Subban playin good after slow start. He must NOT play offensive game, too bad no other devils defenseman can do this without Hamilton on ice. Sharkannens are lost. And Zacha must NOT be the center for Mercer and Holtz.

and lets watch some more Nico games. He was pretty good overall and had 2 goals + (+0.1 sec goal and "goalie" pad goal). If only one was сount or even both - no one would worry. He shows quite good game.

Sounds like a truer remark. We have some crazy Subban sitter Sterio, who cant live with subban`s dirty play, but Smith did slash his own partner. And after Hughes and Mukhamadullin draft, Hamilton sign, Smith must adapt, meet new challenges and requirements. I didn`t like his skate and his foot work. Everybody make mistakes(ask Severson, he can write the book about it), and I think he is better one on one player this year, but is it enough for him? Is he a player who can play second pair minutes? For now he can`t. Is he will? Is he is a player with his skating and size to play against good second line players? If he is not top-4 defenseman, do we need in him? I still can`t ask on this question before we will see what Shakir and Luke are as NHL players. I don`t like Smith for now as a concept, but I don`t think he is worser Siegentaler overall. I`m watchin every AHL game now and I think only Okhotiuk is look like a defenseman who may be can try himself in NHL. Bahl is not. He is slow, he makes mistakes with his stick work. So, Smith has his time to develope and grow on himself, but for now he is not in position where he will have every opportunity for trust and for makin high priced mistakes. Devils defense is weakness now, and weknesses must be fixed. There are no more time for "we are young, we are growing as a players and the team". Devils starting to compete, they can not goin to the playoff this year, but they must understand who will play this and that kind of role. And players without clear identity must clear their identity or find a job on the other ship. I like Sharangovich, but he must do something with his puck work. If he wants to be top-6 player, he must score, if he wants to be bottom six player - he must control. If Smith wants to be top-4 defenseman in the devils organisation - he must to play much better with the puck and under pressure, be a much better blue liner, both I think. He is easy to play against and it`s a big problem.

silly overreaction? I think I`m not the man who overreact here. btw he's not coping at the moment.

How you can name something "overreaction" when you dont know what kind of "down" that was and you heard it from words of other man?

I dont tell Deleo has real NHL future, I just tell he is good enough to have some calls. Sometimes things work out later, you can ask Coleman. And Deleo`s production isnt surprise for AHL. He is very solid player for that level. More solid 200 foot player than Holtz for now. Anyway its about injury reserve.

great to see comets win the game where their opponent were better. Holtz has a lot to grow, great he is good in what he was picked for.I really like Deleo game. Hope he will have some bottom line minutes in NHL. Briann Gibbons vibes from his game. Holtz has visible big potential to play NHL, Okhotiuk had real potential to play NHL, the biggest problem for him is devils are full of left defensemen, Thompson, Daws and Schmid, Foote are look like may be\may be not future NHL players. And I really like Thompson game. But there are some questions still.

Good game by the whole squad. Penguins didn`t play weak game, but devils didn`t sleep. Hope Mcleod will work on his shot some day. He can be 20 goals scorer, but his shot is really svck. Anyway he is very good bottom line player.

I heard he is our next Blake Coleman. Who did play in USHL in his age. With 1g 1 a in his first season in 23 games. When he was 25.

Pure\poor Severson.

LGD!

Nope. He is healthy. SKA is full of good players and he has no contract for next season. This could be reason why they did not put him on the ice. In two games he was pretty good for bottom line player, but their coach loves to play his top lines.

Shakir vs Traktor. all actions, good and bad. Watchin it until the end. 14:24 TOI, 3 shots, +1 Shakir Mukhamadullin #85 21.10.2021 SAL vs CSKA all actions, good and bad, offensive and defensive 14:01 TOI, 1 assist, +1, 1 shot, 2 hits

5th goal - 10th point (17th game)

We have one center with contract for his potential. I really like how Nico play now, but is he worth his money? Did he worth this money before? let’s see how much points Jack will produce this season. Because he did produce not so very much. Before season will end, I cants say nothing. If he will end this season with 1.0 pt per game in more than 50 games, I don’t think 10 mil is too much. If he will produce 35 points in 35/50+ games, 8 mil is too much.

Good game from Talvitie, Thompson. Holtz is a sneaky bastard. That was fun how Foote brother did try to not meet on the ice. Great game from Shmidt.

Smith must go to gym and work with hus bamby legs.

4th game, 3rd goalie. LGD!

Utica win, Flynn and Talvitie score, Bahl, Wotherspoon and Walsh made assits. Shmidt 25\26 saves.

to snabby? he is second best u-21 KHL player, and Usov(first one) did play top-6 minutes(3 min per game between them, Grits is 0.56 ppg, Usov is 0.7), Grits play on the third or fourth line.

watchin Utica game now. Utica leads in shots 16-3.

Gritsyuk #81 assist

Typical Severson. This is great he is not our number 1 defenseman now.

This is a great moment when I did watch Mercer before draft, after the draft full season in Q and playoff after. And now he score his first nhl goal. It`s like my own child I didnt have before. I was really involved and now feel very happy. Cant imagine how you guys feel yourself as fathers. I think it`s a great feeling.

Cant imagine how 26 yo goon feel himself in the moment he finally play his nhl game. It`s a great moment for him. LGD!
