    If the Devils suck again next year, does Quinn even want to go there? His production is much higher since the trade than it had been with Canucks earlier this season. Why end up in another Canucks situation 

    because he wants to play with his brothers.  there was no other reason to go to jersey before or after.

    Because he's overseen them go from 14 wins to the top of the East in 2 years

    i think that has to do with cade and firing monty williams.  trajan can take credit for replacing monty, but the cade thing is due to health.

    bringing in beasley last year was a plus.  duncan has turned out ok so far (although i think he'll get beasley'd in the playoffs), lavert has sucked.  holland hasnt been anything great.

    the pistons going from the worst team ever to good was due to internal growth and minor edge tinkering.  now comes the hard part, moving from good to a contender.  i dont think the pistons are there yet.

    heurter aint gonna do it, but lets see if there is another shoe to drop.

    There is one way to package Huerter with others for a bigger deal.  Don't report the trade to the league.

    All three teams agree to the trade, then don't report it to the league.  It would give the Pistons a day or two to work on a bigger trade.  For example, they add Brooklyn to the deal as a fourth team but instead of Huerter going to Detroit, he goes to Brooklyn plus LeVert and picks from Detroit for MPJ.  

    If Detroit can't work out a larger deal, the three teams just turn in the original trade to the league right before the deadline on Thursday.

    I'm not saying that is what is happening here.  Just saying it is  a possibility.  

     

    i think they want heurter because he can shoot.

    saric is the deal i dont understand.  you HAD to take saric in order to move the former #5 pick in the draft for a 3 point shooter who plays no defense?

    but that's the other twist here. Lets say the Devils look like they aren't going to be very good going forward and you are the team that signs Quinn to a 6 or 7 yr deal. Is he then going to spend all his energy lobbying you to bring in his bros from NJ as their contracts expire? Is that going to be good for your team? Are you going to do it even if if isn't to keep your star happy?  

    It's all speculation but it's just another thing that needs to at least be in the back of your mind if you decide to deal with a guy with siblings in the league who has already said he wants to play with them.

    jack hughes might have the best contract in hockey.  luke hughes just signed a 7 year deal this year.  neither of those two are going anywhere.  which hughes brother is out of contract after next season?  THAT'S the hughes brother who is moving.

    all this assumes a lot, like the fact they ACTUALLY WANT to play together.  they might not.  lots can happen in 2 years.  maybe the wings draft the next hughes brother and quinn decides he wants to play with him?  we dont know.

    from their public statements, it would seem quinn is bound for jersey, but you never know.  i remember when johnny gaudreau definitely wanted to play on the east coast and then signed in columbus.  now, i know hockey players arent geography majors, but c-bus isnt a hop, skip, or jump from the atlantic ocean.  otoh, gavrikov was "always ticketed to ny" and ended up signing with the rangers.  rasmus anderson "only wanted to play in vegas" and was traded to vegas.

    Pistons had 15 players on the roster before the trade.  1 out 2 in means someone on the roster has to be cut.  I would guess it will be Isaac Jones.  That brings the roster back to 15 players.  Then if/when they sign Jenkins to his NBA deal, they will have to create another roster spot for him.  I imagine Saric would then be cut to make room for Jenkins.  

    why trade for saric at all?

    So Saric was a separate deal and they used part of their TPE.  Just to cut him.  OK

     

     

    they must be looking to make another deal.  

    as much as ivey may be shooting well this year, huerter is a better pure shooter historically.

    i know the pistons need shooting but this cant be the best they could do?  it looks like most of us who placed any real value on ivey were wrong, maybe were placing too much value on holland and ausar too?  especially holland.

    help us troy weaver and joe dumars, youre our only hope of fleecing someone this year.

    My hypothetical was a complete joke, I figured Rasmussen's inclusion would make it too obvious!

    I'd rather keep Danielson over Kasper but I'm sure the Blues would feel the opposite.  I'd give up a lot for Thomas though, 26 years old with 5 more years on his deal after this season.

    i know it was a joke.  😉

    i do think the wings have enough to at least make st louis think about it.  i dont think yzerman would give up that much.

    Never ever said that.  Edvinsson is really good now and going to be great.  I think Stevie made a mistake valuing him over Hughes who is a generational defenseman (and much, much better defender than you give him credit).

    i think youre underestimating three things:

    edvinsson's ceiling, hughes' free agent status in a year, and hughes' desire to play with his brothers, all of whom play in new jersey.

    Hmmm.  We don't have the roster space to make this happen, so someone is getting cut.  Then I imagine Saric gets cut after that to make room for Jenkins.  

    Not exactly sure how this works cap wise either.  Ivey is about $10 million while Huerter is $17 million plus Saric at $5 million.  We don't have cap space to do that.  

    must be another move coming.

    soooo....do we get harden now?  lol.

    on the topic of edvinsson, i think he is going to be as good or better than seider.  he's taller and more mobile.  i see those two developing into the best pair in the nhl.

    hughes is a special offensive talent, i get it.  but i think edvinsson is going to be a special DEFENSEman.

    It was just a pick swap, so no extra pick for Detroit.

    even worse then.

    heurter is "just a shooter" even more than robinson is.  he's been awful with the bulls.  this is a total dump of ivey.

    ivey had zero value and this is the best you could get for him.  also tells me they had no desire to keep him for next year and wanted that salary hold off the books.

    ASP looked good last night..as did Ras and Elmer.  Played with a lot of jam..Avs had a very difficult time in the neutral zone

    If I could get two guys off  bad teams it would be Kevin Bahl from Calgary and Thomas from the Blues.

    Although Gavrikov and Panarin from the Rangers would be cool too

    there is a lot of smoke with them and panarin.  not sure how the lines would work with that.  and he's another small forward on a team whose best players are all small forwards.
