Confirmed with Link: Kovacevic Traded to the Devils for 2026 4th Round pick (Highest of the three 4th Rounders the Devils own)

[Gravity]

Struble stays. Harris can GTFO

 

[ArtPeur]

The Dominos are falling

I am mad, I really liked Kovacevic.

I guess we are not trading Savard.

The Devils traded Marino to make space for Kovacevic.

Did they really need another bottom pair RD thought?

i was hoping for a third fire hughes

A 4th in 2026, couldn't make it a 2025 pick? Major L for HuGo.

 

[Vachon23]

Good move

Trading a guy we got on the waivers and that was clearly not in the plans anymore for value

 

[Tuggy]

4th is fine and seems like fair value.

Gotta clear the logjam somehow.

We got him for free, good trade.

 

[Whitesnake]

I'd like to thank Kent for making the conditions easy to follow.

 

[overlords]

I expected a 3rd but I guess HuGo can have a bit of slack, this one time.

We have 100 pick in 2025, make sense to put it in 2026

Kovacevic seems like a cool guy. Hopefully he does well in his new chapter

Value? 4th rounder is nothing

 

[BergevinBurner]

Does Hughes know our logjam is on the left side?

 

[Andrei79]

Good for everyone involved. I thought he was a fairly bad to mediocre player, but decent enough depth. Can't say I care much though one way or the other.

I am mad, I really liked Kovacevic.

Me too. Played better all-in-all in comparison to Harris or Struble.

 

[HabbyGuy]

The return is inconsequential, it was all about making room. We got a 4th for a waiver pick up. All is good with me.

 

[bleuetbio]

It appears we dont need depth anymore

 

[MarkJ]

a nice fourth rounder where we still won't draft a Québécois! Sorry JiC!

They have 12 picks in 2025, if anything they need to trade some to upgrade others.
