  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.
Flames (Huska) got Olli Maatta playing like a Norris caliber d-man after he got here. I'm confident Nemec's defensive game will vastly improve going forward. The one thing Huska is really good at it is improving defence.

Why is NJD doing this for just picks??

I agree. It’s good value, but a pretty unexpected return because NJ doesn’t need futures, they’re trying to win now.

My guess is Mehta is going to use some of the draft capital to make other trades.

Emily Kaplan also indicated this may be the case:

 
This is what happens when you don’t just take the best player available in the draft. The return for Nemec is what it is but if you look at it as the 2nd overall pick for two late 1st and a guy that is unlikely to make the NHL, that’s a trash return.
