What if Devils opened more options for trade partners to playoff teams by signing Kovy to say 7 mil and retain half salary? We have lots of space and would get a bigger return I would think. The. Cash strapped teams would even have a look

It's a possibility, but (and this is purely speculation) I get the sense that Shero wouldn't be a fan of that. Personally I'm ok with it, but I wouldn't do it lightly. It's a situation where you keep that card in your back pocket unless you absolutely have to play it.

I'd say Shero is probably asking at least a 2nd and A dman plus possibly a prospect? So many variables! It could be a late 1st? Who knows but he's not the same guy that left the nhl, but he can still possibly be a game changer? And he's built like a tank! And it probably won't happen til after the expansion draft imho

who is the better player/prospect : Carrick or Nielsen ?

Todd What's the deal with that nikita korostelev guy ? He is going through the draft again but has he not been a pretty effective player ? I have heard something about scouts saying he skates funny ? He has some history with Zacha ( not sure if they where linemates )

He's going through the draft again? how? Wasn't he drafted by Toronto in like the 4th round or something in 2015?
