Reports came out yesterday afternoon (first from the Twitter account of TSN's Bob McKenzie via Andy Tonge) that the Los Angeles Kings had traded forward Brian O'Neill to our New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional seventh round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. The pick is conditional on the Devils re-signing O'Neill for next season, so the Devils may have essentially acquired a center/right wing for this season to try in their new system and they may not have to give up anything in return; even if they do, a seventh round pick is just as much of an unknown as O'Neill, if not more.
