldn't make sense for them.

 

[Rebels57]

Devils
#1 overall +

Ducks
Gibson + top 10 pick +

Don't think anyone is beating that offer and it would honestly be a good idea for both teams.

 

[Captain97]

Honestly to the Habs,

for their pick (3-5) + Calrgary's 1st maybe a little extra.

Basically Wright for Nemec/Jiricem + late 1st

Don't think I would do it but I could see it happening.

 

[Eggtimer]

If they’re not comfortable with Wright, you draft Slafkovsky. It’s not that hard of a choice to make.

If we can trade down and ensure we get Slafkovsky Jiricek or Nemec , why not add assets to trade down?
I thnk that’s what the OP is asking. However , I can see the Devils Having Slafkovsky as their #1 target amd won’t piss around amd just take him at #1 if it can’t be assured teams will pass on him
