On the morning of November 30th, 2017, New Jersey Devils fans saw one of their most talented and well-loved centers, Adam Henrique, get traded to the Anaheim Ducks along with Joseph Blandisi and a 2018 3rd-round pick. The return was a 3rd-round pick conditional upon Henrique receiving an extension from Anaheim and left-handed defenseman Sami Vatanen.
In Sami Vatanen’s first two seasons with New Jersey, he has played 107 games and recorded 45 points. He is currently entering a contract year, ending after the 2019-2020 season, and will likely be looking for a raise from his current $4.
