Boucher, Wedgewood 1st + 2nd. The difference between us and Minnesota is that they have more to spare like Granlund, Coyle, Zucker, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 They play in the other Conference. But if one is fixated on the Minnesota Parise's and how they measure up against the Devils moving forward....and maybe Parise actually making a good hockey decision too, one could be worried.

SterioDesign Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 so when healthy... Henrique Zajac Kovalchuk Elias Loktionov Clarkson Ponikarovsky Zubrus D'Agostini Carter Josefson Bernier Sullivan Gionta Tedenby if all those guys could play at thei rpotential "at the same time" it could be good, but we havents seen that yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 C'mon. You can't tell me you don't want to see the Wild and/or Parise to fall flat on their face It would be nice but I don't really care either way. I'd prefer if he didn't win a Stanley Cup there, and actually I think this is a decent move in that direction (I don't think the Wild are that good right now, and they gave up quite a bit for Pominville and are in cap trouble next year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 C'mon. You can't tell me you don't want to see the Wild and/or Parise to fall flat on their face i can be 100% honest and say I wish the worst for the wild for the next 11 years. Butthurt? yup.

MadDog2020 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Welcome back to Sully, I've always liked him. Can anyone give me some insight on the guys the Rags got for Gaborik? Not familiar with them really. Hoping they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we see Teddy or Josefson back up this season, which still leaves us with too many forwards. And it doesn't even begin to take into account the cluster F on defense. Lou is like those extreme coupon shoppers this season...they will buy anything in bulk so long as it's cheap, regardless of the fact that they can't possibly use 123,000 boxes of Ajax in their lifetime.

Not familiar with them really. Hoping they suck. Dorset is just a fighter who likes to see over 200 min a season. Brassard is pretty decent offensively. Columbus is pretty good before this and they continue to get Beter, they have a big fan base and those fans deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Lol what an awful trade by the Caps. What is McPhee doing. Erat is aging and getting a lot of injuries, Foresberg is one hell of a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Lol what an awful trade by the Caps. What is McPhee doing. Erat is aging and getting a lot of injuries, Foresberg is one hell of a prospect. Sometimes GMs have to fight to live another day. Caps can still win the division, and if so, probably have a solid chance against Ottawa or Toronto. Just get in and you have a chance. But they need to get in, and McPhee has to get in to keep his job at the very least. The question is...couldn't you have gotten more than Erat for Forsberg?

NJDevs4978 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have to admit it's comical that Pominville and freaking Martin Erat went for king's ransom prices while Gaborik basically fetches back a dissapointing center and an injured forward (Dorsett isn't even playing this year) as the centerpieces.

It's probably a decent example of how important cap hit is to a players value to a team. Gaborik takes up $2-3 million more than the other guys next season.

Lou is like those extreme coupon shoppers this season...they will buy anything in bulk so long as it's cheap, regardless of the fact that they can't possibly use 123,000 boxes of Ajax in their lifetime. Tedenby's not coming back, but this idea that you can have too many players post-trade deadline is absurd. The Devils a week ago played Tim Sestito and Stephen Gionta as their 3rd and 4th line centers. Now we pick up one guy and we've got too many forwards? Depth is critical, and the Devils don't have it at the minor league level. Kostopoulos can fill in on a 3rd line in a pinch, but he shouldn't go anywhere near the top 2. As for the D, I can think of at least 4 years in the last 10 where the Devils rolled with 8 D, and another (last year) where they had 7 + a guy who was injured and returned for the playoffs.
