Triumph Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It's an interesting signing for NJ because they already have Hraberenka and Scarlett in the minors as RH PP guys. So either they're just gonna roll with 3 guys like that, or one of these guys is going to be on the NHL team next year. I understand it from the Devils' perspective - hey, who doesn't want more players - but I don't really get it from Vojtech's perspective. It's not that the Devils don't have open spots on their blueline, but that the Devils mostly have guys of a similar ilk to him in front of him (and behind him).

CarpathianForest Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I liked what I saw of Hrabarenka. I'd like to see him get a spot with the big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hystyk28 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 3rd pairing guy with PP time? Or maybe a RH D man is on the move? Purely a depth move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Must indicate Shero's cooking a trade up imo, because we have such a stupid amount of potentially-ready NHL defensemen at this point that adding another one doesn't seem to make sense.

Agreed. Shero loves to stockpile what he sees as assets. I think right now he is going overboard on mobile offensive D men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has a potential trade in mind and is preparing for success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyall Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Voltron who? I immediately thought back to high school when half my class went to VoTech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
