Thread: Hughes Tkachuk Ullmark
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Quinn - Unlikely to be an option. Would be fun, but they ain’t selling and we are spending elsewhere. (Return would be massive)

Ullmark - Devils on his no trade list. And he is in a contract year, so isn’t likely to waive unless we overpay on extension. If Devils overpay on extension, they won’t want to pay on trade price. If Devils underpay on trade price, Boston won’t want to trade. See where I am going? Ullmark to NJD also ain’t happening.

Brady - See comps like Eichel, Meier, Nash…would be one good player (Mercer, Marino), one good prospect (Holtz, Casey), a top-10 protected 1st and a conditional mid pick based on results.</div></div>

So you're saying the following would be a trade package for Tkachuk?

Marino, Holtz, 2025 1st Rounder (Top-10 protected -&gt; 2026 1st rounder), &amp; 2024 3rd rounder.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Traptor</b></div><div>His play was consistent all year. What changed was the D-core infront of him. The flames moved their top pairing at TDL in Hanifin and Tanev.
As top 4 D rolling Kylington and Miromanov as top 4D. Kylington hasn't played in a year and a half, and Miromanov who was like 8th or 9th on the VGK depth chart and had a grand total of 29 career NHL games at 26 years old.

But fair enough if Markstrom isn't your cup of tea. NJD management appears to have thought differently with how close a deal appeared to be at TDL.</div></div>

TDL is a different story than offseason. Fewer moving parts at TDL (Boston wasn't going to trade Ullmark, Nashville wasn't going to trade Saros). The Devils NEEDED a goalie THEN. Flames had all the negotiation power.

Now, there are more options for the Devils to find the best fit.

Personally, I think Markstrom is fine. BUT, I'd prefer Saros (even with an extension at $8M for 8 years) because he can grow with the team. Long-term goalie plays are better than stop-gaps imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Would need to be a more significant add than Marino. Nemec is a great young player, but Hughes is already a top 3 dman in the league, a soon to be Norris winner, our captain, and still only 24. That’s what you hope Nemec can become one day, but there’s no guarantee he will. For the Canucks to take that risk they’d need quite a bit more on top of Nemec

For comparison try to think about what you’d want in a hypothetical Jack Hughes trade. Then take a bit less off of that as Jack is a bit more valuable due to being a center and having a longer term contract</div></div> Thank you for your legitimate reply and thoughts on a trade idea like this. The comparison of a Jack Hughes trade from my perspective does give me a better framework to work from.

I will continue to hit the books until I can find something that seems fair for both sides! :)
