man, those sweaters were trash. wtf were they thinking?

 

[HighLifeMan]

Seems like a rather short sighted (and bad) move for the Devils considering their injuries.

 

[gdsmack267]

So They lose hughes and go full tank mode

 

[Unholy]

Nice return it sounds like. Enjoyed his time with Anaheim, especially at the start of the season when he was paired with Mintyukov. Plays pretty calm and sound

 

[Stealth JD]

Herman Traff and a 2nd to Anaheim

Not really... they're buying.

 

[Bone Density]

solid return for Anaheim

 

[goonybird]

actually f***ing stupid by fitz

 

[HoliksGhost]

Devils are down 2 defensemen. Gotta do whatcha gotta do.

It was a joke because Dumo is not good

 

[SladeWilson23]

I legit forgot he was still in the league.

 

[HBK27]

Don't like this at all for NJ.

 

[Benstheman]

Sellers market and weak upcoming draft

It was a joke because Dumo is not good

He’s not bad either. Steady and reliable. Does Nothing to great nothing to poor.

Would have been happy with a 2nd OR Traff...to get both is a great trade for Verbeek.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Was hoping for a 3rd but 2nd is great

Paid a 4th to get him

Flipped him for a 2nd

They’re down 2 defensive starters

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Devs paying that price for a rental is, well, interesting

 

[bossram]

Good lord Fitz.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Traff is a legit prospect (although with more of a bottom six profile from the sounds of it) and more than just a toss in. Good business here by Verbeek. Dumoulin is a solid 4/5 guy for a stretch run, should be a steadying presence. Hope it turns out well for him

[TheStuntman]

Is he still good? I know he used to be rock solid, but that was a while ago.

He was very solid and a steadying veteran presence for a young team. A good solid bottom pairing d-man for playoff caliber teams. Whether that's worth a 2nd and a prospect, that's for debate.

EDIT: Should've said 4/5 guy, but not a 6th dman.

 

[HighLifeMan]

I get that, but without Hughes, what's the point of wasting some relatively decent assets to try and limp into the playoffs?

 

[Devilsfan118]

I don't understand this move for the Devils tbh, they have enough middle-to-bottom 6 type defenseman, even with Siegs and now Dougie injured.

Roll with Nemec, Casey...
