I would love to see Henrique get dealt this offseason. I believe that Henrique's value is slowly declining, and would love to see Shero deal him out for a solid second pairing d-man and possibly a pick. Henrique has had great moments in a Devils sweater, but I don't think he fits with what the Devils are trying to do in the future. I also think that he has a much better reputation around the league compared to his actual skill level, which would allow the devils to get a decent return for him.

I like Henrique a lot. It would really depend what is coming back. He is not the answer to our problems, but as a 20-25 goal, "bottom of your top 6" guy, he definitely has some value. I wouldn't be so quick to deal him.

That being said, we have a glaring need for a stud defenseman.

Was just watching some Zacha highlights and man is his shot a big +++. Anyone think he'll take Cammalleri's spot as the triggerman on PP2? He really thrived there in juniors

Have you skewered those HF Phailures fans as requested? [emoji6]

Hah, I dont want to make this about HF, but I've been warned by mods there several times. I can't outright come at people; more like subtle pot shots that still make them go gaga.

That's why I don't post there. The over-moderation is ridiculous. Hot takes deserve to be skewered full stop. Anyway, given the Zacha hot takes over there and his performance in development camp so far, pot shot away because reading their garbage takes did damage to my eyes lol.

There's a thread on HF asking us to post our teams top 25 draft picks in history. I know it's been said a bunch of times but holy hell there were some bad years for us consecutively. I mean Lou kept the team competitive by trading some good picks but it's pretty bad. Like 2005-2010. 1999-2002.

So, when will we see if McLeod signs an ELC? According to everything I've read, the kid looks ready. Is it weird that I'm more excited about Mikey than I am about Nico?

I thought he signed one last year? Maybe I'm mis-remembering

 

Never mind. Bostondevil was all over that

So the answer, then, would be October 7, 2016.

Yeah, he signed it at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.  Then used some of the money to put a down payment on a house in Lyon Estates.
