Devils and Rangers make a trade for the first time ever. I'm actually surprised this is the trade they made. On the surface, I don't love it as a Devils fan. I'm not thrilled to give up a 2nd rounder. I don't know what Rykov is really going to be so I can't worry too much about that. I do think a potential line of Bratt, Zacha, and Grabner could be pretty lethal.
In the end, it's just a rental though, which makes the 2nd round pick tough to swallow. They did get better though and it's nice to see them actually in the hunt for a change.

The Leafs traded for Grabner to drop a bunch of contracts and hopefully flip him for picks during their "tank" year. No one wanted him, let alone was anyone willing to give up a 2nd for him.
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.
