You might as well ask me if the Devils will land Semin. Everyone on this board knows the answer.

[Neb00rs]

eh, it's a complete mystery right now. His agent is being very cagey:

Dmitry Chesnokov ‏@dchesnokovGandler, Semin's agent, gives no hints whatsoever. The best I could get out of him was "Semin's priority is to sign with an NHL team."

On Alex Semin...

This is shaping up to be an interesting race, but one team very eager to get Semin under contract appears to be the NJ Devils...The Devils do need to add scoring in the wake of losing their captain.

fvck! This means we're not even interested.

Surprised it took him this long to start. Hell, he reported us in on Nash a few days ago.

You never know. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

He just throws sh!t at the wall and sees what sticks. If I was a rumor guy, I'd have us in on Semin because it makes sense considering we just lost one of our leading scorers.

Its just funny because the only ones that have us in on him are the rumor mongers right now.

ScottyNHLBeat @NHLBeat: Devils, Alex Semin in very deep talks regarding him signing in New Jersey.

Look at who follows him. If no one of merit follows him, assume that its BS. This is the website he runs http://nhlbeat.blogspot.ca/

My guess is its probably not got a lot of weight to it and he's regurgitating the rumor mongers like Єklund (2.3% accurate).

Well Alex Semin is one of his followers. Too bad it's a fake one.

well thats bad news... i could imagine Lou warning an agent to say exactly those words if someone ask lol

[CarpathianForest]

It would be cool to land Semin after all this speculation. When was the last time this board was right about landing a big fish? I think Kovy.

I see very few on here predicting we'll get Semin. I see people that want him or would be open to it.

Kovy most definitely. The rumors were substantial.

[CarpathianForest]

Nothing is verified until Potvin gets in on it.

[JohnnyP.]

Semin should be welcomed aboard

It's a numbers thing. If Volch gets traded then we'll be getting Semin. See they both wear 28. I knew we were getting Kovy when Pikairanen was carted off.

[MadDog2020]

I can see the headlines now: Lou Fills Hole with Semin.
