It wouldn’t be so bad if he turned into Joe Nieuwendyk.

I bought a Hughes sweater for my son. It was easier to get than the RR's. He likes this sweater and I don't hate it at all, I'm just not a fan of adding a black jersey. I think the red and green were fine as an alternate sweater. But I can't wait to see what these look like on the ice.

Let’s Go Devils!

Let's Go Devils! And Holtz!

I was there and I was pretty impressed with the crowd. A few empty seats in every section but otherwise full. Not bad for a Tuesday night game against an expansion club.

I heard that Kessel wants out of PHX. I’d rather the Devils look into that rather than Tarasenko if Fitz is planning another move. I know it would cost more to acquire him but he’d look nice on the first line.

I was surprised that I hadn't heard his name today at all. I just assumed that meant he may already have had a deal with BOS in place. I think that would be a great pickup for us. Can we get him and Saad or have I now crossed the line after the fine day we had today?

He didn't say there were rumors about it, just that he thought we should look into him. He also said the same thing to me about Dunn.

My kid follows hockey overall more than I do now and he's mentioned the Devils pursuing this guy.

But who's going to score for this team? It seems like almost all of their forwards are "bottom six" players according to the small blurbs I've read. I hope the Rags don't end up with Giordano. I know a few fans who are already thrilled with the prospect of acquiring him for Strome then adding Eichel. And why the fvck would SEA eat some of that salary?

My kid just told me that the Devils traded for Ryan Graves from COL for our 2nd and Maltsev. He was pretty happy about this. I haven't seen anything yet. Wow, 6'5 " 220lbs

Unfortunately I think there’s going to be a few teams who would want Coleman. I read a blurb from Brooks saying he would be a perfect fit for what the rags are trying to do as far as adding grit and skill goes. Not that he’s going there, but I think Coleman’s going to be sought after. I would love him back here.

Dam, he would be a fine pick up for a team like ours that desperately needs a top tier defenseman, if we could get him to sign an extension. Not sure what we'd have to offer to get him. edit: Subban comes of the books after this season so offer him Subban's money plus another mil if it'll keep him here. I think he's only going to be 27 so you can offer him something long term too. I know I'm just dreaming though.

I don't post much but I follow every GDT. Sometimes part of being a fan is the suffering.

If the Devils are making this trade I would rather it was for a promising young defenseman. I know we need forward help but we are really hurting on D, even though I hope we see Bahl, Reilly, and Vukojevic get a chance next season.

Bummed about losing Zajac. Good luck to both of them.

They never make it easy. I took a chance and bet $50 the Devils would win outright after the second period since they've played well against BOS. It's like they were doing their best to give my money away. I'm glad I didn't bet it giving 1.5 because god forbid we score another goal. We just play well against BOS this year.

I read about this today and I admit in the most petty way it made me happy. I'm still bitter he left but man that contact is looking bad. Thankfully our bad contract retired and went to Russia. Better them than us.

I love these RR sweaters but I’m partial to teams that use colors other than black. I do understand why the Devils made the change and I had no problem with it, especially since red and white seemed to be our primary colors and black was a secondary color. Except when black is a primary color like the Steelers or Raiders or the Spurs, those I like. I didn’t like when PHI came out with a black sweater and I hated the Buffaslug uniforms and I wasn’t even a fan of the LAK changing their colors but I understood why they did it when they traded for Gretzky. But I also like the old 80s Buccaneers and Patriots and Broncos uniforms as opposed to their newer ones. Especially the Bucs, they had like the Bad News Bears problem where all the other color schemes were taken so they went with what was left. I love the Swashbuckler.

I know you guys are (partly) kidding, but I'm not sure the Rags would be automatic. I wish I could remember the player (it may have even been Eichel), but the idea was that the Rags would have to give up K Miller or Fox, plus Kakko or Lafrenier, and some other goodies. And then they'd have to pay him and I don't think they have a lot of cap room. Hopefully if he gets traded it's out west I also remember reading that LA has the kind of pieces to make a deal work.

I believe the Devils have gotten 5 out of 6 pts against the Bruins so far this season.

I think I'd still rather have Butcher over Tennyson. But he is definitely moving towards being expendable.

Let's Go Devils!

And don’t forget the “our team spends no money” people. I know we have the cap room but I like the fact we’re not throwing out dumb contracts. I don’t know of any players the Devils could have signed but didn’t because they were too cheap. I’d like to see that list.

Not bad for a 4th rounder:
