via capfriendly:

To #Devils Sami Vatanen 2019 or 2020 3rd RD pick (conditional)

To #Ducks Adam Henrique Joseph Blandisi 2018 3rd RD pick *

Condition: If Ducks sign Henrique to an ext prior to 2019 Draft, Devils get 2019 3rd. If after then 2020 3rd. If no ext, no pick exchanged.

Jordin Tootoo is on waivers. There’s the DD replacement

He's 34 already? What in the hell!

He and Kyle Quincey cleared waivers today.
Prosser from the Blues claimed by the Wild.

Besides a trade the team can try to replace DD's skillset from within with Gaunce and Virtanen.

All-in-all a 3rd rounder for Dorsett was a shrewd move back in 2014, the modern hybrid knuckledragger if you will, can scrap, was fast, threw hits, 100% energy, can penalty kill with a vengeance (he and Sutter formed a solid PK duo under TG) and even pop in a few goals.

This seems like a great trade for both teams in my opinion.

Devs were desperate for a top-pairing dee to fill their biggest hole.

Avs were desperate for a centre until Getzlaf and Kesler come back.

(then Henrique switches to wing where they also need some scoring help)

The emergence of young forwards + return of Zajac and Johansson (any day)

... made Henrique expendable.

The emergence of Montour and progression of dee prospects

... made Vatanen expendable.

Great trade for both teams!

lol I want to see Gaunce and Virtanen play but they do not replace DDs toughness. Wake up Skymonster

I'd like to see Bo step at that part of the game, but it has never been a part of his game.

I looked up Jake on Hockey fights, looked willing as a Hitman but was probably a 50/50 guy. Coaches are trying to keep him more focused on his skills other than running around hitting and I don't see that changing.

+1 Bo can do it.

Sign gudbranson for acceptable money if he will

Yes, hard to find a guy who replaces all that Dorsett brought to the table... and on such a great contract!

I don't mind him running around hitting, as long as he's knocking guys off pucks ala Dorsett.

Probably right Topper but none of the other forwards look like they can fight. Maybe Jake can fill in until Benning can find a replacement via waivers or trade.

Maybe if Ben Hutton didn't smile so much, he could be ier when needed.

Bo had a good tilt with Nurse last season. The kid is a gorilla. I’d hate to see him fight other than when he had to but he is a strong motherfucker. Sign Archibald or take a flyer on a 13th type forward type to help shepherd the kids.
