Can't decide if I like this trade. Well Arnott is younger than Nieuwendyk and Langenbrunner is overrated, imo. Plus we get a first round pick. Makes our centers stronger and wingers weaker. Well if they put Modano at winger to take advantage of his speed then I guess it was a good move.

Yes, I am but that was a joke. I enjoy watching hockey/going to the games but I admit I don't know a lot about it.

i think the deal evens out for both teams... both got what they needed at this point in time...

right on...sorry for the dry comment. ESPN has some games where they have "NHL RULES" and they explain a lot of the game during the broadcast. definitions of calls, penalties and the like. i didn't know much either when i first started watching...but i love it and know quite a bit now. 😀

Arnott has been coasting this year. And McKay is washed up! The draft is also very shallow this year so the first round is a wash. Most Devils fans love the trade on my board..

Nieuwendyk doesn't have long either. Great for your playoff run this year, but he is not a long term prospect either. So each team got something in the trade.

Yup, Dallas got more future stuff with a younger Arnott and a first round pick. Devils seem to have aimed for a run this year or next.
