It's actually 3 goals and 16 points in 26 games (this season - which is trending to be his worst AHL season to date). So yeah, I retract my earlier initial reaction that this was a good haul for the Devils. I feel like a lot of teams could have come up with a return of roughly this quality at the deadline. There'd have been no major downside to taking more time on this.
