Speculation: NJ desperate for a high end 3c/decent 2c

[absolute garbage]

...doubt Hughes trades Reinbacher before they see what they have in him...don't need another Sergachev moment...

I think it's actually a pretty good deal in terms of value, fit and everything else, but of course fans (and managements too) are hesitant to trade their top prospect.

...no one knows if it's value yet cuz Reinbacher hasn't played...give the kid a chance to play first before jettisoning him...

You don't know what "value" means.

...incorrect...just stating that trading on RHD that hasn't played yet for another RHD that's barely played just cuz one was drafted a few spots higher is not "value", it's foolishness...

In the context I was using the term "value", you didn't understand it, and still don't.

I didn't say it was "good value for x team". I said the deal is pretty good in terms of value, meaning the value of the assets involved. For both.

Please.

...and I am stating that it isn't because their value at this stage is still an unknown...at this moment, that would be moving deck chairs...that's not value...

Would NJ fans do Evans for Kovacevic?

I am guessing we are only moving picks and lower prospects/guys who are blocked. That limits what returns are but until this summer when we know about Kova and Dougie list July 1, I don't see Nemec being moved.
If a guy like Mercer is moved it's for a better version of him. We give up his potential to be better than player being brought in at a lower cap hit. Make the only reason a team might do it.

Ok.. we can eat some of Schenn’s contract. If we keep 2 mill a year will you include Nemac?

Or a 1st and a 3rd

And that's exactly why I said you don't know what "value" means.

"Unknownness" is obviously part of the value calculation. Why do you think draft picks have value?

Friedman said this week that NJ (along with Toronto and Ottawa) have interest in Mittelstadt.

What would NJ be willing to offer for him?
