If it pans out they'll come out of this looking pretty good.
Meanwhile TT probably moves on from the Devils next summer with a Meier extension by Jersey, and since they'll hang on to him for their playoff run, possibly for nothing.
Sometimes the good/right thing isn't exciting on day 1. The instant gratification route hasn't got us anywhere though.

Great post, good player but NJ needed to lean on experience in the playoffs, they are doing the kid a favor trading him. Calgary on he other hand needs to get younger and faster. They have room to give him more opportunities as he develops into his role.
