Confirmed with Link: Devils trade 2nd rounder and Herman Traff for Brian Doumilin

[Louskoolaid89]

Now let's get Brock Nelson from our old pal Lou. Hahaha Jack Haters should be all fired up if that happens!

 

[billingtons ghost]

Here's a surprise: team that has been bitching about Hamilton while he hits career high in points doesn't like something Fitz does.

Dumoulin is plug for dealing Kovacevic for another second.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Maybe…maybe based on the retention, there is something bigger and better coming that might make this look better in the next 24 hours.

Maybe.

No doubt in my mind something truly big is coming

 

[Call Me Al]

everyone getting bent out of shape over this guy? this is the first time i've even heard his name mentioned on here! rykov 2.0 anger

i don’t think anyone really cares about this guy, but i’d argue that using a 2nd for trades is a good move, only there have to be way better ways to use it than this. really poor asset management

 

[NJDevs26]

This is my favorite point of the Fitz cycle before we inevitably realize that we arent actually going to get anyone.

Which is probably smart.

Nah we’ll get someone, everyone is going to fantasize about Rantanen but Fitz is going to give up the store for one of the Nashville fossils instead and cement my hatred of him for good

 

[Nocashstyle]

Nemec and Casey and Dougie are all RD. Dumoulin is a LD.

Someone is likely playing on their offhand.

Down Siegenthaler and Dougie. Nemec and Casey cannot be trusted to have both in the lineup full time.

Yeah they needed a defenseman

 

[HoliksGhost]

You all act like the trades are done and this was the only move, lol

You think Fitz has more knowledge of Seigs and Dougies injuries?

See how it plays out FFS

 

[Satans Hockey]

and people say i'm a debbie downer on here! people gotta chill out

The whole season has come down in flames on us this past week. I need the recipe for the Kool Aid for those who aren't miserable f***s about this team currently because they are clearly drinking the good stuff.

 

[NjDevsRR]

And I do think this is a prelude to two more moves that Fitz will make. I truly do believe he is on the hot seat and I expect a lot more to be done and in this market it will cost a lot. So a lot of you folks need to be prepared for it.

Or a first

I understand what you're saying, but I dont really think any of this matters.

Other trades don't make this trade better. Dougie and Sieg being out the rest of the year doesnt make this trade better.

It's a dumb trade giving up actual value for an older and bad player and it's stupid and it should be ridiculed.

LOL that would be even dumber, cause then you’re basically trading one UFA for a worse UFA

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Expensive price. This is Fitz's last stand, Mercer and possibly Nemec are going I think.

just because you know less about the team than others isn't a flex.

Now let's get Brock Nelson from our old pal Lou. Hahaha Jack Haters should be all fired up if that happens!

Which is hilarious because people complained about how Jack played in the 4 Nations meanwhile Brock Nelson was absolutely putrid the entire tournament.

 

[NJDfan86]

this is brutal

Bingo!

They’re certainly not done…THAT’s what worries me lol, this is just another dumb move on top of a series of them

 

[Mgd31]

Maybe…maybe based on the retention, there is something bigger and better coming that might make this look better in the next 24 hours.

Maybe.

Even if that's the case, it is a ridiculous price. A 2nd okay, still an overpayment, but I'll live.

But a prospect having a good year, on top of that? Absurd.

I try to be as level headed as possible here most times, but this is sickening.

[Devils Trap]

Everyone is complaining about the weakness of this draft.... Draft picks are over valued as is. Fitz clearly wants to win, so why not give it a go.

 

[JK3]

If we need a third pairing guy just get Hatakka up here or Misyul.

 

[JrFischer54]

just because you know less about the team than others isn't a flex.

guy i remember holding your hand when the rykov deal came and talking you off the bridge.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Maybe.

That’s what I’m thinking.

They paid a premium to keep the cap space loose, so there has to be other wheels spinning — just hopefully not in mud.

because the player that they traded for is a bad player.
