voxangelikus Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I was looking on Yahoo! Sports this morning (not the most reliable source for NHL info), and noticed this: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/1290 Well, actually, I noticed in the Transaction section that the Devils signed Ian Moran. Did this happen a long time ago and I just didn't notice? Or is this recent? Or is Yahoo! wrong? I keep up with the Devils' signings, and would like to think that I didn't miss something as notable as our acquiring a new defenseman.

RowdyFan42 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Really.... I can't believe I didn't notice that... Sorry for the extra post, then! No prob... that signing kinda flew under the radar, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 imo his trade value woud be minimal at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal914 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 yeah... hes going to be used in a big trade soon... i can smell it... Niedermayer hopefully... i heard he may want to come back and retire in NJ... that would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMinder Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Citing another forum is hardly substantiating a rumor. Besides, Nieds is on contract with the Ducks until he retires they aren't gonna trade a Cup star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 It's all part of Lou's devious plan to replace good defencemen with cheap knock-offs that have the same first letter in their name and the same jersey number. Our top pairing will be #28 Rachunek and #7 Moran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestevens Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yeah, Scott isnt ever coming back to the Devils. Hes either a duck or done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxangelikus Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Where was Moran last year? His stats say he played one game.... was he injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansDevils Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Moran will be playing in Lowell, but if a Dman goes down, I hope they bring Moran up before Oduya. Moran is a veteran and could show some leadership here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Moran will be playing in Lowell, but if a Dman goes down, I hope they bring Moran up before Oduya. Moran is a veteran and could show some leadership here. I'd easily take Oduya over Moran. Moran really is a utility man at best and hasn't seen legitimate NHL time in nearly five years. Yes, he will be playing in Lowell, and I like it that way -- if we have a emergency, then by all means call Ian or Jean-Luc up, but other than that, they both will stay in Lowell and actually give a bit of leadership and depth to a severely depleted AHL team.

stevestevens Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I really like Oduya, hes a good growing player, id hate to see him sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 hes the replacement for Dan Mcgillis, former Bruin that will do absolutely nothing for the big club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxangelikus Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 I really liked McGillis, though. I thought he was one of the Devils' better signings in... well, I'd say easily in the last 5 years or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
