RizzMB30 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Link to TG's blog "Devils coach John MacLean liked what he saw from that line. Clarkson also scored a power-play goal in the second period on a nice set-up from Zubrus." Sounds like Clarky,Zubs, and Josefson like playing together and have some chemistry...and their scoring! I realize it's early, but it's interesting to read about stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devs4LIFE Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I definitely want to see Josefson play in a preseason game so I can get an idea of what type of player he is. Sounds like everyone compliments his hockey IQ, I just question whether or not he is strong enough to make the jump at such a young age. In comparison JJ is listed as 6'0 190lbs (It is possible that he gained weight over the summer) and Parise is listed at 5'11 190lbs, so Josefson should probably add about 5 more pounds of muscle.

halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Too bad I think Zubrus has no chance of staying on the team, baring a miracle. Edited September 20, 2010 by halfsharkalligatorhalfman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can make the jump, there's no doubt about that. It's just a matter of how effective he will be and if it's worth wasting a year of his eligibility by playing him more than 9 games or whatever the amount is. I don't think it's worth it. It sounds like he'll be a great center very soon, and most of the compliments he's gotten from Johnny Mac and Clarkson and others stress that he thinks the game well and has a mature playing style for his age. These are things that will be put to much better use when he is fully adjusted to the American game and is more prepared physically. I say give him a look in the NHL, let him get his feet wet in a few games, and then let him go down and have a solid year in the AHL before he makes the jump next season.

You're probably right but like what everyone has been saying, he could very well make the team out of necessity. The way I see it is if he is as hockey smart as everyone says then the transition from the euro leagues to the NHL might not be so difficult, the speed of the game would be the hardest thing to adjust to.

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Based on what I read, the following players are catching other players attention. Eric Gelinas Alexander Urbom Mattias Tedenby Jacob Josefson Tim Sestito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 No supprise, the guy is so smart and reads the game so well. He makes smart simple plays, but can use his skill when its required. hopefully with some time in the gym he wil be able to use his size to his advantage as well. Still want Tedenby to sped a year in the AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Gelinas Alexander Urbom Mattias Tedenby Jacob Josefson Tim Sestito Interesting. He's be a cheap center if he can make the cut. Saves a year of JJ's eligibility.

Pepperkorn Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Is his name Yacob Yosefson? Edited September 20, 2010 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheprodigy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Is his name Yacob Yosefson? I remember in an interview after he was drafted with Matt Laughlin he said he didn't mind if he was called Yacob or Jacob. Not sure what the other players/coaches are calling him.

Devil Fan Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Ilya pa Zajac (there is no Zajac IN FRENCH) ELA (Elias Arnott Langs) Zujoca (Zubie-Josefson-Clarkson) Leblond-Pelley-Zharkov Rolston is on LTIR and our cap problem is solved and I don't want Tedenby playing on the 4th line minutes on a nightly basis.

Quinn01 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 yakov smirnoff? ugh my jokes and comebacks are getting worse. i need a break In Soviet Russia, Puck shoots you. No, on a serious note, I did hear that you should pronounce Josefson's name like Yakob but this is America, and if I want to butcher your name like the rest of the foreigners in the NHL, I have every damn right! I think it even says that in the constitution or something like that.... I wouldnt mind seeing Yakob or Mattias get a shot. I think they both have the skills to back up their non-existent English. I kid, I kid. The boys do have skills.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
