Wait why was the Salmela trade the defining trade of the franchise?


We became salmela free. Who wants that disease.

What choices are we left with.... Trades would hurt our depth. If this guy can replace some of what we lost when Parise went and joined his boy band in minny, I say do it short term. We need to lock up Zajac and others long term, so that should be our new priority.

I was obviously kidding with that comparison, yet i still dont think its a good selling point no. I really dont. Brodeur is past his prime big time. You dont sign somewhere based on the past success of a 40 years old man at the end of his career, cmon now. Like i said if a guy sign for more than 3 years he wont even be around by the end of his contract.

To play with kovalchuk is a good selling point, the guy is a beast and hes still among the top players, brodeur isnt anymore.


I think the selling point is the fact that the Devils have been a competitive team every year since the 1995. I don't remember off hand, but have we made the playoffs every year but 2? Think of a team like Toronto that has been around a lot longer, but has not had the recent success we have.

In Topic: Where can the Devils find a D for F swap?

I agree that Stewart could be a great pickup here. I'm an avid Semin supporter as well, but I don't think it'll happen in NJ. SMantzas's post is the lineup of my dreams, but I don't think Semin's contract will look anything like that.

Also, what about the Wild as a trade partner? Right now, my instinct says I want to be no part of anything that makes their team better, but aside from Suter, I'm under the impression that their D needs some work. They have a couple decent prospects that may be good for NJ. Who knows how cheap Setoguchi would be, too. Although I bet they aren't willing to get rid of him,


Screw them, tampering punks!
