I’m not opposed to shipping Bjugstad for a pick, he’s been good but I wouldn’t call him the answer to our 4th line center problem.
Glass shouldn’t go anywhere.

Glass is a fourth line center.
They don’t have a third line center.
Jack Hughes has a 34% face off winning rate and seems to be most effective when he’s on the wing like he was in the Olympics.
So what center depth can they possibly mess with? Are you just saying not to trade Nico? Good idea!

I wonder about Glass and the hullabaloo of whether they were going to keep it or not last June/July. I forgot the particulars but it didn’t seem like Fitz wanted to keep him and then he was re-signed at the last minute. I wonder if there’s some lingering stuff from that still hanging around. In which case, Fitz should be fired before he can trade him or told not to trade him and fired in the offseason.
For where the Devils are right now, you don’t trade effective 26 year olds at the trade deadline. Is someone going to trade us another Cody Glass? No? Then why are trading ours? Makes no sense. He can be a useful piece next season. If we’re out of it and he’s UFA or what have you next trade deadline, then fine. But now? No way.
