Devils acquire F Matt D'Agostini from STL

[devil421]

And a 7th Rd pick in exchange for a conditional 5th Rd pick in 2015. Looks like a depth move.

eta: Im seeing that D'Agostini was in a similar situation to Lokti, with a logjam at the position on the team. Here's hoping he lights it up like Lokti has.

Looking at the NHL.com comments on this trade..seems like Blues fans are pretty pissed about losing him and think we're getting a steal here.

Word on him is he's a fast sniper..that could come in handy. Ive always felt we could use a Grabner/Haeglin type here. If this kid fits that build then thats awesome.

I like this deal, of course any time you can get a player for a late pick it's usually a win

My thoughts are about the same as with Loki, we got a young player that's all upside, who has shown that he can be a good scorer, but might have been buried by a coach. Who knows. It's hard to ever get mad about adding a piece for a 5th at most. Hopefully he can help.

the main difference though with the loki deal and this one is that loki never got a shot at the nhl. d'ag has so we kinda know what we are getting 15-20g about sykora level production. granted that was career high so lets see

well if you ever wanted to know why some people play the 4th line just listen to that video lol

I don't think anyone would argue that Hitchcock is good with young players. He has a baddddd reputation.

Getting players from St. Louis has worked out well in the past.

That's true, we have gotten two of our captains from them.

He had a couple of nice hits in teh 1st period

 

[irishwhip03]

First point as a Dev..and how long until the Loktionov post is bumped?

Not that I mind ;-)

 

[DevilishWon]

Mercifully I didnt see the florida game but I thought D'Agostini was probably our best forward against TB

 

[Nasty_Magician]

He, Loki and Truth actually looked real good together. A lot of speed and skill on that line. Hopefully their chemistry keeps improving and they can put up some serious numbers.
