Janne Kuokkanen and Caronlina's 2nd is the return

His projection is third line center. Just what we needed....color me unimpressed.

He's been mostly playing wing this season, and is having a 2nd straight pretty good year in the AHL. He will give us some more size too, i believe he's 6.1. I dont mind it whatsoever for an injured rental.

we're better with a 30yr old Vats than a prospect that'll probably amount to nothing. But it's whatever. Our defense is gona be silly next year lol

Dobberprospects has a pretty nice write up on him and projects him as a second liner. He seems like he could be a legit player so you have to like that along with a pick (which hopefully stays a 2nd).

You dont know that. He's still only 21 and we also got a 2nd with him. It seems like we are in an actual rebuild now so keeping vats around doesn't make sense. Especially since he's going to be a UFA.

Why would either team want to do this?

He's going to push for a roster spot next season, if not get a chance at some point this season. But i'd prefer him to stay in the AHL and help Bingo on their playoff push

hope it all works out. I understand it's for an injured rental, but Sami is a decent mid-tier dman at a decent price for a playoff team. You just obviously want to get the best possible return.

Nothing concrete, but a rumor twitter who just reports news(not a fake account) said "the devils 'might' not be done yet, key word in MIGHT". So take it with a grain of salt, could just be complete BS

If the Devils / ownership are the enamored with Vats they can just resign him in the offseason. This is a major win for an injured player, on a team going nowhere, who will be a free agent at the end of the season.

I like Janne K and the 2nd round pick a lot more than watching Vats walk away for nothing. Gotta be happy adding talent.

The D is going to be a complete goat (frank)....

What else could we be moving? Wood? Subban?

Kevin Rooney for an 12th round pick?

John Hayden for a free car wash coupon?

Anyone know the conditions on the 2 from Carolina? I know it's tied to Vats's health, but is it likely to drop?

Actually havent seen anything on conditions other than a vague report from McKenzie saying it was tied to his health

There we go, Friedman just said its a 4th that can become a 3rd, pending amount of games played. So no 2nd i guess. Much worse than a 2nd....

Vatanen return from CAR to NJ is Claesson, Janne Kuokkanen and a conditional 4th (can move up to a third, pending Vatanen games played) #SNTrade

Thanks. Woof. That quickly went from decent enough to pretty underwhelming

What were you expecting for an injured defenseman? I don't really understand.
