Confirmed with Link: Devils acquire LHD Jonas Siegenthaler (WAS) for ARZ 3rd 2021

This past week: We should draft our way out of this and moving picks for quick results isn’t the route we should be taking. The last thing we should do is trade for a guy like Mueller... man, Shero’ really screwed us out of more picks!

Today: Love this pickup. He’s been playing behind solid veterans and he’ll slide in our lineup just fine.

Man, I love this place!

We have 8 picks including 2 1sts in this upcoming draft and that’s before trading Kulikov or Murray. We selected in the 1st round 3 times last year. I’m not seeing your point.

Sounds more like a Ben Lovejoy replacement more than a Kulikov replacement since Kulikov can handle a puck and has some skill offensively. Hope Jonas’ puck handling isn’t as bad as I think it is.

No one can replace Lovejoy. Bite your tongue.

If you can't understand the difference between using multiple picks (including 2nd rounders) for two seasons of a 27-year old Gusev or absorbing the massive contract on an already declining Subban versus a spending a mid-round 3rd rounder for a 23 year old defenseman (hardly a quick fix), then I'm not sure what to tell you.

 

[The Great Dame]

Love the trade. Siegenthaler makes us a tougher team to play against. And he’s not Mirco Mueller, Siegenthaler is actually strong and physical whereas Mirco, despite his stature wasn’t a great crease clearer or hitter.

 

[Hisch13r]

Mueller trade 2.0

Yes because all Swiss dmen are the same. This is stupid. Siegenthaler is both better than Mueller ever was and we gave up less.

 

[HBK27]

Mueller trade 2.0

Most of the board hated the Mueller trade immediately after it was made, given the high cost of 2nd & 4th rounders.

Seems most of the board favors this trade given the cost (and that he likely appears to be better than Mueller).

See this is where you screwed up, assuming he "can't understand" as apposed to just choosing not to for the sole reason of putting himself on the outside laughing at one collective group of people who change their tunes constantly. When you just want to shit on people but can't find a good reason, making one up never fails.

 

[britdevil]

Like it Fitz. Start as you mean to go on.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Good solid trade. Will be nice to have him when we inevitably trade Kulikov and probably Murray.

 

[My3Sons]

This move seems like a well calculated risk but I’m a bit surprised they haven’t addressed the right side of the defense in terms of young players or prospects. If we see it they have to as well.

 

[tr83]

At least it's not more selling. We have an NHL ready prospect

Mueller trade 2.0

It’s literally the opposite of the Mueller trade, we paid less and he's NHL experienced.

...and lol @barry tallackson agreeing with that post. He’s on a roll today.

 

[Team Concept]

So the net of the Taylor Hall deal

Dawson Mercer + Bahl + Siegenthaler

I like it - I think both Bahl and Siege would have gone higher on redrafts given their development since the draft.

This list is incomplete. The true haul is the following:

Jonas Siegenthaler
Kevin Bahl
Nick Merkley
Nate Schnarr
Dawson Mercer

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so he has to quarantine for a week yes? So he can probably play in about 8 or 9 days?

I think it’s a shorter wait if a player drives

 

[AfroThunder396]

I don't know how quarantine works right now, Palms and Zajac played for NYI the day after the trade.

 

[HBK27]

so he has to quarantine for a week yes? So he can probably play in about 8 or 9 days?

Good question - hopefully not, as Zajac and Palmieri didn't need to...but who the hell knows with this stuff.

Would seem to be a similar situation where he's also getting tested daily and can just hop in a car and drive up to NJ.

 

[Blackjack]

Since UFA is after the ex draft, Arizona would literally need to trade for his contract and sign him. LMAO.

 

[TheDuke93]

You love it so much you keep coming back with different names, but the differences are obvious -

A: Mueller was traded with a 5th for a 2nd and a 3rd. If Mueller was traded for just a 3rd, the deal would've been fine.

B: Mueller was an AHLer when the Devils dealt for him, Siegenthaler is in the NHL albeit not in the lineup - but he played the entire season last year. Mueller had only played 15 NHL games in the 2 years before he was traded.

Mueller was also "better" offensively and worse defensively. The two aren't even comparable.

 

[Blackjack]

So I imagine our 3 protection slots are basically set at this point: Severson, Subban, Siegenthaler. I suppose if they have a good opportunity to add another defender they still can. Losing a 3rd round pick to the expansion draft isn't the worst thing in the world.

 

[MauDevils]

We picked up Kulikov for free and Murray for a 5th. This seems like a huge overpayment.

Forgetting age, RFA status, FA signing and everything else that makes this different. Using the word "huge" with an extra 3rd round pick is the biggest blunder here.
