Daniel Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 He won't be back with the Devils next year unless he takes a significant pay-cut, which won't happen since someone out there will offer a better deal. Team is in penny-pinching mode now, and will cut as much salary as possible, especially if Zach signs what will be a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Pride 26 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I could see him back. Seems like a loyal foot soldier after Lou stuck with him through the concussion problems. Then again, this is going to be his last pay day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 with all these defense men i wonder what happens next season Fayne A-Train Tallinder Greene Zidlicky Salvador Larsson Coming up Urbom Merrill Gelinas My guess is either Salvador leaves or someone gets traded to they can re-sign him. I think Urbom's time to come up is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My guess is either Salvador leaves or someone gets traded to they can re-sign him. I think Urbom's time to come up is here. Who do you think gets moved, if it all though? I mean, it's a really tough choice with the way Greene has been playing. A-Train, while he's had good moments, has been the weakest link of the D corps. His contract and age make him hard to move though. Zid isn't going anywhere after only being traded for a few months ago and having been getting 20+mins/game. I guess if Tallinder is still hurt, that leaves room, but I think Tally is a real solid D, but he's nothing spectacular. Fayne's too young to trade when we have a very old blueline like we do now. Bottom line, who goes, if anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Tallinder is disposable IMO, hes a solid dman and a great teammate but he does not offer anything more than what Fayne and Greene gives us.

capo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think we have to wait and see before we give him another contract. He has had a great playoff but his contract can't be solely on this playoff. The Devils have a ton of young D coming. I'd say we have to measure some other things. Money might be a big deal for this team in the coming seasons...

Bottom line, who goes, if anyone? I definitely think A-Train is hurting right now. I thought he had a good season. I feel that Tallinder is great for Larsson and Urbom. Greene may be the guy to go, or they may just let Salvador go. They have to do something though, there's too many young players defensemen coming up (feels good to say that!)

I would say the same if he didn't lay one or two monster hits a game.. He doesn't go for those big hits if he's really hurting Edited May 23, 2012 by Onddeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 29th Pick Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think this is Sal's swan song...he's gonna be 37 next year and as a total free agent I see Lou letting him do as he pleases, kind of like when Lou let Bruce Driver walk away. It's just time to get younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't go for those big hits if he's really hurting You don't need to be able to move to hit someone right in front of you. Right now, Volch really doesn't look any better than Vitali Vishnevski (rip). Just another one dimensional guy that only hits and Volch was so much more than that in Ottawa.

peteyvegas Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I was hoping he was gone. But the way he hesitated and let the defender skate by to get a shot on goal last night--he may have started a new career as a scoring dman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's nice to see a smart player play like he's got nothin' to lose. I imagine it's very liberating. Some of the nastiness he's letting fly now is so pleasant to see. He's playing SMART not cautious -- very very big difference. Once you get into THAT groove, life must be sweet...
