Hawks cut deal with Devils!

[PsychoticPondGoons]

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.

Giving up a D and get 2 back in return, and maybe another in the 1st rd. Good luck PPG

Pretty good trade. MM is talented. Barberio is actually getting a chance to play 1st pair minutes and producing. The 1st rd pk makes that package very intriguing.

   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.

Amen. Of course, we're buying potential here. Nothing stops the kid from turning into a total Dipietro or Cody Hodgson in another sense.

Appears to be a rather balanced exchange. Another year will tell who the true winner of this trade is.
