[Seravalli] Les Diables sont impliqués dans l’accord Flames and Stars. Conserver de l’argent sur Tanev pour aider à conclure l’accord.
#njdevils are involved in the #Flames and #TexasHockey deal, they are retaining money on Tanev to help process the deal.
NJD reserve list guy Cole Brady is part of the deal. They're getting back a 4th round pick.

> To Devils: 4th Rd Pick
Interesting that we would retain salary to make the deal possible, when Calgary wouldn’t do that to send Markstrom our way. Wonder if this is Fitz making a point or if this is some sort of big brain move to enable a move to come our way?
We already burned the LTIR.
Might as well use it
Ill take it but I dont really get the point of including Brady. Young goalies are a crapshoot, never know who can pop late.
Can the 4th play goalie and/or defense?
Flames retain: 2.25m
Devils retain: 1.12m
This is a solid move. The Devils have 9+ mil in deadline cap and Tanev is a UFA. This is essentially buying a pick for 1.1mil.
Did we essentially buy a draft pick?
Good currency to sweeten a future deal for basically no cost. Nice small move that could prove useful. Loading up on that trade fodder.
Thanks Fitzgerald for the lost season.
A blockbuster!
Don’t forget we apparently got comped McLeod’s cap hit. So we flipped that into a 4th for free.
Yeah, kinda feels like the front office has given up on the season, which is probably the smart way to go.
Instead of using that extra cap to bolster the D or G for a push to a wild card spot, we’re buying picks instead.
Edit: I’m getting downvoted here, so I guess this move screams « we’re making a push » to everyone? IDK I’m confused.
Should get a Tanev jersey for the millisecond he was on the Devils
So the Devils did [trade for Chris Tanev](https://www.capfriendly.com/draft/2026?pick=106) after all
Trade for Coleman inbound. Fitzmagic
It may seem pointless on paper but it opens the favor box in the gm circles or it could be opening for a bigger move for the devils.
Remember when we paid Buffalo a 5th round pick to take Will Butcher?
What’s the point of this? Maybe the 1 in 500 odds the Devils find a diamond in the 4th round ruff? Makes no sense at all.
There has to be a follow up on this… i’m 99% sure a markstrom trade is coming before the deadline
This team pisses me off so much and they should be asham
o shit! REAL NEWS 😱😱🤯
Well if we’re retaining money then we have to be moving salary out..?
Everyone, read the fine print. The pick is a 2026 4th round pick. What the fuck is the point of that trade?!?!?!
Umass goalie.
Meh
Meh. Whatever.
it’s a throw in in a future trade. like paint sealant when you buy a new car.
