New Jersey Devils - Edmonton Oilers

[Devils_GM]

TO New Jersey Devils

Artem Anisimov CON: 76

TO Edmonton Oilers

Marc Staal CON: 81

Reasoning: I have Andersson, Maatta and Somerby coming up to the NHL this season and had too many NHL D Men, I needed to bring in a more offensive HAG line and Anisimov is a good offensive HAG centre or winger. Feel this is a big step forward in being a more competitive team as a whole rather than relying on my offence to get the job done all the time.

Yep, we got a deal.

I was comfortable going into the season with this roster but still felt my blue line could use a boost.
Anisimov was most likely to play on my 3rd line so I'm not dismantling one of my top lines to get Staal who, in return, will be used as a Top 3 D-Man on my team. I'm saving close to $1.1M doing this deal, which is always nice, and I love Staal's contract (2 years + TO at $2.05M).

Easy negociations. Much appreciated.
Thanks and good luck!
