insanity_gallops Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That just gives him more options for benchings... Slightly off-topic: But quintessential Lemaire from last season in a game when Bergfors scored two goals for the Devils... he's asked after the game, "How did you like Bergfors' game tonight?" and he responds, "I liked two shifts. Not counting the goals." Bergie, meet Lou's suite with food & a view of the ice. Next up, Tedenby. Anyway. Back to the chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Your right. But I just hate to see it as he and Parise had great chemistry. The way this season went this had to happen with Langenbrunner. This move has to be the first of a long series of movies where Lou gets it right. He's hasn't made a good trade since the Friesen for Sykora trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well look on the bright side: at the rate we're going we'll wind up trading away or waiving just about all the vets so that Jacques will be forced to play the kids. thats what LL said. we're going to find out what kind of team we are.

Quinn01 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Via Twitter: Dallas_Dave Langenbrunner to LA for either a pick or a prospect, I'm told. Could be Voynov, but too early to get into specifics. D-day deal likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I hate you. I don't want it to happen. Just speculating. Elias has been our best player this year by far and I love the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattyelias Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 At his worst, he was a glorified past-his-prime 3rd line winger with declining talents and an annoying attitude. His blatant penalties and "who, me?" reactions to those penalties pissed me off. His well-documented sh!t-fit was embarrassing as a fan of the player and the team. But, at his best, he was a 25-goal scorer with leadership and talent. He was no small factor in our cup in 2003, behind Freeze I think he was our best forward that cup run. I loved seeing him lead the ZZPops line, chasing the 30 goal season under Sutter. I'll miss the 07-08 langs, not this years' Langs. He used to be a hell of a hockey player. I'll still wear my Langenbrunner jersey to games with pride, but it was pretty clear that his time was up. We'll find out if his time was up, but his time with the Devils was clearly up. I'm with Manta and I think he's going to be a solid asset for a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 greene is worth more than langenbrunner or arnott. Unlikely as he's been horrible this year. I don't think Lou is going to trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Manta and I think he's going to be a solid asset for a contender. if they think they are getting a top 6 forward, they are sorely mistaken. langenbrunner can be effective as a 3rd liner and PKer.

Sarge18 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Unlikely as he's been horrible this year. I don't think Lou is going to trade him. When you factor in that Greene only makes 750k, it increases his value significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldply123 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 When you factor in that Greene only makes 750k, it increases his value significantly. Not when you are a terrible defenseman who is overrated as a puck-mover. He's a 3rd-pairing defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn01 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Its apparently going around that he waived his NTC, was told he was going and to pack his stuff, but is still waiting to hear where he is going. Why would LL hold info out on that? That the deal is just about complete but isnt there yet? Read other sites - its been everywhere. At least try to date reference the Twitter post if its older - rather than just throwing it up - its confusing some folks. ... and everyone is at the trigger with a situation like this. Yes sir.

DaneykoIsGod Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Re: The Langs trade talk ... TSNBobMcKenzie Teams said to be most interested and locales he's likely to waive for include Dallas, St. Louis and San Jose. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go easy until new info pops up. Which, in this case, will probably be only when it's confirmed he's been traded, then again to the team, then we wait for the conflicting reports of what's involved (see: Kovalchuk deal involving Clarkson, Palmieri, Josefson, Cormier).

ghdi Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Its apparently going around that he waived his NTC, was told he was going and to pack his stuff, but is still waiting to hear where he is going. Why would LL hold info out on that? That the deal is just about complete but isnt there yet? Do you really think they (meaning the Devils) say anything about a deal that wasnt done yet? My guess is that there is a preliminary deal done. Its not a conspiracy, its good business practice. He may also be trying to get a better deal for us by playing teams against each other in the bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokar Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Not when you are a terrible defenseman who is overrated as a puck-mover.

TSNBobMcKenzie Teams said to be most interested and locales he's likely to waive for include Dallas, St. Louis and San Jose. Stay tuned. I figured St. Louis wouldn't want another plugger with difficulty scoring; they have talented guys who are having issues putting the puck in the net as it is. They are having a rash of injuries, though - and you know JD is familiar with Langenbrunner. San Jose... how would he fit under the cap? They're close to it as-is.

Marshall Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) San Jose... how would he fit under the cap? They're close to it as-is. They need to move 665k to fit him in. Edited January 6, 2011 by Marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
