Looking Back at The Trade Deadline in Retrospect...Did The New Jersey Devils Make The Right Moves?

The expansion draft is tonight, and I thought I give a little recap in terms of available players from the New Jersey Devils roster. We're not one of the most stacked teams in the NHL in terms of exposed players, but we do have some diamond in the roughs available. The question is: how far can you push that said player? Obviously, everything is going to be a chess move for Seattle. Who will be heading to Seattle? Subban, Merkley, Wedgewood, Butcher, or Bastian?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

The Devils have assets, money, and prospects. That means they have a bright future for the free agency period. However, they must first conquer the expansion and entry level draft. There's a lot of options to pick and choose from in terms of all of those respective categories. So, Neil (Devils State of Mind Podcast) is here to help me dissect all of those things. Similar to me, he has a great amount of opinions and hot takes.Check out The Devils State of Mind PodcastFollow Neil on Twitter: @thenvpshowSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

The New Jersey Devils have traded Mikhail Maltsev and a 2021 2nd round draft pick in exchange for Ryan Graves. Graves is a young LHD with a lot upside. This trade will also help the Devils in the expansion draft, since they can now expose Subban without the fear of being $25 million away from the cap floor. Graves can help out in the penalty kill and he also provides a big body frame for our defensive unit. Hopefully he can fit in well with Lindy Ruff's system.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Matthew Tkachuk might still possibly wants out of Calgary. So, I decided to have a crossover with Jessica Belmosto (Locked On Flames) to do a silly season discussion. Similar to the Locked On Leafs/Morgan Rielly episode that I did with Michael last week, this a role play episode. In which Jessica and I will act like both of our team's respective general managers. I will throw a few offers her way, and she will decide if it's worth the risk or not. This trade scenario is unique because due to financial troubles for Calgary this will have to be sort of a salary dump.Follow Jessica on Twitter: @jessbelmostoSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

I guess my silly season discussions are catching on like a wild fire. Because I recently heard a story involving an Instagram account (@pucksempire) posting some "interesting" takes. One of which involved Mackenzie Blackwood potentially being shopped around by the Devils. However, it does raise the question as to whether or not the Devils should maybe explore the open market involving Blackwood.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

The Devils will have a new CEO starting on August 3rd. Tad Brown was named the new CEO for HBSE, after previously working with the Houston Rockets organization (NBA). Obviously, he will also oversee the Philadelphia 76ers and Prudential Center as well. So, while the Devils might not be his top priority, given his track history, there's still some things to be excited for. Maybe the Devils can host an all-star game?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

Michael Distefano (Locked on Leafs) and I still have a lot more ground to cover in terms of silly season. It seems as though that I have become drunk with power as far with silly season scenarios, so can Michael sober me up? Also, he tries to make his piece in terms of how far behind the Devils are in terms of their respective rebuild, I personally don't agree with him. And lastly, I make my pitch in terms of how good Miles Wood really is.Follow Michael on Twitter: @mickey_canuckSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

Michael Distefano (Locked On Leafs) and I are going to reminisce over the 2021 NHL season. This includes discussing the Leafs' blowing a 3-1 to the Montreal Canadiens and discussing the Anderson for Johnsson trade. Also, we are going to revisit a past silly season discussion which involves Morgan Rielly and him potentially coming to the Devils. I will provide my perspective on the whole ordeal with Michael and he will have the chance to rebuttal. This is going to be interesting.Follow Michael on Twitter: @mickey_canuckSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
