I just think the Devils got a lot more bang for their buck than the Bruins. I don't know. I'm not a Maroon fan. "Bang for buck," -- maybe. In that he's cheaper. I don't think he adds much to New Jersey. He had a pretty good first game, though, so maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't find two players with more different skill sets (other than both are below average passers) but both fit exact needs for the Devils for cheap.

The price for Nash was a bit unreal given his current skillset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a night and day difference in cost between Nash and Maroon, and I don't think there is a night and day difference in what these teams should expect from these guys. He gave them a big body who can fit in with skilled players, and that's a nice thing come April. He only cost them a 3rd round pick, which I think is a fair price.
