Hawks make a move for now and the future. We ship a 1st Rounder and a pair of young Dmen to NJ to get a similarly young Dman with some upside.TO Devils Round 1 - 2017 (from *; originally )D Mark Barberio, $0.2m (2015-2017)D Luke Witkowski, $0.2m (2016-2018)TO Hawks D Michael Matheson, $1.5m (2016-2019-EL)Thanks JJWW! Enjoy your new players and 1st Rounder.
Amen. Of course, we're buying potential here. Nothing stops the kid from turning into a total Dipietro or Cody Hodgson in another sense.
Clear winner is the Hawks here. Getting Matheson, the very talented blue liner for a solid contract long term. Barberio has made some noise, but lets not forget he is on the worst team in Hockey and the other guy was an uncontested FA this year. Late 1st doesn't really excite me in this draft.
