MTL - 2022 1st (26th),2022 2nd (33rd),Jake Allen, Jonathan Drouin (50% retained at 2.75M)
NJD - 2022 1st (2nd)

NJ gets a solid top 6 addition in Drouin, who can potentially flourish with Hughes or Hischier and benefit from having way less pressure to perform than in Montreal. They also get a good 1b option with Allen. Two picks are also added to bolster their prospect pool.
I could see them making a good push for the playoffs next year with that roster, they already have a good pieces and those two players bring much needed depth to their roster

MTL gets a chance to draft both Wright and Slafkovsky.
Also trading key pieces like Drouin and Allen, with Price being questionable to return next year, would mean that they would probably not have the greatest of seasons and could have a shot at Bedard at the 2023 draft.

Devils won’t trade the 2nd overall pick away to go that far down the board, think it would take a huge deal to get any sort of deal.

NJ says take Allen out, change Drouin to a player we'd actually want and we'll think about it.

Drouin has negative value and Devils will want a quality piece back that can immediately help them.
