Bergfors' (poor skater; slumping) and Cormier's (barely a point-per after 4 years in QMJHL) production combined won't match Kovalchuk's, and Oduya is thrown into an already overloaded defensive corps. He might look good in Jersey, but we have no idea how he fits the Atlanta "system" (if they have one). If they’re successful in re-signing, this deal becomes a complete coup.

It is a very under the radar team in a state nobody likes. I see him heading to a big market like the LA, NY or Boston I don’t really see him staying in NJ past this year.

It will probably depend on how he does through the end of the season, and how Lemaire deals with him (and vice-versa). Of course, there's also the wild-card of mucho-millions of KHL dollars/rubles to entice him as well. NJ certainly has all the goods if they want to sign him. Agree Dave.

They have a ton of cap room ($16 million) and 15 players signed already. I can see the Devils resigning him. They have a ton of cap room ($16 million) and 15 players signed already.

It will be interesting to see if he plays in the NHL this year. Oduya is a better than average defenceman.

The "winner" is going to be decided by how Bergfors turns out, and how the 1st rounder is used. Oduya gives them a serviceable and cheap defenseman for the next two years.
