The long rumored Matt Duchene deal finally came to fruition as he was shipped off the the Devils without any retention for Victor Rask, Edm 1, NJ 4.
Rask fits a roster spot, and is turning into a useful NHLer (Willing to retain up to 1.9m on his contract), while the Edmonton 1st and NJ 4th continue to add to our arsenal of picks. Bringing our total to 8 firsts in the upcoming draft. For shits and giggles, let's take a look where those picks would be today.
Sea 1 - 1st
Bos 1 - 7th
Phi 1 - 12th
Cal 1 - 21st
LA 1 - 24th
Chi 1 - 25th
Edm 1 - 28th
Buf 1 - 30th
