Hello Devils fans. Just wondering if there is zero interest in this or if it's something you would consider. Devils appear to be solid at RD and have Nemec developing in the AHL. Devils are rumored to have Evans on their target list.

* Habs or Flames 1st (whichever is best but lottery protection... probably falls around 10-15 range)
* Evans with extension (pretend it's a deal you like... maybe 5x $3.5M?)
* One of Mailloux or Engstrom (RD or LD... your choice)
for
* Nemec

Habs can retain on Evans to give you the most cap space possible for your run. Devils can either keep the 1st the Habs give or use it on another trade for a bigger TDL add.

This is probably the most reasonable proposal from a Habs fan ever on this site. Well done.

I feel like Nemec as an asset is still pretty valuable and if used as trade bait should be used for a more high value player. I’d rather add to Nemec and get something better in return.

Or just let him cook and earn a spot on the roster. I like Kovacevic but I don’t think he’s long term. I might be wrong but with the log jam the Devils have at RD he’s probably the most expendable going forward.

You don't think you can hit with the 10-15 range 1st and convince Evans to stay? That 1st can be used to get other upgrades as well. Devils are in a good spot with most of their core locked up and the RD side looks very stable.

3C is a hole. What other holes do the Devils have? LD?

I'm like 1/100 now? :laugh:

The impressive part to this is other Habs fans also like it. Not much complaining going on that you usually see from fans on these main board trade talks.
 
If the Devil's come to Hughes asking about Evans I honestly think this convo might come about. Good job on the proposal. I think Hughes would love to get Slafs other buddy and we really could use a top 4 RD. If Devil's want to dump Haula, something like Nemec + Haula for Evans + Roy/Mailloux + 1st

Evans doesn't have high scoring typically but he takes some nasty defensive matchup minutes plus is one of the best, if not best penalty killer in the league this year.

we have Luke Hughes and Siegs on the left with Silayev coming. LD should be okay.

our biggest needs right now are:

longterm 3C
middle 6 winger that can score
goalie of the future (Markstrom has been tremendous, but he is obviously old)

3C is underperforming. Not sure I’m ready to give up a premium asset to fill the position though. Premium assets don’t come along often and Nemec is potentially the last premium asset the Devils will have for a while.

I still feel if he’s going to be traded it should be for a player of equal or more value. Not saying this is a bad proposal as you can see plenty of Devils fans are contemplating it. Personally I just feel like quantity coming in doesn’t help us win.

Maybe there’s a different deal that can be made between the two teams. I’m guessing the goal is to get Nemec on the Habs (not Evan’s to NJ as the title suggests) I just don’t see it with this deal. For me at least.

Without going into a long winded explanation, Devils needs right now are not the type of deals you should be trading a promising young defenseman for.

The pieces that you trade Nemec for are either one-for-one equivalent prospects or a package for a top end lineup player which the Devils don’t need at any position and frankly can’t afford another 8+ million AAV contract to one player.

Devils need a middle six scoring forward and a 3C. We can get Evans (or similar player) with a 2nd/3rd round pick and middling prospect. Similarly for a forward like Hall/Palmieri on the market.

Nothing wrong with the offer at all.

As a devils fan, I'd personally just keep Nemec because I want to shoot for the upside of what I think he can be. Next year I think the RHD jam up resolves itself and I think he'll be in the lineup every day. But that's just personal preference. If they made a move like this, I wouldn't be beside myself or anything.

With the way he's been playing, no team in this galaxy is letting Evans go for a 2nd/3rd and a longshot prospect.

He's at the very least an attractive rental bait for a 1st + at the TDL. He's exactly the kind of add every contender needs on a playoff run.

Why?

1- We need Evans

2- We are already loaded with prospect defensemen
Click to expand...
1 - We have Beck waiting to be called up as well as guys like Kapanen and Davidson waiting in the wings

2 - on the right side we have Reinbacher who is still injured, Mailloux who couldn't find the defensive zone on a map of the defensive zone, and Konyushkov who still has term on his contract and will maybe be a bottom pairing guy.

Would rather deal Roy than Heineman since he plays a style that better fits what Montreal is looking for out of their bottom 6. If we deal Dobeš we're back to Primeau being the backup which is horrifying

To be honest Heinemen is one hell of a scorer better then Roy.
I would rather give Roy then Heinemen.
Fowler is comming next year Dobes is expendable
 
Unlike others, I think this is bad because it doesn't meet the needs of NJ, even if the "value" works. Bottom line: Devils need proven NHL scoring now, not futures + a depth forward. Regardless of how you think of Evans, he's still a depth forward and futures on top to make up the value are essentially valueless within the NJ's current window, which gets shorter once you deal Nemec as well.

It makes far more sense to keep Nemec, move Hamilton and deploy the cap savings for players better than Evans. Hamilton is still a good player and movable.

Evans is a likable player, makes sense why we'd look at him, but the price paid will be lower and probably simpler.

I think the thing that pushes it towards acceptable is the 1st, they likely hold on to the 1st until the draft and see if they can land another piece for it there. They'd be getting a long-term solution at 3C and reloading with some tradeable assets.

I still think we should be able to get a more solid piece in trading Nemec than a 10-15 pick. While I think we would probably be able to lock Evans up I think we have other assets that can be used to get him.

Maybe even Gritsyuk and a 2nd or something for Evans makes sense since he’s Demidov’s teammate in SKA.
