Weekes Head Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 According to the NY Post: WAIVE GOOD-BYE TO ZYUZIN? By MARK (N)Єverson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 2, 2002 -- Unable to deal Andrei Zyuzin, the Devils are said to be waiving the defenseman and his $1.05 million salary. Zyuzin has played one game this season and was linked to trade talks for Florida's Valeri Bure. Acquired from Tampa for Josef Boumedienne, Sascha Goc and the rights to Anton But on Nov. 9, 2001, the 24-year-old can be claimed by any team; if he clears, he could be sent to Albany at full salary. http://www.nypost.com/sports/devils/24715.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I wonder if that's true . It doesn't make much sense considering your team's D situation after the top 6. My guess is (N)Єverson made it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I really dont think this is true because Lou can ship out Z for a draft pick like someone stated before. Lou can definitely get something in return for Z, there's no doubt about that. Wow, 800 posts. Yicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 IMO, another fricken gaff by lou. couldn't even get a bag of pucks?? total BS. 3 prospects for someone they've never had faith in?? albelin our 7th d-man? couldn't unload his sorry ass too. that move couldn't be all lou's fault, or was it? vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brylin18 Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 why do people constantly harp on the three prospects that went to TB in the zyuzin trade.....its like crying over trading three pierre dagenais's for one andrei zyuzin.....the prospects sucked....jesus christ.

Triumph Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I don't get it either brylin. These guys sucked when we had them.. does anyone remember how awful Sascha Goc was? We traded two 7th d and an unknown prospect for Zyuzin. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 It's pretty simple, guys. Some folks hate Lou and look for any reason to bash him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastdevfan Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Zyuzin was claimed off waivers by the Minnesote Wild. I hope he doesn't win the Norris someday. I would rather have a bag of pucks instead of nothing. This will come back to haunt the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Zyuzin was claimed off waivers by the Minnesote Wild. I hope he doesn't win the Norris someday. I would rather have a bag of pucks instead of nothing. This will come back to haunt the Devils. If Zyuzin even comes close to winning the Norris in his career, I will hop over the boards at the CAA wearing nothing but red socks (much like that idiot in Calgary did earlier this year).

Weekes Head Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 Haha Z-man that's a classic....can I use that as my new signature? I mean, considering Lamoriello is set in his ways that Albelin *doesn't* suck, what's the point of using it as my signature anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Seriously, the chances of Zyuzin winning the Norris are slim to none. And Slim just left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 It's pretty simple, guys.Some folks hate Lou and look for any reason to bash him. I hate no one. But if a devil, or devil brass screws up, I point out my opinion. And praise him when they are good. I'll bet none of you were saying these prospects suck wqhen they were here. This deal was from its inception was stupid, uncalculated, and thank God its over. I believe Lou had a very off year last year, as did the devils. That deal was one of a few. vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Haha Z-man that's a classic....can I use that as my new signature? Be my guest, RD..... Although I'm pretty sure no one needs to see that actually happen! :wave: It'd be worse than some of the scenes in the Jackass movie....

HellOnICE Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Yea Boumedienne and Goc ARE fvckING ALL STARS. Gimme a break. this was a salary dump. 1 Million Less. I wish we had kept him, but maybe Lou is looking to add payroll (I wish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
