Confirmed Trade: [NJD/PIT] Cody Glass, Jonathan Gruden for Chase Stillman, Max Graham, 2027 3rd round pick

Nemec spent time in the minors...

[Big McLargehuge]

His asset management and his hires as hockey ops has been absolutely on f***ing point.

Now if he can fire that f***ing wanker Sullivan at the end of the season, I'll get a Kyle Dubas tattoo on my ass cheek.

It'll complement the Roy Orbison tattoo on the other cheek well.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Move over, Friedman

Friedman sucks bollocks, all hail BHD

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

So to recap, Trotz paid the Pens a 3rd+6th to take him, then six months later he's worth a 3rd.

Another Barry masterclass!

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I'm one of the last people who thinks that Cody Glass could do something neat in the right situation.

 

[BHD]

Agreed, however this is the easy part. Signing/acquiring depth players and selling them today to the highest bidder essentially can be done on autopilot.

It’s the next steps ie identifying talent and not overpaying guys that are worrisome.

I'm curious to see what Dubas does with all these picks. Does he keep them to build the organization back up or does he move them for another short-term fix?

 

[Brodeur]

I would have wagered a lot of money circa 2018 on Glass being a solid #2 center by now. Caught him a couple times in the WHL when he was with Portland.

When the Devils won the 2017 lottery, we moved from #5 to #1. That was back when the lottery was moved to after the U18s for TV reasons but it annoyed scouts since they would have focused on other guys depending on the results.

In particular, our head scout Paul Castron went out of his way to name drop Cody Glass almost as if he wanted to say he spent a lot of time scouting him thinking we'd be drafting around #5.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Glass is basically Nick Spaling with top 10 draft pick pedigree. Not the worst player, but he kind of just exists.

The fact that the Pens were basically paid to take him and got a third back for him is awesome. Trotz has been a great GM for Pittsburgh.

That sounds like Hextall circa 2021

 

[Michael Farkas]

I'm fine with this regardless of the return. It was a free spin. He has talent, but too many plays die with him. I wonder about his mental processor. He means well, but he just isn't quite what I'd be looking for. He could use a bit of a game re-imaging to attract lucrative NHL deals in the future I'd think...

 

[SomeDude]

I'm curious to see what Dubas does with all these picks. Does he keep them to build the organization back up or does he move them for another short-term fix?

He’s already said he plans on using some of them for young players. Guessing more reclamation projects this summer. Peterka’s name has been out there for a few weeks. He may want paid more than Buffalo can stomach.

I have major reservations about trusting him to build a roster capable of winning from scratch. We shall see.

This deadline fed sellers for a couple years

Anyone that leaves the clutches of Sullivan usually does well by just not being used in an idiotic way like Sullivan loves to.

BUT WHAT YEAR IS THE PICK!! I NEED TO KNOW

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I'm curious to see what Dubas does with all these picks. Does he keep them to build the organization back up or does he move them for another short-term fix?

He's already taken the 27th ranked prospect pool last year to being 20th ranked. He has enough draft capital to push it up more. He now just needs to fire Sullivan, hire a coach that actually understands development and using youth like how the Capitals did with their retool and he's set.

If he keeps Sullivan, it's all for nothing.

It's either the Vegas third or theirs next year. Or maybe a 3rd in 2029.

A third in thirdy-thirdy

 

[Michoulicious]

WTF is Fitzgerald doing

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Devils needed to add a center badly, fine price to pay if Glass is at least strong defensively. Hoping to read more about how stupid Dubas is for giving him up, get in here Toronto fans!

 

[bleuetbio]

Damm... and that was NJ moves today. Good luck with that

 

[Extra Texture]

So Dubas has turned Desharnis, Glass, Beauvillier and Schenn around for a 5th, 3rd and two 2nds. For a bunch of guys that were basically trade throwins or one year wonders, that’s fantastic so far.

 

[uncleben]

How has this not been resolved yet?

 

[Forge]

What they did was too much

 

[Eggtimers]

Lose Jack Hughes , Hamilton , Seigenthaler to injury .

Replace that with Cody Glass and Sprong ( currently in the AHL) .

Spend additional assets on Doumilin for ANA to retain salary … so Fitz can use over 12 mil cap space on … Cody Glass and AHL Sprong … gotcha . Good job Fitz !
Extended Kovy so we have 2335 RHD next year but have zero C depth and a league-worst bottom 6 forward group . Excellent roster management right there.

I’m so excited to try to squeeze into the playoffs and fight off the Jackets / Sens/Habs / Rangers / Redwings while having Haula as our #2C . He has zero points since November and does absolutely nothing if he isn’t scoring . He is useless . Along with Tatar , Dowling , Bastian , Mercer , Palat .
But hey ! We added Glass and Sprong ! Thanks Fitz ! He should have sold at the deadline instead if this shit pile of acquisitions .
