The reputation thing is mostly from jokes and stuff that’s been in movies and Tv and regurgitated on the internet. It’s also an outsiders personal experience. Most people who don’t live here experience NJ because they are using Newark Airport or driving through which means Parkway or Turnpike, the twin paths of hell. It’s the same way people think NY is just the city and not a large open state once you get an hour north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckbuster Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 57 minutes ago, SterioDesign said: If you take Lou's tenure as a whole you also need to acknowledge all the talent in its prime that he simply let walk for nothing. That's just not a good way to run a business or anything. His assets management is absolutely horrible and it got a lot worst with the cap. And his unwillingness to adjust never helped that. You also have to acknowledge the bad drafting and not doing anything about it letting David Conte being terrible at his jobs for over 10 years and doing nothing. Some fans wanted Shero or Fitz crucified for not firing a bad coach or assistant coach after a bad year but were fine with Lou not firing Conte who's been bad for over a decade? It's absolutely possible to acknowledge the good things he did and not put your head in the sand completely about his downfalls too. There's literally no perfect GM in NHL history. And many very good GMs never won a cup. Just like some of the best players never won a cup. Every GM has downfalls, but the Cups outweigh. Would you rather not have the cups because of the downfalls? Sorry, but it doesn’t make sense to me that the downfalls outweigh the cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fvck am I tuning in to watch this team this year, again? For hope, lol. Maybe, if they draft perfectly and retain every great pick, you know, no downfalls one day they will compete.

I think of him the way Conte used to think of Dainius Zubrus - if you have a team full of Palats, you'll win a lot of games. Sure, he doesn't fit the timeline, but I don't think he plays the type of game that would decline quickly. He has also shown he can play up and down a lineup. And I think he plays with the grit that the Devils are missing, especially on a line with Hughes. Before any other trades or signings, which I definitely can see Fitz doing still: Palat-Hughes-Sharangovich Bratt-Hischier-Mercer Holtz-Haula-Zetterlund Wood-Boqvist-Bastian Tatar and Johnsson have to fit in there somewhere too So you think a guy who was never able to score 20 goals playing on a stacked tampa team... the solution to help Jack? Scored 23 goals once like 9 years ago... That's just another Tatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else in the AHL I would consider. Hot take, if Mercer and/or Holtz are the ask, they’re packing their bags if I’m the GM and there is a Tkachuk extension in place. But, do they HAVE to?? Holtz, Mercer, Tatar and Johnson for Tkachuk with a contract extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palat is a useful role player but he will NOT bring the kind of production that any of us would want and expect from someone playing on the top line with Hughes. Absolutely not.

Couldn’t agree more, lived many years in Central Jersey, went to school in South Jersey, also lived in Hoboken. Now I’m living in LI because of the wife. Absolutely despise LI and would do anything to live in NJ. Absolutely loved it there. So many places to visit. Never that far from the shore, can go to any one of many states within a couple hours. I constantly have this conversation with friends and it’s true, everything you need, any sporting event you want to attend, any outdoor activity you want to take part of you can. Not many places around the country you can say the same about. Would move back tonight if I could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
