Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils Acquire Alexei Ponikarovsky From Winnipeg Jets

Like it. Replaces Zubrus now and allows matteau to get sent down for more development.

Zubrus is out 2-8 weeks, Lou said it is because of this he made the trade. Not sure where Poni goes, could be on the top line or with Josefson and Butler.

Great move. Poni was great with us second half of last year and in the playoffs. Who can forget Flyers game 3 OT

I have Kovy in my pool, this better get him going, I need to make up some ground

Wonder what our lines will look like?

Butler/Poni-Zaj-Kovy
Elias-Henrique-Clarky
JJ-Lokti-Poni/Butler
Carter-Gio-Berner?

Great news for the Devils - especially for such low draft pick! Does anyone know how long the contract he signed with the Jets (us) was for? Was it a 1 year deal only?

One year.

It's a 1 year 1.8 mill deal. I wonder how many draft picks we have for this years draft now?

If I was on a computer, I would already have put up the OT goal. Someone do it for me?

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th?

He's been going pretty well the last few games.

Poni played real well with us last year so I'm really glad to get him back.

The fourth was 2014. So we don't have our 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Zidlicky, Lokti, and Poni, respectively.

Lou shipping all of those odd number picks so that means we're forfeiting our 1st this year.

I was thinking yesterday it would be funny if we traded for him, I was sad to see him go.

Time to trade for Parise I guess.

He's been producing pretty good lately

don't see lou giving up the 2013 draft pick. the draft is in the rock plus the so called experts have said the 2013 draft is the best in 15 years. if its one thing lou knows better than most is the value of late round draft picks, so he must think there is much in the 2014 draft?

If I were him I would wait until I was forced to give it up


Maybe Gary forgot?

Solid trade.

Butler - Zajac - Kovy
Elias - Henrique - Clarkson
Poni - JJ - Barch/Matteau
Carter - Gio - Bernier

Poni with Kovy could work out, I recall them playing on the same line for a large part of the playoffs.

Obligatory Henrique OT goal video, yet again, I'm not on a computer.

He can't be sent down, he's too young for the AHL. A weird loophole but he has to be on the NHL squad

Sent down to juniors is what I think he meant.
