Corsi is GROSSLY overrated
I wanted to go to the draft, and was disappointed that I had to go to FL last minute and miss it. But given both picks were traded I'm not so disappointed anymore, lol.

I was bothered by this for a while until I realized that I liked the Devils anyways. Treat 'em well, boys. Thank you for Horvat.

You guys got yourself a future U.S Olympic goalie. Style echo's that of J.Quick. Very rarely lets in a softie...treat him with care. He's a gem.
IMO:
Value-wise, this is an absolute steal. Did not think Schneider would only return a top 10 pick.
The thing is, we needed offense and offense badly. Would our pick at 9 have helped us next year offensively? Probably not.. so we'd be in the same boat looking for UFAs.
This does solve a big issue going forward though. Assuming we keep him long-term because if he's two years and done.. it will be severely disappointing.

He will do well, in tandem with Brodeur as a mentor and terreiri there to help him excel.
I think he will help significantly to fill the void and should finish out his career here. I think this is the first of a series of restructuring moves. It is going to dictate what the roster looks like after the summer.

I'm shocked there was as much hemming and hawing as there was about the trade in the draft thread. Especially given the #9 was the ONLY asset we gave up. Then again I shouldn't be surprised, it's HF where a moody question mark is worth more than an established goalie who should have a Rask-like breakout when he becomes the full-time starter.

That's not really fair. This fanbase has been heart-set on having a genuine blue-chip forward prospect. We're coming around now as the trade sinks in.
