Devils looking for a LD and also some grit/size in their top 6 or top 9.
Xhekaj, Anderson, Avs 2nd
for
10th OA and Palat.
Both Palat and Anderson have 3 years left and Devils were rumored to want Anderson. Yeah, he had a bad season but so did Dubois and the Caps still believe in him.
Xhekaj and Anderson would bring in some size/grit and I think that's what the Devils GM is after. Not sure I would do this but walking away from this draft with both Demidov and one of Iggy/Catton/Sennecke/Eiserman is a good takeaway that balances out our depth charts very well.
Loosing Xhekaj would suck though. But the D group is still sound. It's kind of like the Romanov trade and remember, Xhekaj was a Bergevin add like Romanov. Who knows how much faith Hughes/Gorton have in him. I know I like his grit/size impact a lot but I also like a deep top 6/top 9 too.
