Please stop lol. This is not close at all.

Somehow the Devils fans keep managing to make progressively worse deals for Brady. Just hurry up and make them for future considerations, so we can stop pretending you're serious

What you're offering for Tkachuk is not worth trading for any player in the league

Edit: I'm being hyperbolic but still, not worth it

Columbus accepts before you realize what you’ve done.

If the tenth overall pick, our second best prospect, and a really solid top 4 defenseman isn't enough, then nothing is. Which is fine; I really don't understand the obsession other Devils fans have with Brady

None of these pieces are of quality enough to start a Brady deal.

Start with a guy player like Dylan Guenther or equivalent that can play on our top line for the longest time

No, that's just a terrible offer.

Saros -- would have to be with extension to justify. If he were to go for $6m x 5, perhaps.

Brady -- A thirst that no one can quench

Rossi -- Maybe...but I think we would not for same reasons Minny is shopping him

Boqvist -- Heavens no. Siegs is on a great contract and is solid top-4 defensive dman.

A player that can play on your top line for the longest time: Berkly Catton

Nah. I’d only want a pick in the top 7 to get one of Lindstrom or Iginla to go along with Parekh

It’s more than Jack Eichel got

You may be right, but I can't think of any comparable trades. If you can come up with one I will stand down, but for now I think this is totally unrealistic

Marchenko and 4th overall is a type of deal that interests me .

Not this

Catton is up there with those two. Better than Iginla and comparable to Lindstrom in my mind

He’s very Marco Rossi like . Idk how that will age in the NHL

Rossi is awesome. I would love to have him.

You even know it’s not the same. Eichel is better than Brady but had a serious injury, and he was never going to play for Buffao again etc. Not even included Mercer at the least is just crazy. Im higher on him than most and hold his value close to Pintos.

AAAAHHHHH THE SNAKES THE SNAKES ARE SWALLOWING ME

I'm not sure if that's the sort of return Trotz would be looking for in a Saros trade, tho it's a very very nice one.

And I'd react to the Boqvist trade but the Jackets have already dialed up NHL Central Registry to get that one approved.

If CBJ is willing to put that on the table and you prefer it go ahead and take that imo.

I believe Mercer+10th+Marino, which I’m not sure I’d put on the table, is a comparable offer. But if a guy like Levshunov is available at that spot I think I’d prefer that CBJ package

Yeah it’s all about quality. Lindstrom/Levshunov + Marchenko is a lot more enticing

I think Mercer+10th overall could easily get you to 5th from MTL.

I’m not sure I’d offer Mercer+10th+Marino.

Leaves another hole to fill defensively right now and not a lot of assets and cap space left to fill them with.

Goalie, RD, LD, 2 bottom 6 wingers, 1 middle 6 winger would still be a neef

I think Mercer would be included. I also think a trade makes sense for neither team. We need the same things. 1 dman. (NJD LD, Ott RD), bottom 6 forwards, and a goalie.

1 final thing I want to say, Nemec should go nowhere near terrorist Travis green again. Travis Green’s 1st decision as head coach was to health bomb Nemec, who had been NJDs best dman up to that point. He also continuously played him with Siegenthaler in a pairing that did not work at all.

I dont blame you guys for wanting to keep Nemec. If he was on my team Id never trade him either.

And I would certainly feel the same about Brady Tkachuk. Unless he asks out, no point even discussing it.
