Confirmed with Link: Nemec going, going, gone…to Calgary (for two future firsts and a second rounder)

[Devs3cups]

So we now have 3 picks in the first 45 picks. I like that.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Need some time to digest this, is it good or meh.

Value-wise, it's pretty good imo. But I'm meh on it right now because late 1st round picks is not what we need. But I'm hoping it's just more assets for trades that are coming

 

[thebeernerd]

I'm liking this more and more I think about it. Calgary gave up quite a haul of picks.

Future draft picks can be traded for other players...

I kind of hope we keep this year’s picks just to make Friday and Saturday more interesting lol

 

[vtdevils2k]

Is this setting up for a big acquisition?

I mean we have all of our first round picks and now Vegas's in 2027 and Colorado's 2028 (top 10 protected) right?

That is a lot of ammo to get a big fish you'd think.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Gotta move out cap space before we can make other deals. This seems like a precursor. Trade Markstrom for a 7th round pick and let's start rolling

 

[MasterofGrond]

We got paid to not have to pay Nemec. Maybe that bites us in the ass, but I don't think it will

 

[MasterofGrond]

pity we couldn't get Marky included in this, though

 

[Rebel Devil]

Boy do the Devils hate Simon.

 

[Billdo]

Adding Tsyplakov in there is a nice bit of business. The Rangers 2nd is a nice add, I would be floored if we ever make a selection with either of the firsts. They're going to be dealt IMO.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

This is a trade you make when you decide there's no room for Simon Nemec in your team's future, especially at what 2nd overall picks get paid in their career. Sad to see how this all played out. I liked him, think he's got the ability to become an impact NHLer but get the move.

 

[Forge]

So Morin is a bit of a nothing burger, I take it?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Sunny has a lot of ammo to play with.

 

[ScottyK]

We can trade 3 firsts, still pick 35th friday and still have 1st rd picks ( our own or otherwise ) in 27 and 28.

This opens up so many possibilities. Sunny gonna cook

 

[Devils Trap]

He is actually a good ish prospect but had a bad year

 

[It Takes 2 To Tango]

Tells you all you need to know. Sunny will be player hunting with the new influx of draft capital. Still needs to move some money out if he can cough Markstrom cough

 

[Homedresser]

SUNNY

guys on here are going to love this deal. they love picks. even if their garbage late 1st rounders.

 

[Killing Joke]

Meh picks for a meh player.

Don't keep them and send them off to make the team better.

 

[Bleedred]

Nice

Now we don’t even need to buyout the cost of doing business in dumping Palat.

 

[MasterofGrond]

I was a Nemec guy from the very start and I am sad it didn't work out

but it didn't work out and it wasn't going to and hope he does well in the land of misfit ex-Devils

the draft capital is meh. these are not quality 1st rounders.

Like the garbage ones Florida used to acquire Brady Tkachuk?

Got all of Palat's money off the team now, and we suddenly have a lot of draft capital.

 

[Rebel Devil]

Perhaps Sunny found some players he liked better from other teams. Hopefully another deal or two are forthcoming.

The organization has not had a good track developing high end 1st rounders recently.
