BREAKING: #NHLDucks acquire centers Adam Henrique, Joseph Blandisi and a 2018 third-round draft pick from the @NJDevils for defenseman Sami Vatanen and a conditional draft pick.
 
Adam Henrique has been traded, a pc has been turned upside down

........................didn't see this one coming.
If I could post a pick of Ron Burgundy it would tell me story right now.

I'm in a glass case of emotion
 
What in the world? Yeah, that is a complete surprise. Their D-corps could definitely use upgrading. I guess with some of the young forwards they added, they deemed Henrique expendable. Have to give something to get something.
 
Why would they shake up their roster? They’re playing good. Vatanen is a good Dman but I would’ve left it as is.

They wanted contract certainty. You can never enough enough quality young D-Men, especially locked into a contract with 2+ yrs remaining. Henrique was expendable, as he no longer fit into their plans at centre, especially with Hischier playing better than they had hoped. I am more surprised that they gave up Blandisi as well. Hope the conditional draft pick pans out.
 
I have checked in with him on Twitter. Appears speechless. Can confirm he is OK. Lol.


Completely unexpected trade there. Agreed with the above, NJ is starting to look legit. Good blue line, good goalie, and they are no longer the "boring" as some as referred to them Devils. When I saw them in Buffalo this year they were fast, electric, and exciting to watch.
 
I wonder how much of a henrique had on hall.... since hall arrived to nj, you don't hear about hall and his ways.... for those that don't know hall and henriqur played junior hockey in Windsor and won 2 memorial cups together

time will tell

I'm seriously shocked on this trade... Henrique is a type of player every team would want
 
Good hockey trade. NJ gets a needed top 4 defenseman, Anaheim gets some badly needed help at center. This also sets the price for teams looking for a 1A/2 center and a 3-5 Defender that can move the puck well.
