Devs64 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 One lousy period can easily cost this team a game. Not the first time this season. That's a sign of a low-class team that they are. No surprise though for a team loaded with second and third liners. They don't have a legit first line. No one can read and respond to Hall's plays. Exactly the same sh.t like with Jagr and Kovy. One star or simply talented player surrounded by mediocre teammates can't do anything. I wouldn't bash Cory for this brain fart. Most of the goals are not his fault. He can't can't bail out this pathetic defense every night. Our special teams are probably worst in the league. Does anybody know what's with Blandisi?

Needless to say though, the idea of "tanking" is controversial on these boards, but at this point it's hard to argue against it. Trade Cory, trade Zajac, lock up what's left of the core and rebuild. This "retooling" thing clearly isn't working. I'd say keep Severson, Auvitu, Santini, and Merill on d. As far as fowards, Hall, Henrique, Zacha, maybe Palmieri (he's only 25). Other than that I'm fine with trading just about anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I would be OK with trading either Henrique or Palmieri, depending on the return. I wouldn't consider them untouchable, but if the right offer came in...

Weekes Head Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Cory had no clue the game even started. I'm not one to bash the goalie, but that one goal alone was one of the top 10 most atrocious plays I've seen in the past 15 years. Worse yet, I still feel bad for the guy because he's not *allowed* to make any bone headed plays this year due to our piss poor defense and god awful special teams. I swear, it looked like three quarters of the team had no clue there was a game tonight....I think Doc McMullen rolled over in his grave tonight. God, that was bad. Sidebar. .I snagged a few extra posters if anyone is interested. I may have 2 extra pins as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never leave early but I understand why people are leaving. This is one of the if not worst home games of the season. Just horrible to watch. The crowd was a lot more engaged than I thought they'd be the last two periods, they completely lost me at 4-0. The only reason I didn't leave after the FIRST period is I hadn't seen a few of my friends since the holiday so I stuck around to talk to them.

Have you noticed that players we trade usually either become better on other teams or at least stay on the same level. It doesn't work our way. Given a pretty mediocre roster It's still mostly the system we are playing. I'm not saying we shouldn't trade anybody, but you can't expect one or two "right offers" to improve this team overnight.

All I said was I'd entertain offers on Palmieri and Henrique, I don't consider them untouchable. You quoted me and said I shouldn't expect improvement overnight from two trades, which wasn't part of what I said. Your statement that you expect to improve when you make trades, well obviously, that goes without saying. But that doesn't have any bearing on whether you make a deal for today. If there was a solid top 4 defenseman available with a couple years left on his deal, and someone came looking for Henrique or Palmieri, that's something you'd have to consider.

He's got a marginal skillset to begin with, he's a stay-at-home masher. If anything the one area the Devils have been good at is trading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
