I love it, great trade.
More happy as it'll hopefully ensure a better pic next year. Plus gives Wolf a lot more playing time. Have to start developing him in the NHL.
The return seems underwhelming when thinking a top 10 pic was in play, which would have been amazing. IMO Devils GM would have to be stupid with the projected talent 10 and under, to do that for just 2 years of Markstrom in his mid 30s. Been super happy with the work Conroy has done since taking over. Don't spend that cap $, grow from the draft and let's get back to building a strong team for the new building! Hopefully not wishful thinking.
Even harder to maximize the return if the report is true and Markstrom only wanted to go to NJ.
