We got an ideal perfect fit and didn't give up anything significant to our future. I love Big Z but we're great at finding middle six forward talent and there's a chance that Clarke, Thompson, Stillman, Foote and even Holtz (or Gritsyuk, Filmon or Hauser). God, we have so many assets to use. They may all not be great but the flexibility is going to pay off for when we're going after cups. I was just thinking the same about Vilen. I think he will be over in the next two years. This was the perfect way to really take advantage of the prospect credit we had built up. No major dent to the prospect pool even without the two firsts, and we may get some back if we trade bratt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol It's a quantity over quality trade but you're getting pieces that will 100% play for you. They just have capped ceilings. You're going to love Big Z. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I couldn’t be more happier with this trade. I’ll miss Z, but not giving up any of our top tier prospects? Hell yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I just listened to Fitzgerald’s zoom call. I really think this guy is a genuinely smart guy. He’s a guy who think about the fine details, alternative outcomes and focuses on the points that may be missed by others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have rather given up holtz, but can't be too mad at what was given up, just as sharks fans shouldn't be too upset with what they got back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think the expectation from here is that anything the devils do at the deadline is to boost Utica a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
