I was thinking of the trade possibilities. LAF + Schneider was the rumored deal for JT which if true is good value. There's some risk with LAF, but at the time of his contract signing, the majority of Rangers fans seem to think it's a potential steal. Of course, LAF has reverted back to his previous play. He would also be a fit on the PP as he likes the left wall apparently. I would take the swing here. Too bad Kakko was traded as I liked him as a breakout candidate as well.
As for what NJ can offer, Nemec + Dawson makes sense but Nemec is a RHD and I'm a bit old school in that I don't like young players like him complaining about not being in the NHL (unless the reasons are absolutely legit which it sounds like it is not). I'm more intrigued by Silayev but he's further away from contributing which management might not like. I would imagine that the Canucks want Siegenthaler, but I'm not sure the Devils would be willing to part with him given that they're not really in a position to subtract from the left side without impact their Cup chances.
