Zykov, Erne, Klimchuk all good wingers still on the board.

Bottom of the barrel for scoring.

Gonna have to get creative in Free Agency to get someone to come to NJ.

Need someone to put the puck in the net.

Still haven't filled the void vacated by Parise. Now another (although far less in size) void from Clarkson. Still haven't signed Elias.

But they have Schneider.....

Was ric flairin all the way out of the rock after that trade!! WOOOOOO

Yeah that just takes all the wind out of your sails. You're talking about the new player you're going to get for months, all excited...

then the pick gets traded. But yes, we robbed Schneider from Vancouver. Sorry.

I mean it caught everyone completely off guard. With the devils saying they like Shinkurk and Nurse and then this. I love that we get Schneider. We need to find some picks though.. Kind of funny Lou made Gillies swear he wouldnt tell anyone when they made the deal Sat night.

I love this trade as long as Valeri Nichushkin doesn't become the next Ovechkin...

Yeah hopefully not...

Probably because the fans wouldn't have bothered showing up :D

Who wants to sit for three hours for a pick you don't make?

Anyway, it's all in all a good deal. He's a world class goaltender, hopefully has better playoff years ahead of him.

As for free agency... yeah... I'm weary about it.

Although I am happy we received Cory. Im disappointed we have not addressed our scoring needs. Hopefully that changed on July 5th.

We're doomed and will lose Schneider to free agency :-(. But u never know

Not for nothing, but Boucher isn't far away.. And he is a goal scorer lol. He'd be a top 10 pick if drafted this year.

I guess we get Ryder. Meh.

I know, but I'd love to keep Reid in the AHL for a season, it really helps with the development. I am excited for him to wear the Devils jersey next year though.

I agree. Also Merrill too, don't push them, let them learn the system not play Mateau minutes his rookie year.

Lets get someone good this pick

Gillis, Kesler, and Bieksa will all be shown on television now, claiming that NJ cheated and the trade wasn't fair. Canucks fans will all claim that Rhett liked Luongo more anyway. canucks are the new "Mickey mouse organization"

Man, I would die a happy man right now if Devils select Fucale, then trade him to Van for Shinkaruk.

Edit.. Damnit Habs. FU. You have price =/

Edit: Another trade lol. Picked up an extra pick. Solid.

Damn I'm sort of glad I didn't go to the draft...really making the fans wait on seeing a pick

I left shortly after the Schneider trade it's like watching grass grow.

Hopefully they pick up Cammarata with that 3rd rounder now

I doubt that...He is 2 years older.

I think Zykov was the guy they wanted and when he was taken they traded down

not sure if i like this pick, shut down dman, would have gone for a forward or a puck moving dman

BPA I guess

Lou getting more draft picks. Something we've predicted.

Love that. Not sure if passing on Petan is going to turn out to have been a good idea though...I know he's small but so is P.Kane, Eberle, and more. Plus he's getting compared to Zetterberg. Time will only tell.

He's as small if not smaller than Tedenby though. Risky pick

Santini seems to be a very safe pick.
