He is a Rangers fan so this is the only time we go to games together where it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Who knows, but these clowns got less than nearly anyone expected, AND they didn’t even trade Bobby Ryan to take the downgrade in return. No, they were not going to get elite level talent or they would have. Instead they got assets, definitely 6, maybe 8. For a guy who wasn't going to re-sign, wanted the hell out of town, and has not signed an extension as part of the deal. Would you give up elite players for 5 months of Karlsson? They would have gotten elite talent back if there was an extension as part of the deal. There wasn't, and he's not worth that level of talent as a rental player. It's as simple as that. I would add, its way better than letting him walk in free agency also. 47 minutes ago, DevsMan84 said: I wish they would have went in the meme direction and used the old elementary school photo early 90's laser background Also got tickets to the game on Monday for myself and my brother.

vadvlfan Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'll bet Dorian received better offers earlier on. When he thought they weren't enough (at that time) both teams moved on. Now, as camp is cranking up, he feels he doesn't want him (EK) in the room at all, takes whatever he got. He had all summer to get this done. I don't really know what went into it, but I'll bet Melnik was involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had all summer to get this done. I don't really know what went into it, but I'll bet Melnik was involved. I remember reading somewhere, I can't remember where and I can't verify it, that EK was holding up the whole thing by refusing to sign an extension because he wanted to see if his family liked it where ever he was traded before he commit to a long term deal. Looking at it now, especially since he didn't sign an extension with the Sharks, it makes sense that it could have been true. It still probably would have been better for Ottawa to have gotten the deal done sooner than later. Either way, July 2019 may have just gotten a lot more exciting.

Otherwise Ottawa would be sitting like us with Gomez and Parise. Granted both of those guys were held on to for playoff/hopeful cup runs. Ultimately they got something for a player who was as good as gone. I just think Ottawa ownership and leadership are proving to be incompetent. I feel terribly for the fans, and feel badly for the players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Ottawa ownership and leadership are proving to be incompetent. I feel terribly for the fans, and feel badly for the players I didn’t reference anyone specifically for that reason. But, let’s say Parise hated NJ, his girlfriend had been harassed by the girlfriend of a teammate, he refused to sign an extension, and you knew he was leaving. And it’s September, before you have any idea that you’ll be headed to the Finals. We’ve lost in the quarter finals three years in a row and then failed to make the playoffs the following year. Do you maybe consider taking 6-8 prospects/picks for him rather than seeing what happens? I think I probably would have. Hard to say in retrospect because we went to the finals, but that was a very unlikely run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) It doesn't help that Donald Fehr and Gary Bettman have to be two of the least likable asshats on the planet...anytime Bettman starts condescending to us in that wormy little voice of his, I want to start punching things...especially his round lil' Count Chockula face. For fvcking ONCE, figure sh!t out without killing the game, and stop holding everyone hostage. a$$holes.

LittleBallofHate Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 @amandacstein: Andy Greene is the captain. Hall will continue to wear the A. #NJDevils Taylor Hall: "It's really the first time I've been able to come into a training camp with some team success under my belt and that made for a really exciting off-season." Nico Hischier calls opportunity to bring Devils to Switzerland a "once in a lifetime opportunity." To play in his native Switzerland, in front of friends, family and against the team he skates with in the summer is a big honour for him. Nico Hischier feels much more at ease coming into Year 2 than his rookie season. Says he gained about 8 lbs of muscle this season to be faster and stronger. Wants to learn from playing with Hall to “do something every shift.” Jesper Bratt says he worked on increasing his stamina to be able to handle the 82 game regular season. Wasn’t happy with how his season ended last year. Also, one random/funny thing from Chris Ryan: @ChrisRyan_NJ Andy Greene said new defenseman Egor Yakovlev looks like a "Russian Adam Henrique" so that's how I'll be referring to him from now on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
