dmann422 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Still can't see severson on the team day 1- Could Lou be willing to start he season with only 6 defensmen so he has enough room for all these forwards? Just to give him more time to sort it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's totally out of here yet. yea you're correct and Lou actually was quoted in saying there is no gurantee that Harrold is sent down should he clear waivers. (im at work so i don't have access to TGs twitter where he has the link to his Fire and Ice blog but its in there i promise i just saw it ).

sundstrom Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Am I correct with thinking that Lou does not have to send Harold down even if he clears waivers. I don't think he's totally out of here yet. that is correct. but if he wanted to send him down, this was necessary. lou's left with the following moves (assuming that merrill is 100% safe and janssen is 100% sent down AND no trades are made): keep harrold and send down severson Keep severson and send down harrold Keep them both, send down bernier. do not sign gomez or carter. send one of the defensemen down send bernier down sign carter OR gomez those are his decisions barring a trade.

Daniel Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well, one less forward to worry about. Happy to see he landed an NHL gig. Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice 3s4 seconds ago Carter signs with Wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sad to see Carter go. I really liked him. And he seemed to REALLY hate the Rags, which is always a plus in my book. Better options now, though. Best to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonginator11 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sad to see Carter go. I really liked him. And he seemed to REALLY hate the Rags, which is always a plus in my book. He also always seemed to score big goals against Lundqvist. Nothing but best wishes for him too...except when they play us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better options now, though. Best to him. Me too. I wish I took the time to find him yesterday to talk to him. Always a funny conversation. I always thought he deserved more ice time. If you are gonna ice Zubrus that many minutes than Carter at some point should have gotten some more ice. He's a complete player and has some finish to his game. Oh well, really glad he got a job on his home state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 dang. i think we all knew it probably wasn't gonna work out with Carter. i loved that guy, he was so aggressive, a good guy to have on your team. best of luck to him if anything though, this will only make Lou's decision a little easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) We made a mistake with Carter Just curious why you think that? The team wanted him, but he turned down a contract offer. Then they liked what Tootoo brought over him. Ryan Carter was a decent 4th liner, but was always overrated by fans due to his 2012 playoff run against the Rangers, the fact that he fought from time to time, and for the simple fact that he was never asked to do too much like Gionta or Bernier, so fans never had the chance to be disappointed in him.

Triumph Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The Devils didn't have a spot for Carter. I'm not upset to see him go just because it means that the Devils must have trust in Matteau to be able to replace those minutes if there's injuries, and there won't be any blockage to Matteau getting on the roster next year (well apart from the inevitable buyout of either Zubrus or Ruutu). Just curious why you think that? The team wanted him, but he turned down a contract offer. Then they liked what Tootoo brought over him. Ryan Carter was a decent 4th liner, but was always overrated by fans due to his 2012 playoff run against the Rangers, the fact that he fought from time to time, and he was never asked to do to much like Gionta or Bernier, so fans never had the chance to be disappointed in him. He was asked to do a lot in 2011-12 and he flopped miserably. I mean in the sense that he kept the Devils from true awfulness he was adequate, but he was a 3rd line center for several weeks when the team was terrible and he was not really playing well. Then he was used as a 4th liner and scored some huge goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 And TG reporting that Tootoo is getting a contract. yea just saw that.. didn't get to see any of him in the preseason but he has a likeable side to him. still have Gomez now but obviously we'd have to make room to sign both him and Tootoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Pride 26 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Carter is the best former Devil crunch time performer the Wild have ever signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 TG also tweeted: "Carter said it's possible he could have worked things out with the Devils, but there was no guarantee today that they would sign him..." I hope this isn't a case of Lou dragging his feet just a little too long with him. I hope that Lou gave him a hint that he should take another offer because I would hate for Lou to actually want him but after all this time, he signs with another team.
