We have a solid top 4 with Salvador, Greene, Volchenkov, Fayne (insert Larsson here when healthy). As long as he is given a role straight away and plays within it, like the previously mentioned ~15mins a night.
Just don't be worse than Foster, which ironically means scoring at least 3 goals lol
I also meant to ask, did Zidlicky waive the clause just for NJ or are we among the teams? For now I'm assuming just NJ
We may have to toss in a mid round pick, but I truly don't see those two playing on the Devils anymore.
To be totally honest, I've been saying that Tedenby would be traded for quite some time. I think I actually guaranteed it once, much to my chagrin.

Where would we put Suter? We'd have Tallinder, Greene, Volchenkov, Larsson, Zidlicky, and Fayne all demanding top-6 roster spots. At the very least you'd have to move someone first.

And at that, you'd be trading someone for a chance to sign Suter.
FWIW, I'm not the biggest fan of this. He'd be another relatively highly paid mid par D man. That's not what the team needs. They need a top pairing guy. If that's not available, stand pat.
Now if he were an impending UFA it'd be a different story.
If this deal does happen, it means one defenseman that the Flyers will not be getting, and that in itself is huge, in my opinion.
And why are people so down on the guy? He has had some really respectable offensive seasons.
Ok stats but I think he's underperformed this season, in comparison to what he's capable of. I would know cause he's on my fantasy team. But good point, mentioning the Flyers caught my eye. Although I still see Homer aiming for Nashville.
This could be good or bad for the Devils. A change of scenary may be a pick-me-up for Zidlicky.
That's arguable one way or another, but it would still be terrible asset management.
If the end result is worth it, would it still be terrible asset management?
What else are we going to get for Urbom/Tedenby? Furthermore, would either of them on the Wild - or any team for that matter - come back to haunt the Devils later? Probably not.
