39 is a no go, 22 and 23 are taken, and 27 is retired. He'll get 18 from Lou and he'll like it.

[Jersey Man]

When we get Zajac back our 4th line is going to be sexy.

[AfroThunder396]

I like this move, low risk with potential for a moderate reward.

Kind of curious why we're trading for a forward, makes me think Teddy's days are numbered.

Another Ruskie for Kovy?

He's from the Ukraine. lol

[Kemo Sabe]

4th line when zajac comes back. poni-carter-zharkov. imagine that. /dream.

[CerebralGenesis]

Didn't lose much at all. Not a big fan of Poni though, in fact I'm not a fan.

[Basement Cat]

He'll get 21

[CerebralGenesis]

The Foster and Ponikarovsky acquistions are pretty interesting actually. Lou gave up 2 scratches, 2 late picks, and a prospect to get depth at D and LW.

Tedenby = Albany bound. That is good btw. He could use tons of icetime and hopefully some swag

[daveskirtun]

Solid move, no complaints from me. Welcome to NJ, Alexei!

[Dr Grant]

Love it! Love Poni! Great move by Lou. Just gotta hope he regains his toronto form again.

[apice3]

I think it's a great depth move. I think this means Tedenby is playing the rest of the year in Albany.

and that might be the best part about this trade. more development time. hopefully he gets some confidence back.

Devils have confirmed trade now.

[kyle evs48]

Sova was going to be a nobody. And a 4th is a 4th. Can't complain.

True, but I'm positive he speaks Russian. Even Zubrus does, and he's Lithuanian.

I can tell you right now it won't be Zharkov. Maybe Boulton or Mills. Either way, it should be a capable fourth line.

And that prospect was an undrafted FA who was getting scratched in the AHL. He got very good value considering that.

I suck at making line combos.

Parise - Henrique - Kovalchuk
Zubrus - Elias - Sykora
Poni - Yayo - Clarkson
??? - Carter - ???

Mills and Janssen at the wings? Boulton and Tedenby are scratches. Tedenby gets sent down when Greene is healthy/D gets called up. When Zajac is healthy and centering the 3rd line, depth will be good.

[Bleedred]

This is awesome no complaints from half the board!

[DatBoyJPP]

Parise - Henrique - Kovalchuk
Zubrus - Elias - Sykora
Ponikarovsky - Zajac - Clarkson
Carter - Josefson - Boulton

??

[BrodeursCups]

Love the move. Gave up little and the bottom six just got much better...

[CerebralGenesis]

Will he be in Newark ready to play by tomorrow afternoon?

[downtown56]

TGfireandice: Devils GM Lou Lamoriello said team will try to get Ponikarovsky to NJ in time for Saturday's 1 p.m. game. It will be up to coach if he plays

[MJB Devils23*]

I love big guys who have skill. Hopefully doesn't turn into another Steckel.
