Devils say no. DD is not worth stunting the development of the younger guys

 

[Treb]

To New Jersey:
David Desharnais
2018 3rd round pick

To Montreal:
2017 4th round pick

I'd keep the 3rd pick. Not giving assets to get rid of DD to give assets again to get a 3C.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Thank you, however, not interested.

Why not - how long is his contract

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Why not - how long is his contract

Only through 2016-17.

I'd only make a move to acquire Desharnais if we've made it through camp and Zacha's looking like a winger, Elias isn't an option, and no one else made a huge case for the 3C spot.

As it stands, I'd expect our third line to be Elias/Zacha-Zacha/Elias-DSP.

If the Devils were to take on DD his contract, I would at least expect to see Josefson going to Montreal. In the other thread, I saw a trade proposed that I think I would do as a Devils fan
Scarlett + Josefson
For
DD + Juulsen

Why not - how long is his contract

Just one more season at 3,5 million.

As a 3rd line centre with some offensive instincts or spare 2nd line centrer in case of injury, he could be fine. In Montreal we have too many smallish players and too many centermen.

And he is a good buddy of DSP....

I think New Jersey should do this.

I don't think we would. The downgrade of Juulsen to Scarlett isn't worth the Josefson/DD switch. I'd also prefer to get a LHD if we trade Juulsen.

How about change Scarlett to Jon Merrill?

So it would be:
Juulsen + Desharnais
for
Merrill + Josefson

I'd think long and hard about it, but we would have to make some moves on the back end or send two of Barberio/Redmond/Pateryn down.

Also scared that trading Juulsen comes back biting us later on.

Dont see why we dont do it then.

Let Zacha play 1RW with Hall-Henrique and have Bennett fight for a spot

That's a fair deal. I don't know though. Trading Juulsen, in the long run, might be a dumb move but if this deal would happen I wouldnt be against it.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

again, not interested.

Tanking and spending as little as possible while doing it seems to be the goal of the Devils, adding DD is contrary to that.

Not sure where you derive the "tanking" part of your post... ?

 

[DanteDevilsHockey]

If this trade would happen DD would most likely slot in at 3C behind Henrique and Zajac. However, most Devils fans including myself have their heart set upon seeing our undisputed top prospect, Pavel Zacha, start the year at our 3C and potentially moving his way up fulfilling our expectation of elite or even top 6 status in the NHL. A player like DD would stunt the growth of the youth. Not interested at all.

 

[jacks*]

To New Jersey:
David Desharnais
2018 3rd round pick

To Montreal:
2017 4th round pick

Now why would the Habs do that.
What a bad proposal.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Montreal doesn't need to pay someone to dump him... very manageable 1 year left on his contract, and he can still play decent NHL hockey especially if he is in a more limited role. Don't listen to deranged Habs fans who act like this guy is just a big drag on the team, that's ridiculous.

That way he can learn how to be a top-6 center while playing on the wings. Apparently to Michel Therrien and his supporters, that's how Galchenyuk became who he is today.

Michel Therrien is a NHL coach so he knows best! Put Zacha on the 3rd line wings!

 

[Eric Sachs]

To New Jersey:
David Desharnais
2018 3rd round pick

To Montreal:
2017 4th round pick

A 2018 3rd is roughly worth a 2017 4th. A rough gauge of value is to add a round for every subsequent year.

why are we taking DD for this?

Your not because the Habs wouldn't offer it.

What younger guys?
I know NJD has a great D property pipeline but don't you have one of the worst crop of forward prospects in the league?

 

[Anksun]

Montreal is easily under the cap and Desharnais has only 1 year remaining... Mtl isnt paying to move him.
