With The word coming out That the NJ Devils may want to keep Goaltender Akira Schmid in the AHL with the Utica Comets and Carey Price Returning for the Montreal Canadiens a Casey Desmith TRADE To The NJ Devils seems like a possible trade that may benefit both teams. I know the trade rumors for so long were the Devils being interested in Star Goalie Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets, but if the Devils are reluctant to give up all the assets to acquire him & then having to sign him long term, Desmith seems like a logical move for this upcoming year. In this video I discuss why A Desmith trade to the Devils may be happening and possibly soon.

Definitely plausible, and I can understand wanting Akira to get as many games as possible (to push his conditioning up to a starter role…). Mixed feelings on it personally, but we'll see what happens. Great topic
Interesting scenario! Hadn't heard Price is playing. Definitely a possibility 😮
On October 7, the Devils will trade Vitek Vanecek, Nolan Foote, and Alexander Holtz to the Jets for Connor Hellebuyck.
Desmith isnt an upgrade to V or Schmitty in my opinion.
Schmitty shut out the Rangers in game 7 we need to reward him with NHL time not punish him by sending him back to AHL.
I think it makes sense. You can’t have too much goaltending depth. With Nico Daws out until at least December this could sure some things up. Schmid will probably end up playing in the NHL sooner than later anyways
not a bad idea.
This would make the most sense short term. However, I think the Devils are good enough and should, make a trade for Hellebuyck now. Vitek, Brennan, Holtz plus a first round pick in return. Playing it safe now could only hurt the Devils early on.
