gardenstatepkwy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Todd Cordell @ToddCordell3m #NJDevils have placed Cam Janssen on waivers. Looks like the team won't carry an enforcer to start the year.

snartly Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I REALLY hope we try to pick up Tyrell or Emmerton. Would definitely help with more depth (why not have some more?) And a better prospect pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucifersDog Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I can't imagine any team picking up Janssen so he will be in Albany. That's too bad. I would rather see him gone from the NJ and Albany Devils. As stated no surprise. I would trade scoring for enforcement any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Tao waived as well I remember when some people around here thought he was the second coming to Brian Rafalski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I remember when some people around here thought he was the second coming to Brian Rafalski he was pretty much the only good player during MacLean's disastrous start so it didn't seem crazy at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravityFat Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 tao was a great devil type, i think he would fit in if he came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I remember when some people around here thought he was the second coming to Brian Rafalski This was before Urbom, Gelinas, and Merrill looked promising. It was also before the days of Larsson and Severson. It's amazing how much fans will overrate their prospects. I was somewhat guilty of this for a while. "He almost played as well as Subban in the AHL plus he's a Devil so he's gotta be good! Who cares if he was a couple years older than PK at the time." If the Devils improve their offensive prospects over the next few years, hopefully we'll be saying similar things about someone like Boucher.

DevsMan84 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Also Tao came in at the time when we lost Paul Martin to free agency and the devils didn't really have any "offensive defenseman" who were NHL ready at the time. Also I wouldn't put Paul too highly on the list of the most skilled offensive defenseman so there was a bit of a void between 2007 and 2011 when we were used to our defense contributing very little offense overall. It wasn't until the past couple of seasons where we are finally seeing producing from the back end so it was natural that Tao was greatly overrated at the time. Also I really wonder if Tao would have contributed more if it wasn't for his freak injury during practice about 15 or so games in and we never saw him for the rest of the season.

lazer Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) tao > gelinas hah, ok all i saw out of gelinas was bombs away and out of position i understand Tao was overrated at the time cause we were needing a pmd. it seems PDB wants shots from the point so... maybe sal will have a good year hah edit on gelinas by out of position i meant his puck handling is stink Edited September 30, 2013 by lazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilNurn Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I met Tao last year at a Syracuse-Albany game when I was living in Syracuse. Real nice guy, told him I was a big fan and a lot of us were. He seemed pretty happy being the captain down in the AHL. Of course everyone wants to play NHL level but could be much worse.
