LTS Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Need three desperate teams to make the push for 2 players to get a good return. Are there 3 desperate teams? Desperation levels change as opponents sign assets. I think the Devils signing Grabner puts pressure on the Islanders to get a goalie and shore up their goals against issue or kiss the playoffs good bye. If the Isles make a move then Columbus feels the pressure. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Caps are all close and 4-5 points ahead of New Jersey... but is it enough? That's just the Eastern Conference.

Taro T Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 First time in NHL history that the Rangers and Devils have made a trade with each other. Wow. Technically true, though the franchises had a MAJOR trade earlier in their history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Technically true, though the franchises had a MAJOR trade earlier in their history. That must have happened when the Devils were not even a glimmer in the eyes of NJ hockey fans, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 That must have happened when the Devils were not even a glimmer in the eyes of NJ hockey fans, right? Yep. Wayne Gretzky was only a non-Calder eligible 1st year back when the trade went down. He probably didn't even consider the weaker club a Mickey Mouse organization yet. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Ok what are we talking about here? Trade of a 2nd overall draft pick that was expected to be a franchise savior that actually helped carry that team to its 1st ever playoffs in his rookie year. Though he wasn't able to build on that team performance-wise he continued to play well & was expected to eventually be in the running as the best in the league at his position. He continued to play well for the new team but definitely did not live up to their expectations. Edited February 23, 2018 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabills Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 This Karlsson trade could get wacky. Travis Yost is saying OTT and TBL may be trying to involve 4 teams in a single trade (OTT,TBL, and two others), probably as a way to hide that Bobby Ryan contract.
