No-brainer for the Devils. Second-pairing defenceman on a fair contract and all it took was a fifth? As sureLoss and others noted, you can likely swing him for at least a second at the trade deadline if you are in a seller's position, and you'll need him in the playoffs if that's the spot you find yourself in.
What a strange trade with no guarantee of hitting on one of the big UFAs.
