DJ Eco Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't get it, why are Urbom and Tedenby playing overseas next year? Tedenby baffles me the most considering this guy's been in the organization for quite a while now and still hasn't made the big club. Either sh!t or get off the pot. I wish it was that simple lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundstrom Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Cammaleri - Zajac - Jagr Henrique - ELias - Brunner Clowe - Rutuu - Ryder Zubrus- Josefson - Havlat Now with Havlat I have no clue we know that this is almost certainly not the top 12 - i think either gionta comes in and/or ryder or brunner goes out. but i also think you're getting elias AND henrique at center.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 hoping one of or both ryder and brunner get traded and if its only one i would rather see ryder go first.. both are mystery men out there though At this point it's a mystery TEAM, really. It's even more of an IF team than it was last season. This team can be a playoff contender, but a lot of things have to go right. I always have hope going into a season, especially when you've got a puck-stopper like Cory that should be able to keep the Devils in a lot of games, but plenty can go wrong with this group...starting with what happens if Jagr doesn't put up another 82-game, 67-point season...and continuing with what happens when these aging forwards (and this group doesn't figure to be terribly good offensively again this season to begin with) start missing games. Back-to-backs could be very rough on this team for sure. I don't outright hate the Cammalleri signing, but man was that one a risk. Right now it just feels like a "If this guy does this and this guy takes a step forward and these guys stay healthy and that guy can do what he did a few years ago..." team. Maybe it all works out. I hope so. But I see potential for some serious downside here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think there is still more coming, but so far so good in New Jersey. I agree that I'm not sure where Marty Havlat fits, but I'd say you slot him in at 2nd line RW, but he still has to earn his ice-time. I think both Brunner and Ryder go or they let these guys be kids and see who takes the top spots. I hate not retaining Fayne, but I don't think it's going to hurt us too badly in the long run. We just have to hope that these young D are the real deal. I'd hope to have Carter back as well, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a Rangers jersey. He's probably between New York and NJ at this point. I see not the most skilled team, but a deep team, especially when you add the possible young forwards like Boucher.

Steadevils Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Lou was lamenting the fact that we did not have a third line that could score last year, so having plenty of top 9 forwards to fill in for injuries or poor play is needed. Pretty confused as to why having too many top 9 forwards is a problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 One thing we know from the last few weeks is that Lou and Pete are completely on the same page with what they like and dislike about this team, and what they feel is needed to make the playoffs. I'll expect Lou to ship out Brunner, Ryder or Josefson in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Josefson was just signed, I find it unlikely he is traded. It will be Ryder or Brunner for spare parts. I don't believe he has been signed yet. He was just given a qualifying offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll expect Lou to ship out Brunner, Ryder or Josefson in the coming weeks. I wouldn't mind seeing Lou trade Brunner or Ryder, both frustrated me to no end last year. I feel like Ryder would be easier to move since he's had success in the past. I think the writing is on the wall for Josefson. Either they're going to try to trade him or they'll try to slip him through waivers I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, I doubt there are any teams hungry for his services. But it is a big year for him, playing for next years contract. Hopefully he'll (and Brunner as well) be better. One thing I love about PDB, he holds you accountable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't he a lefty and has played lw his entire career?Edit: also, you're crazy to think that if Ryder is here he won't be in the lineup. Any lineup without him in it is not happening unless he's traded. Edited July 3, 2014 by dmann422 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmann422 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Wiki, NHL and Capgeek all list him as RW.hmm wiki says lw but nhl does say rw. He is a lefty shooter and we all know how Pete likes his sticks to the boards. I'll be surprised if he plays rw unless Pete wants to force feed both havlat and henrique on Elias's line. Even then it means either Ryder or Brunner on the 4th line and I don't think that's happening.Oh well I guess it's still way too early for line predictions.

He's mostly been an RW in his career, even in Ottawa where they were relatively weak down the left side. He can play LW but the Devils have more LWs than RWs and I suspect he'll be used as an RW.

If so that leaves us with cammalleri, clowe and ruutu at left wing.I would think Pete will try some different combos in camp and preseason, there are some flex guys like zubrus and havlat who can move around.

Triumph Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Well, that's something - I didn't realize Jacob Josefson was eligible for arbitration. They might Mark Fraser him into going to arbitration, and buy out either Zubrus or Ryder during the 2nd buyout period. Brunner is not eligible to be bought out during the 2nd buyout period. It seems unlikely - NJ has cap room at the moment - but something to keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 How much do you think Sunny Mehta & his stats had to do with any of the signings if at all? Not sure really, we know Cammalleri's been on Lou's radar for at least 5 months, and Havlat may have just been a Lou/Elias intuition signing. Maybe he'll be involved in picking who gets traded now and maybe for which prospects in return? Who knows.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
