He’s played like 4 minutes in the NHL, and for some reason can’t seem to get another call up. I just think it is unlikely that he won't fill a bottom 6 role in the NHL due to his size and speed alone. Not the ceiling you want from a 1st rounder, but still see his floor of a bottom six being a likely outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Zacha may have benefitted from that. Of course, that said, we already have quite a few AHL'ers on the roster. Might as well give him, and anyone else with any kind of potential, a look.

NJDfan1711 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm made my peace with the state of this season a while ago and even though, much like everyone else, I can't actively root for us to lose, I'm checking this thread pretty much daily or at least after each one of our own games to see how it's changed... but man would it really be great to have a "Race To The Top" thread next year, or the year after. Hell, just a "Race To The Playoffs" would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting that the trade deadline is Monday. Seems like it's earlier this year, which probably isn't good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that being reasonable logic if the date at which the trade deadline came up during the season coincided with how far into October the regular season started, which would make the normal course of events of a season essentially the same, but I don't think that's the case, so basically I think if the deadline is an extra week or two early this year that maybe it really did shorten the time to complete a transaction.

Not being negative dude, just pointing out that I think it's a little earlier this year, and this is a year where we're presumably trying to sell multiple players/pieces (as we already have with Boyle), so it would seem to make sense that the more time the better. Not a big deal though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes absolutely no sense. Everyone knows when the trade deadline is from the beginning of the year, if they run out of time to make a deal, its just because they don't know what the fvck they are doing. 51 minutes ago, Satans Hockey said: It was February 26th last year, it's February 25th this year The extra day would have made all the difference, my man. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good chance that under the worst case scenario there, the Devils should be able to draft Byram who a lot of people say is better than any of the other defenseman drafted last year save Dahlin. It's pretty much for that reason that I would not trade Kinkaid unless the offer is too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven M. Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Good tank results last night, not completely great, but solid: DET came back to lose in OT to CHI. CHI is now 7 pts up on the Devils DET is 1 pt ahead of the Devils. COL beat WPG. COL is now 7 pts up on the Devils as well. Unrelated to the tank, but the Islanders lost. fvck them. Hard for me to see the Devils losing to Ottawa tonight, but we'll see what happens. Who even knows if Duchene or Stone will be playing. Duchene was said to not be playing another game with the Senators and then yesterday it came out that he said he's playing. Who TF knows. Other relevant games: CAR @ FLA (60 PTS) MIN (60 PTS) @ NYR (60 PTS) LAK (52 PTS) @ NSH NYI @ EDM (54 PTS) AZ (59 PTS) @ VAN (59 PTS) also in separate action are DAL, BUF, and PHI who all have 63 points, so with 22 games left it's hard to see the Devils making up a nearly 10 point gap but I'll hope for those teams to win regardless. Anyways... since I will be at the game and will rooting for Cory and the team to do well from the moment my ass is in the seat, just gonna hope these other results break our way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Some stuff broke NJ's way last night - AZ-VAN going to OT was a big one. Standings expressed in terms of points below .500: 25: VAN -1 26: ANA -3 27: EDM -4 28: NJD -5 29. DET -6 30. LAK -8 31. OTT -11 It's going to be impossible to catch Ottawa now that Duchene is gone and Stone and Dzingel are going - they are simply atrocious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
