He had like 60 breakaways and missed every shot. He seemed to find his scoring touch with NYR and he's going to add even more speed to that NJ line-up but a 2nd for a rental? The Devils better be gunning for a cup this year.

That's the issue. The devils are a team that can pull an upset. I really believe that. They have played the top teams great this year. But they are too young for me to think they can do that four times.
So if they aren't winning why are we giving up a second and rykov who some think could be a 2-4 dman in this league for two months of grabner. Rykov could bust or not even come over at all but this is too much. And to help out the rangers, a team I actually hate more than the broncos as insane as that sounds (due to me living among them), I can't stomach helping them.
Grabner also is shooting way out of his head and that will drop eventually. He is a great fit for this team but if he doesn't resign this isn't good. Shero has been fantastic with trades so I guess I have to trust him and his assessment of rykov. If the devils are not the fastest team in the league I'm not sure who is. Wood and grabner together would be outrageous.
