That just seems so very unlikely. Neither is winning the lottery, but if I bought a ticket I'd still root to win the whole pot than root to split it with someone else because it's the outcome that is most likely.

mfitz804 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 If our rooting worked, we’d be in first place right now. Just sayin’. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Leeds Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 0% chance Hall resigns in Arizona I hope they completely tank this year and the Devs end up with the 4th overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall needed the change of scenery as much as we did, if there was any chance of him signing long term (which IMHO there was not) it was gone by mid October. Though I do not think he was a cancer I firmly believe the longer this dragged on the more negative effects on the other players there were. His next contract needed to get done, there is a lot of mental masturbation probably going on in his head, what if I get hurt, is this team I'm on any good, if I wait UFA $$ Years location...Etc... Ray I'm sure ran the numbers and took what was the best deal. We have a good foundation with Nico/Jack/Pickles/MB2 now ad picks and prospects on def like Smith/Walsh now Bahl plus whatever we can trade out at deadline this year not to mention new coaches with (hopefully) a new system. As a Devil fan I'm disappointed in this years team but I'm excited about their future. Lets Go Devils!!!!! If he was and after the trade devils mystically start winning... he is our langenbrunner. With McLean everything is very clean like McLean’s and Hynes’s heads. But who will be our new Kovalchuk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutherford won more Cups in fewer years there. Actually he literally did build their first Cup winner. And like MB3 pointed out having the best players doesn’t automatically win you championships. It took the greatest goal scorer of this generation 13 years to finally win his first Cup. It’s almost like it had to be the right team or something...

It’s almost like it had to be the right team or something... yeah to claim Shero had nothing to do with the cup in 2009 because he landed 2 generational talent is ridiculous. He had a really good core to build around but he still had to surround them and bring a lot of help. For their cup in 2009 Shero added Staal, Craig Adams, Phil Boucher, Cooke, Dupuis, Eaton, Fedotenko, Garon, Gill, Godard, Goligoski, Guerin, Kunitz, Minard, Satan, Sykora and Zigomanis. None of those guys were on the team when he took over. And let's not forget that they made it to the cup finals the year before... then they had other Shero additions like Hossa, whitney, Roberts, Laraque, ruutu, scuderi, hall, etc And Shero still had some additions on the roster for their cup in 2016, Bennett, Dumoulin, Kuhnhacki, Maata, Murray, Pouliot, Rust, Sundqvist, Zatkoff So basically from the 2009 cup Shero brought in 17 guys and 10 more for the 2016 cup. And 7 more that we're brought by him in 2008 and made it to the finals. But yeah... he had nothing to do with all that success. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiquated Colorado Rockie Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm in the camp of rooting for Arizona to suck. He isn't resigning there anyway and draft position in the first round is much more valuable than the difference between a second and a third round pick. It could happen to, this is Arizona we're talking about 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Yeah i'm absolutely in that camp too. i mean from all scenarios... i want to get the highest possible first round pick more than anything else. Arizona missing the playoffs means we get to pick somewhere between 4th and 15th... and a pick in the 70 / 80th or so. Arizona making the playoffs and losing in the first round is getting us a pick between 16th and 24th... plus a a pick between 78 and 85 i think Arizona winning a round in the playoffs is getting us a pick between 24 and 31.... then between 55 and 62... depending how far they make it... Then Arizona re-signing taylor would get us probably 2 late first round picks... but that's likely not happening anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are guaranteed the 2021 3rd round pick, which can be upgraded to the following: To get a 2nd round pick, Yotes have to win a playoff round OR re-sign Hall. To get a 1st round pick, Yotes have to win a playoff round AND re-sign Hall. Bottom line, do we want two 1st rounders (chances after 24th pick in 2020 and 2021 can be any way), or 1 early pick and a third rounder.
