With All the Hype surrounding Tyler Toffoli and being one of the last top 6 forwards on the market the return for the NJ Devils was less than expected! Toffoli was getting alot of interest from alot of teams and the Devils were only able to get a 2nd and a 3rd rd pick for him.
The Winnipeg Jets scored on this trade as they get a top 6 forward and add scoring depth to a good lineup.

I wonder if they've got an agreement to re-sign him in the off-season. That way you're getting 2 picks for a rental
Yeah, youre totally right here. Ive had faith in fitz until this season. This is rough
Fire Fitzgerald š„
Fitzās new name is malpractice. This organization is in trouble.
I've bent over backwards to defend Fitzgerald for having a great summer.. however those days are over.. this really feels horrible right now..I know you are a big Tyler guy so I know you feel the same way…
Awful trade but on the bright side..you have excellent taste in music!
Was def expecting more, but on the flip side, better than losing him for nothing in the offseason
I warned you all last summer Fitz da Ditz with leave the Devils in ruinsš¤£
No one is happy with this return, but none of the other trades resulted in 1st round pick. If this is used to acquire a goalie all is good. No one had an issue with losing Sharangovich over the summer when Tiffoli was traded. Everyone was claiming Fitzgerald masterclass. Did we forget that Sharangovich only scored 13 goals the year prior and was a mess at times in Lindy's rush system? He never showed this level of improvement even when he was paired with Jack last year. I didn't want to see him go but happy he's doing well in Calgary but he was in a similiar situation Holtz is in now last year.
I don't know what people realistically expected to get back in return. Nobody with a valuable 1st round pick was going to give that up for a journeyman like Toffoli. Yes, he was producing, but most 1st rounders that were likely to be available in a trade have already been moved. I'm sure Fitz was trying to get moves done but this ended up being the best he was offered. Teams know that there's blood in the water here and they weren't about to get fleeced by Fitz. He wasn't going to get a top tier goalie for Toffoli, he wasn't going to get anything other than some picks to use in a trade in the post-season. Yes, I wish we got more in return, but this is about what I expected given the circumstances. It's a bummer, but it is what it is and we can only hope to see a good deal or two made when the season wraps up.
I don't like this but it's good to save money get assets and please tom Fitzgerald please get someone in the summer such as a goalie and fa
Wished it was to a team with a 1st, or a 2nd rounder with a low to mid level prospect. Supposedly, we just got Jake Allen from MTL.
Rather have this yrs 2nd rounder that Jets have from Montreal, than next years, would much rather get a 1st but this is horrible, i liked TT and wish we signed, heard his agent was looking 5-6 yr we were pushing 3-4 yrs, which i would prefer also.. love u rocking Maiden, is that Live after Death, i see the Lightning Bolt?? Probably THE greatest live album out thereā¦ š¤š» btw this trade sucked..
Now Stanley and a low pick for Dumna
Another complete mess from Fitz . He needs to be fired asap.
Not much of a return but good luck with the Thrashers Tyler Toffoli. Hope you have a nice long run in the playoffs.
Absolutely horrible Deal ,I'm done defending Fitz ,tried to keep faith ,but nope ,he blew it ,just like he blew it on the goaltender deal ,Jake Allen another under .900 goaltender ,seriously ?
When you take a stab, sometimes the knife comes out clean
Thought we would see them get a 1st for sure.
Basically it's Sharangovich for a 2nd and a 3rd round pick swap? Pretty awful in hindsight.
Horrible deal by Fitz.. giving away two solid players for 3rd and 4th round picks !! No wonder we are on the down.
I would have rather kept Sharangovich
The Devils are retaining 50% of Toffoli's contract.
Overall, it was a bad trade & I don't like it!
