MOCK TRADE

To NJD:
Quinn Hughes

To VAN:
Simon Nemec (2022 2nd OA pick)
Dawson Mercer
Alexander Holtz (2020 7th OA pick)

These assets New Jersey would be sending back to Vancouver are all young and promising with the oldest of the three players being Holtz who was born in early 2002.

With a player of Hughes' caliber and the prospect of reuniting the three brothers, the Devils would need to overpay but in doing so they unlock a level of chemistry not seen in the NHL often.
