I’d assume they’d want Boldy which would be a no-go for the fans and BG. Maybe Wally + a salary dump player + prospects / picks? Don’t know if that gets it done

  2. I can’t imagine this gets done without impact player(s) going back to the devils. Wally, picks and prospects doesn’t equal “hockey trade”

  3. I don’t see a trade fit unless NJ way overvalues guys like Yurov and Wally tbh. We used up all of our assets for the better Hughes

  4. If they want Boldy hell no. He’s worth more than Jack to us simply because he stays healthy.

    Wallstedt +Brodin (as a salary dump) and prospects could get it done. Not huge on losing either but to get Jack Hughes you have to give up quite a bit

  5. I mean I’d say it’s really not likely. It would have to be Wally, Stramel, a top 6 forward such as Boldy, and a couple firsts. There’s no way they trade Hughes without a haul. I think Guerin would say “no”.

  6. This doesn’t seem like a Jack Hughes signal. A “hockey trade” is typically a 1 for 1 between NHL players isn’t it?

    Trading Jack Hughes would be blowing everything up and committing to rebuild, not “send a message”

  8. The Devils have a number of players who play significant minutes that they would trade before Jack Hughes. Jesper Bratt, Dawson Mercer, Timo Meier, Dougie Hamilton – hell, they’d probably rather trade Nico Hischier over Hughes.

    Regarding any package for Hughes and the Devils, they already have Markstrom – an Olympian who got more playing time over Wallstedt, I don’t know why they’d be interested in that.

    Not trying to deliberately shit on you OP, sorry, but I don’t see how this works.

    Everyone can laugh at me when I’m proven wrong tho, no worries

  9. I also mentioned in a previous post that Jack and Quinn on the same team would be an upgraded Sedin twins.

  10. I did find it odd that the devils scratched him the last couple games before the Olympics seemingly for health, then in Milan practices was said, full go, no limitations.

    If it does happen right out of the Olympics, NJ must have wanted to reduce risk of an injury.

  11. It seems basically impossible for the Wild to trade for Jack Hughes.

    I think the Devils will trade him elsewhere so they aren’t hamstrung by his desire to team up with Quinn

  14. Sending a message is NOT trading a franchise cornerstone. I interpret it as perhaps Timo Meier getting moved, as he has lots of value right now. 

  15. I worry about trading Wallstedt at this time. I feel like Gus Bus is having a down year, and I’m not sure how he would fare in the playoffs alone.

  21. I really don’t want to but we will give up Ben Jones, Tyler Pitlick, and a fifth round pick for Jack. It’s really fucking us over though and NJ should be jumping at the chance.

  23. It would take Boldy or Faber + Wally and maybe more.

    Not happening. We are not making this team worse for J. Hughes.

  24. How did you get “I think the Devils are looking to trade Jack Hughes” out of that tweet?
