Also- they are both GM’s of teams named for marine animals Edited July 5 by MadDog2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 According to something I read on Google: “The New Jersey Devils hired Grier in 2018 as an assistant coach under John Hynes' coaching staff. For two seasons, Grier worked with the team's forwards and special teams, boosting the penalty kill to among the league's best.” Have we had a PK among the league’s best since 2018?

He was a big part of those quality Sharks and Sabres teams Definitely an underrated player. Mike Grier had a very solid NHL career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) Rumors are starting to swirl with respect to Calgary because Gaudreau is taking so long. If Zadorov goes to market I hope that Fitz kicks the tires on that. He's 6'6 235. EDIT: I think this is Andy Stickland so take it with a grain of salt.

SterioDesign Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) apparently Matt Murray was traded to the Sabres but blocked the trade? They were on his no-trade list. And this... again... proves how inconsistent goalies are... only a few seasons ago, if you told me Murray would be on the trading block, i would have been allllllll over this. And now.... meh..

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Kuemper on the market only helps us. One more goalie on the market makes the bidding a little less insane, even if Kuemper isn’t the one we are looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I would imagine there would have been a significant premium on what was requested from the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
