  1. Today
  2. I mentioned recently the Friesen story about Stevens in 03 and that this team needs someone to hard nosed to hold them to a standard. This interview at around 21:36 just more about what a competitor Stevens was. This team is too soft.
  3. I also thought he would be a core player for the Devils. But it really is a testament to how far this organization has come. Objectively, there wasn't too much to suggest that Santini was going to be a successful NHLer, but compared to what we were used to at the time, he looked really solid.
  4. Ah, okay. If the Devils win, maybe they should just keep wearing them.
  5. Oh man I remember he threw a Stevens-esque hit in... it might've been training camp. But I was hyped for him, thought he'd be laying people out in the NHL.
  6. Just got the new Hockey News Future Watch issue. While they still have our group of under 21 year old talent (includes L Hughes and Nemec) ranked pretty high at 8th overall I was surprised how low they have Casey (93rd overall). Hameenaho is 74th
  7. No, it was always planned to wear them once more this season.
  8. Why is that? Because of the auction?
  9. They are supposed to be wearing the stadium series jerseys tomorrow, it's the only reason I'm even going.
  10. AHL is more for developing players rather than to win the Calder Cup. Devs have graduated Holtz, Nemec, Daws, Shmid, Zetterlund, Shango in the last several years. Some teams do try to win the cup and add higher talent veterans-NJ usually doesn't do that so much. Dineen has done a good job with what he has-which is not much-especially this year.
  11. Yesterday
  12. Last? Isn't Dineen their coach, and wasn't he doing such an amazing job, to the extent that they were considering possibly calling him up to be our next coach for the big club?
  13. Semi-related, but that’s another reason why I’m glad Toffoli’s gone. Apart from the fact that he didn’t fit, he’ll be 32 by the time next season starts. I don’t want to think about what his decline would have looked like.
  14. Yeah Tampa knew when to get out. Palat’s had moments here, but his best days are clearly behind him.
  15. Can only imagine he’s going to continue to decline in the coming years, how depressing.
  16. Me looking at draft prospects If the Devils continue to lose at their current rate, I would gladly take this guy. He'll need to drop a bit for that to be possible.
  17. I did not think going into this season my first post on here would be about a lotto pick for the Devils, but these are the games we play, so here we go. Under zero circumstances should the Devils consider trading this top 10 pick for the goalies we know might be available. Saros, is going to be 29, he is 2 years older than Corey was, he is also 4 inches shorter, I am not touching him for a 1st that is a top 10 pick. Now if the Devils were a playoff team and he also already had a contract, it would be a different situation, but combine those two important details and it's a firm, no on him. Markstrom, LOL, are you serious????? Not a fn chance they trade a top 10 pick for him, Cal had their chance, their owner sh!t his pants and killed the deal, unless the price is not much, I am not touching his contract, and hell no for a top 10 pick. The two young former 1st rd picks from Nahville and Florida. The Russian is interesting, I don't think he is available, but if they chose Saros, he would make me think about it, while utilimately saying no, and offering a 2025 first instead. The Florida USA kid is a firm no, his off ice troubles, combined with everything else, again I would be interested in taking him, not no chance for the cost. Unless the Isles decide to rebuild, I see no other goalies I am even thinking of trading that pick for, now if there any other choices out there, I am listening. Is Ottawa going to trade the GM's cousin, he I would trade that pick for, not many other players will be worth that pick unless teams implode and players are asking to be dealt. The draft is complicated, a probable star going 1st, then a lot of really good defenseman available, plus some decent forwards. I look forward to digging into the players, and seeing where out lotto luck plus the rest of the season ends up. Be well all, and all is not lost, DH getting hurt, Marino and Siegs regressing and Jack's injury torpedoed this season, Luke and Simon are the goods, we need a proper non moron HC, and a GM who decides not to be asleep, and things are still looking very good here.
  18. I've watched Celebrini play a couple of games the last couple of weeks (BU played my old grad school Northeastern) he SHOULD be Consensus #1! My only quibble he is Jack and Nico sized. So if the Devils strike gold 3 times do they take him? I'm also not sure if the Devils should trade 1 OA for a goaltender. if it happens please don't screw it up!
  19. You can never have enough dmen... but they also are a crapshoot to develop plus extended development time. Barring a 1OA lotto pick, I'd be OK trading it for the right goalie.
  20. Utica is in last place. It’s probably just to get Daws playing time.
  21. Pay futures to get someone else to take him is the only option and it's not worth it. He's useful in the playoffs but you gotta get there.
  22. I'd love to see the NHL adopt exactly what the PWHL is doing with the "gold plan" to determine draft order. Just imagine how much more fun a game like last night's Sharks/Blackhawks game would be? Anyway... here's The Athletic's consensus big board, I only snipped the top 15 players.

  23. Daws, Wotherspoon Assigned to Utica Goodbye for now, other Nico.
  24. ‘96 was rough because in addition to coming off a Cup win, all the Devils had to do was beat the Senators AT HOME and they were in. They even had a 2-1 lead in that game before losing 5-2. Given the expectations, this season is a rotten one, but at least this team has been dead for weeks. That ‘96 team led us on right through being up 2-1 in that final game. re: trading this year’s first-round pick, I’m obviously not opposed to it, but at the same time, Devils are absolutely going to need some cheap ELC players in the near future. Something to keep in mind.
  25. Dougie also just had a career year last season. And he’s played on some good teams.
