Thinking this over i would take Toffoli as a throw in and not as the main piece. Toffoli is the type of player who can get hot and plays the PP, he can play 2nd line RW and hopefully get on a hot straek. That being said i'm not a big fan of this player.

He is also past 30 and on an expiring contract. So I am not sure what the long term value would be

Wonder if this will affect Linus’ motivation in case he’s needed in the playoffs….
Here’s hoping any Sway signing is announced once the playoffs are done….
If true, glad the B’S chose to give Sway the reigns going forward….

Unless their names are Hughes (both) or Hischier, I don’t see anyone else on the Devils I’d take for Linus…. As for Toffoli, he’d be a nice rental….

How about Dawson Mercer, Toffoli for Leenus and DeBrusk? Don’t think Mercer makes the B’S a better team heading into the playoffs…. Would prefer Donnie wait until the season’s over before dealing Linus unless he gets an offer he can’t refuse this week…. Which I can’t think of any right now….

I love the contract, 8 years of Swayman's prime at a very reasonable contract. A top-5-10 goalie at $7 million? Yes please. The timing is interesting though, as the deadline approaches. Makes me think the team has been getting offers for Linus.

Hugs about to end...but Linus has been a great teammate and his Vezina season never forgotten...but it seems Sway has past him by

Has been called "the Swiss Bergeron" more than once, and that's some high praise. And from what I've seen, he's not that far off.
But I don't think the Devils would give up their captain (also a heart-and-soul guy).

Isn't a Linus trade supposed to bring back talented youth that can contribute ala Mercer or Holtz plus draft capital not a Toffoli - not on board fore this at all.

My only hesitation is not really knowing how Sway will be in playoffs. But I guess if they don't announce something sooner, it will cause more acrimony between Sway and B's (arbitration then his commments when he made the All-Star Team). But you have to hold on to Linus at least through the 24 playoffs...as we know goalies come, go, get hurt, go into slumps, have bad games, have great games, etc.

Hope this is true. This would be an awesome extension both in length and dollars. I've been a huge fan since the first game he played at UMaine. He's been great all year, but watching last night and the confidence he played with against the hottest offense in the league...this kid has "it".
If you can trade Ully before Friday for something that will make us tougher to play against in the playoffs, then do it. If not, wait until summer and there should be plenty of suitors for him.

Agree the B’S should hang on to Linus for this playoff run because I don’t see any haul coming in the next few days….
