So in other news, several writers from "The Hockey News" compared Pettersson to Gretzky. They essentially said (not an exact quote): If you took Pettersson and put him back in Gretzky's place, he'd put up the same numbers as the Great One. And they wonder why their publication is dying.

I actually haven't seen much animosity towards Zacha since the last game - then again, I don't check FB or /r/Devils very often. He looked okay, I thought. Not going to kill him for efforts like that. That said, still must see some production soon.

The bolded sure sounds familiar.

Agreed, I mean he's clearly got the Kennedy hair and bone structure going for him.

One of my favorite shows, absolutely one of the best. The early seasons, 1-5, are absolute gold.

You know I keep reading how intelligent Lovejoy is, but he makes so many fvcking stupid plays. Why clear that over the glass? He had plenty of time. fvcking idiot.

Good thing they gave Marty that Jersey, I'm sure he'll hang that on his wall with all the other trophies lol

Zacha is back with the big club Here's hoping he shows something.

LGD Please show up.

Fair point. Toronto probably still needs to clear some salary so.. Terrible Proposal Alert: Butcher / McLeod / Santini / 1st for Kadri / Nylander / Zaitsev (no retention) Tear it apart, boys.

Yeah thanks I think you got what I was attempting to say - I'm certainly not disparaging Butcher or calling him a bad player. I'm not basing my comments on his recent player, either. I just don't think he'll ever be a 'complete' player - and, again, that's not a slight on him but it's just not his game. He's an offensive defenseman / PP QB. My proposals on this website have shown that historically I haven't got a fvcking clue what I'm talking about when it comes to trade values and all that, but would you really need to add a 1st to Butcher for an unsigned Nylander? Maybe I'm way off base but I thought something like Butcher + Prospect + 3rd for Nylander gets it done.

So if anyone is in need of a reclamation project in Carey Price.. hit me up. Need goals in the worst kinda way.

Let me throw another name out there and see what the consensus is - if Toronto asks for Butcher as the major piece in a trade do you do it? I think I would. I like Butcher a lot, but I think his game has some serious limitations that might not go away.. I'm going to guess the majority here would not want to trade him.

If this slump continues through Thanksgiving I think Hynes is a dead man walking, for better or worse. You can't fire the players, unfortunately.
