Today it was announced that the New Jersey Devils made a trade with the Anaheim Ducks sending former Barrie Colts captain, Joseph Blandisi to the team formally known as the Mighty Ducks. The trade also saw Adam Henrique and a 3rd round draft pick in 2018.

In return, New Jersey picked up Sami Vatanen and a conditional 3rd round pick in the 2019 or 2020. Here is the conditions, per the official New Jersey Devils website.
  • If Anaheim signs Henrique to a new Standard Player Contract for 2019-20 prior to their own third-round pick of the 2019 Draft, Anaheim will transfer their own third-round pick in the 2019 Draft to New Jersey. 
  • If Anaheim signs Henrique to a new Standard Player Contract for 2019-20 after their own third-round pick of the 2019 Draft, Anaheim will transfer their own third-round pick in the 2020 Draft to New Jersey. 
  • If Henrique does not re-sign with Anaheim, no pick will be exchanged.

He also finished the season with 126 penalty minutes which is almost as many as the top 3 scorers combined (10th most in the OHL). He was also the winner of the Leo Lalonde
