NJ reporter (Tom Gulitti) said that he wouldn't be surprised if they traded their 6th overall (2015) for scoring help.

If there is a chance they are open to trading, the Leafs should put together a package.

Leafs Trade:
Kessel, Lupul, + (defensive prospect or player)

NJ Trades:
6th overall, Larsson, and a pick/prospect

I personally think Kessel is worth more, but this isn't a perfect world.

Hometown boy Jvr might make more sense

The things that the devils have a lot of vets that are getting very close to retirement and I don't think they have a high potential forward (future star type) in the prospect pool. So trading a high first round pick in a very deep draft year wouldn't be something I could see the devils doing given they could still get a high quality forward prospect in this years draft.

You may be able to trade someone like JVR to the devils as he is a good forward in his prime but someone like Lupul isn't someone I could see NJ trading for due to his injury history and in general I don't see the devils moving the 6th pick in what is expected to be a very deep draft year.
