Maybe my faith is misplaced but I cant see Ray allowing the Devil's to be part of a deal where they get a sh!tty return or get exploited by other teams. He seems so clued on on what the new NHL is about and what it takes to succeed that I can't see him getting worked over by any other GM. If the Devil's are involved in this they are getting something out of it or its not happening.

I think Chris Ryan pointed out that out of the 30 or so players who filed for arbitration last year only one player went on to finish the process. The rest were signed in advance. Last Devil to go this route was Palms. Signed well before the deadline. I think we will be ok. Would be loathed to lose either of them.

Nosen and Coleman both filing for arbitration.

Jesus, that's horrific.

Covered this a while ago. Answer is yes. Would still have liked to have kept Larsson if that was an option. But it wasn't.

The Yotes took Liam Kirk at 189, British born , British trained. Brings a tear to the eye.

Well deserved let's hope the rebuild continues and he can add some more hardware to his CV. If I was Hall and I ever won the Stanley Cup I would 100% spend my day with the cup in Edmonton.

Haha, yeah I used to play for the Blizzards and lived in Reading. The new leauge structure makes it even harder to follow anything outside the Elite League. The league structure in the UK had always been it's downfall.

I have always been disappointed that a team hasn't been back to the UK. I went to the King's Vs Ducks game and it sold out straight away. Who's your local team? Constantly going bankrupt makes me think it's Bracknell lol , but it could actually be any of them outside the Elite league.

It's fvcking hilarious how other countries seem so fascinated by it and over here most people couldn't really care either way.

Yeah rugby is second I would say, certainly in terms of team sports.

Gotta get the sport recognised in the country. More success = more investment ( in theory). Plus we replace cricket as the countrys third most popular sport!!!!!!!

I believe Marchand also became Ratfacebastard.

I want the devil's to draft Liam Kirk.

Decided to unfollow Mastracco on twitter. The only tweets I have seen from her related to hockey ( there rest have been arguing with fans or about puppies) have been about David Quinn and the Rangers. I had a look back through her feed and there are two mentions of Lou and the islanders and a solatary post about Yakovlev , so maybe it's just he case these aren't finding their way into my feed, but honneslty I don't feel like she gives two fvcks, so what's the point?
