titans04 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I would lean towards delusional when it comes to Wedgewood although he's pretty well rested having turned pro 8-9 years ago and has under 25 NHL games under his belt. So he's got plenty left in that NHL tank. Honestly though I don't think it really matters in another year like this where you're just looking for growth from some key players. As for Cory, if I had to guess he wouldn't just walk away unless it was anxiety/depression related if as some of the reports are correct where it's not a family health related issue. I think he signed here with the best of intentions and if he's struggling now within his own head I get it. It's not a safe space to be in and hockey should take a back seat as much as that sucks for the team. I wish him only the best and hope he can make whatever changes are necessary to find that inner peace. I don't believe there was any ever intent on his part other than to do the best he could here. Living with high levels of anxiety/depression is truly the definition of living day to day never know what the next day will bring.

But i'd just love to land like..... ONE sure shot dude. No matter where he's drafted... just one player we know CAN 100% produce and be effective. Like one guy that other teams would really want lol Like other teams around us got Barzal, Petterson, Eichel, Q Hughes, Heinskanen etc etc Those guys came in and became stars right away that you can build around and you know they'll bring you something... at least a point per game kind of guy. For us right now even with 2 recent first overall picks, we're looking at our teams and all we have are all players we're wondering if they'll reach their potential or if they are what they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Ottawa Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Stay far far away from Craig anderson. Washed up bum who was way overhyped here in ottawa. Basically just run rookies... Or... Florida is desperate to get rid of bobrovsky, eat half the contract for a pick, then florida is able to run in knight. And we aren't even in same division... I mean, who else could eat bob's contract out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll rookies in that case or let Jimmy Howard suck for a game a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backups may be seeing more time than we expect in this 56 game season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 There's also the possibility that a rookie somewhere in the league is pushing a veteran back up out of a job. I'm sure Fitz is working the phones. You need a backup who can step in for a bit if the starter gets hurt and I just can't see Wedge or Senn as that guy right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn’t be trading any real assets for a backup goalie for a partial season in which we probably won’t be competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 If Crawford needs time to do his thing it is what it is, but I wonder how that might have changed what the Devils did in the off season. Now we're on the cusp on the season's first game and he got cold feet. He barely gave the standard two weeks notice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact that he took 2 maintenance day FIRST then a few personal days doesn't align logically with someone getting cold feet when he already had history of vertigo kind of syndromes caused by concussions only 2 years ago. That's as grounded as an assumption as we can possibly respectfully take based on everything we know. Assuming he just got cold feet and didn't even give 2 weeks notice is kind of a dick take.

I called in sick to go to the 1995 Cup parade. But I wasn’t actually sick. Taking a “maintenance day” is so nondescript that it means basically nothing. If it were injury related, I would expect he would be on injured reserve rather than taking personal time. But again, it’s all speculation at this point. All we know for sure is that the scant availability of Adidas authentic jerseys saved me from having a Crawford jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all assumptions. But say your wife usually get home from work around 5 but has a history of stopping by the grocery store on her way back from work from time to time. So it's 5:45 and she's not home. Are you going to assume right away she's out cheating and tell people? before assuming she's simply at the grocery store which would make a lot of sense. To me it would be a dick move to assume that if she never showed any signs of being a cheater. point is, if you dont know. at least don't make hurtful assumptions.

If all of the above happened and while she was gone her friend was quoted saying “I don’t know if she is going to fvck some dude, that’s up to her to decide”, I would probably be suspicious. Well i just remember jumping to conclusion about Rask. then when it came out that it was a medical emergency with his daughter i kind of felt like a dick for jumping to conclusions. Being a dick isn't illegal either it's fine. I just think we should at least wait to know whats up before we literally say that he got cold feet and didn't bother to give us 2 weeks notice lol and treat it as a fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 I, for one, am not treating it as a fact, but it’s a fair interpretation of what we’ve seen so far. Which makes it fair to discuss. Whether it ends up being wrong or not. A guy doesn’t take personal time because he’s injured. They have injured time for that. Family medical issue is possible. So’s him bailing out because he thinks he made a mistake coming here and his heart isn’t in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 my best guess is that Crawford read this board and read the comments about his mask and he's now reconsidering his whole life. Or getting a new mask made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
