f*** me

I'll miss Zetterlund, but if these are the two main pieces it's a great trade.

Yall gonna be mad

 

[Devs3cups]

f*** me

Sorry for your loss, man.

 

[crashline]

Fare thee well our rosy-cheeked Swedish prince ...

 

[Blackjack]

f*** me

Weird that Zetterlund didn’t know about it.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Just waiting for this,

Take care of this Sharks business, Chuck, like it’s 1983….

 

[Forge]

f*** me

Son of a bitch, I Just typed out that last post on the idea that Z was not part of the return.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

f*** me

Guessing it’s that along with Johnsson and Muk

Sharangovich is also possible as well as another pick

 

[Alex NJD]

So lets assume that Zetterlund is not going back in the deal. Is there any merit to simply breaking up the top 3 of Nico / Jack / Bratt? We know that this Nico line works. We know jack will work regardless of who he is with. Putting Bratt / Timo together on their own, even if it's with someone like Haula should still drive some real action, right? I mean, Bratt carried Goose and Zacha to usefulness a couple of years ago.

Tatar - Nico - Mercer
Pala - Jack - Zetterlund
Bratt - Haula - Timo

Wood - Mikey - Bastian

Boqvist

Or maybe we add a rental like Domi who can slot into center that third line?

One of the poorest aged posts I've ever seen on here LOL

 

[BahlDeep]

It's an amazing trade lol... I like Zetturland but he might never crack 30 goals

 

[Saugus]

f*** me

I'm not thrilled to lose Big Z, but Meier is worth it.

Damn dude, it must’ve taken you forever to type this one out!

 

[DEVILS130]

Would imagine there is another prospect involved.

GOAT

 

[jkrdevil]

Weird that Zetterlund didn’t know about it.

He probably got called by Ryan before the trade call was over and the Devils called him

 

[Hisch13r]

Better be smaller pieces on top of that.

Who tf is Shayna

Devils writer for the athletic. She's pretty cool....even if I believe she's a rangers fan

Probably also Muk.

 

[Emperoreddy]

You have to give to get. Jesus guys it's not that complicated.

 

[NJDevs26]

Who tf is Shayna

The occasional Devils beat writer from the Athletic

 

[Rhodes 81]

Who tf is Shayna

A very good hockey writer, but normally not a news breaker
