Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5102816, member: 173"] It was a forgone conclusion he was going to be traded by the Devils in 2018, the team was in a rebuild and he had more trade value to the Devils trying to acquire picks and players for the future. Any time the Ducks played in Newark over the last five years, the Devils would do a short career highlights video for him, which would always get a loud cheer from the crowd. I’m not surprised he’s playing well - he started his career as a third-line center who had a knack for making good plays and being in the right place at the right time. That’s just who he is. It’s a shame his career started right as the Devils were about to fall off the cliff into a decade of irrelevance; if he’d started ten years earlier and was on a Cup team, he would have been a lock for the Devils Ring of Honor.
