thefiestygoat Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Remy Giftopolous invited to camp. Anyone know anything? Prob 0% chance he makes anymore than that, just thought I'd mention it. I wonder if this kid knows someone or something? Nothing about his OHL stats suggest even an AHL deal for him. Nice size at 6'2, 204 but only 73 points, 131 PIM in 169 OHL games and last year as a 19/20 yr old he only had 48 points in 71 games with 61 PIM - so it's not like he is the enforcer type. I don't know, if this isn't a favor or something than maybe he's some kind of late bloomer that has some attractive qualities in his game. He will be Devils prospect, Ben Johnson's teammate this year so the Devils will be able to keep tabs on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnett to camp to multiple development camps and at least one regular training camp. We probably would've said the same thing about Clarkson in 2005. Obviously not saying that Giftopoulos is another Clarkson but that junior hockey doesn't necessarily get the best out of everyone (and Windsor was awful last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby89 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I saw that he was listed as the team captain for a recent game. Is that his normal role or does the captaincy float around in WHL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm guessing he's an "energy' type (Lou loves these guys) He's dropped the gloves many times apparently. But you never know, he could actually have underlying "skills"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per TG: Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said the team has a good relationship with Windsor and was asked to take a look at Giftopoulos in camp. Lamoriello said Giftopoulos will “go back to junior” after camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I guess a good way to put my thoughts is.... knowing the organization you cant count them out and with a good system they could be competitive.But lots of guys are gonna have to step up. That been said, if i really want to win a game on NHL14... i won't pick the devils lol cause on paper we're really not that great but paper doesnt win games we know that but you also can't ignore that teams winning championship have at least 2 stars on the team or a lot of over average players Edited September 11, 2013 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
