Tom is gonna do something stupid and go after Marchessault. Another aging and slow player with a contract that is too long.

Then Fitz is gone by year's end, making a team that's so top heavy that one injury derails their entire season

all year we've been pinching pennies to save up for deadline cap space, and we just traded it for a 21 year old playing college hockey.
tom fitzgerald is a full blown cancer.

What? How could anyone possibly twist this trade positively
. There’s no reason to not be upset about this.

I'm dying for you to explain the reality of literally giving a team $2.3m of valuable cap space so that Fitz could bring in a 21 year old college hockey player who's the son of one of his friends.
I don't need to take a break from the team because I'm critical of the oaf that's speedrunning the next edition of the Devils tank-a-thon.

I’m not upset, just resigned…I’d rather Fitz wave the white flag than go all in on a stupid long term deal, this team hardly deserves the all in strategy, especially if there’s still a chance Jack misses the rest of the year or would just be playing hurt again in a foolish playoff charge.What? How could anyone possibly twist this trade positively
Off the top of my head, Toronto brokered some deals to grind out some assets while still being in a playoff spot.
One more point than Cole Eiserman! I thought I had read some positive things about Lachance a few months back. Not expecting him to be a world beater, but the trade essentially is Lachance for Hauser and less than 300K in actual dollars.

So the Devils turn a 2022 5th round pick into a 2021 6th round pick and they spent cap space to do it?
This is bizarre.
Lachance is having a fine enough year in college but he’s already 21. He’s basically the same age as Hauser.
I don’t see either of them play enough to hold an informed opinion but the number for both don’t scream future NHL player.
Why would you spend cap space to swap one likely AHL guy for another?

We barely have enough room for our own deadline additions, the only way we are adding other teams' salary is if Jack is going on LTIR
Trade itself is whatever. Lachance has 52 points in 72 games for BU, probably ends up as an AHL forward but we need those. Hauser is basically a nothing and I doubt he's ever coming over to NA.
