Jersey Joe Corner Podcast<\/h2>\n

Wayne Simmonds<\/a> To Buffalo<\/h3>\n

Listen Here<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys open the show talking about the NHL Trade Deadline and the moves the New Jersey Devils made. Jim talks about the first trade involving Wayne Simmonds being traded<\/a> to the Buffalo Sabres<\/a>. While Jim thought the trade was similar to the Keith Kinkaid<\/a><\/strong> deal of last season to Columbus<\/a>, Joe talks about how the Devils could find a diamond in the rough with that fifth-round pick. Jim also mentions that Sabres were on Simmonds’s eight-team no-trade list, and he waived it to go there.<\/p>\n

Sami Vatanen<\/a> To Carolina<\/h3>\n

Then the boys turn their attention to the big trade for the Devils that saw the team trade Sami Vatanen<\/a> to the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a>. Jim breaks down the trade and what the Devils got in return in drafts and prospects. Joe really likes the addition of Janne Kuokkanen<\/a><\/strong> and Fredrik Claesson<\/a><\/strong>. Kuokkanen will be getting a shot with the big club this season. Both players will be part of rebuild going forward for the Devils.<\/p>\n

Louis Domingue<\/a> To Vancouver<\/h3>\n

Then the boys look at the final trade of the day for the Devils which saw goaltender Louis Domingue traded<\/a> to the Vancouver Canucks<\/a>. This was a minor deal for the Devils, however, with Jacob Markstrom<\/a> hurt, the Canucks were in need of goaltending. Jim points out how Domingue is going to a better situation as the Canucks defence is much better than the Devils.<\/p>\n

Tom Fitzgerald’s Grade<\/h3>\n

Joe and Jim then hand out their grades for Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald. Going into the deadline, the boys had already given him an A- for the deals involving Andy Greene<\/a><\/strong> and Blake Coleman<\/a><\/strong>. After what he got the Devils in return for Simmonds, Vatanen, and Domingue, his grade did not change. Plus the fact, he did not sell off Kyle Palmieri<\/a><\/strong> at a lower value than he wanted, the Devils GM had a good day.<\/p>\n

Jersey Joe and Jim close the show talking about some of the big trades that happened and didn’t happen. Jim goes over the Jean-Gabriel Pageau<\/a><\/strong> to the New York Islanders<\/a> and his extension<\/a>, the Chris Kreider<\/a><\/strong> extension with the New York Rangers<\/a>, Robin Lehner<\/a><\/strong> trade to Vegas<\/a>, the moves the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>, and Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> did.<\/p>\n
