That's 24 players, so someone has to go. I'm guessing Gryba is the odd man out. I'd rather see Santini and Mueller as permanent parts of the roster on D, and for forwards, I don't see how Dea doesn't get a spot when they just brought him in and he has some potential, and then of course there's the weird and never-sending love affair with Stafford, so I just don't see where Gryba fits and stays over any of those guys.

jagknife Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 23 hours ago, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: The bolded I definitely didn't like...a miscalculation by the franchise for sure. Seemed like they were trying to address a demand that didn't exist, but my theory on that will always remain the same: some corporate out-of-touch dipsh!ts saw some fans wearing Scouts and Rockies gear during games (though for any given game, it's a fraction of a percent of those who actually do that...there's far more Devils fans who couldn't tell you the first thing about the Scouts and Rockies), waaaaaaay overestimated fan interest in those iterations, and thought wouldn't it be so clever to incorporate elements of those jerseys, at the expense of introducing an inferior design to the outgoing Edges. It could've been much worse though...thank whoever that someone put the kebosh on the Bingo Devils crest being the NJ Devils crest. That would've been a disaster of Buffaslug and Fishsticks proportions. As long as the classic NJ crest remains untouched, I can tolerate a hell of lot. The Gorton’s Fisherman laughs at the Bing Devils’ logo, that thing is horrendously pathetic. Hell even little league teams would be embarrassed to wear that as a primary logo. I really hope one day we find out it was a Make-a-wish kid’s dream to design a logo, the organization said absolutely, we hooked them up for a few years (NHL video game style), instead of some idiot who makes an absurd amount of money saying “this looks good, hell it should be the big teams new logo!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually 23 w/ Stafford getting the albelin, gomez treatment for a while of hanging around without a contract. (hence the asterisk).

ringtwins Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Someone on the Devils needs to "Wilson" that POS Kucherov next time they meet. That hit in the playoffs to Sami was unconscionable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hit in the playoffs to Sami was unconscionable. I'm with you on most of that. Would just much rather he gets his clock cleaned with a clean hit than a dirty hit. NJ doesn't need that bad Wilson-esque mojo in our club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dea is the other one that will be probably alternating with Q. So this is probably a chance for Dea to get a chance. PLEASE NO STAFFORD!

Yeah that's what I was thinking - I figured Dea would've been the odd man out most of the time. I think we all share the same sentiment about Stafford, but I can also see the organization giving him some games here and there. I don't get it, but they obviously see or feel something we don't.

mfitz804 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I thought we saw Dea slotted in. There was a conversation going on just the other day about how it might be better for Quinville to be in Binghamton. There was a conversation going on just the other day about how it might be better for Q to be in Binghamton. In any event, it’s a broken jaw. How long will he actually be out for that? Will he just put on full face protection and be back shortly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 suspect Palms moves to 1st line & Dea to 2nd? (because he's righty? I know many here don't want Stafford around, but he, like Spempniak are decent ace in the hole for injuries. Ray could sign him to a (one way) contract, & send him down to Bingo if he needed the room. No one will pick him up on waivers. He's a decent face-off guy or plays either side.

Based on preseason line combos, looked like Palms was going to be on the top line, not Bratt. Which to me makes more sense anyway...those three always clicked well when put together (I know Bratt did early last season, but for now I would've preferred Palms on with Nico and Hall). Guessing Q gets the early chance. Stafford better be here strictly as insurance. If Stafford's in the lineup over Q for the first game, then why even have Q make the team to begin with?
