BTW I know a guy who knows a guy who know Auston Matthews and Matthews said he wants to come to NJ next year What circumstantial evidence? Cramming different reports in to fit your narrative isn’t evidence. If you were right about Fitz “panicking” after Slaf got selected, we’d have Wright instead of Nemec. And the difference is that poster has a history of posts about that specific player and has no reason to lie about us talking to him in a deal that didn’t work out. Your Auston Matthews joke has as much credence as your “Fitz didn’t know Montreal might take Slaf” idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoboken would have been an absolute nightmare for those of us who drive every game, which for our fan base is still the vast majority of us. I'd still be a season ticket holder but I'd probably try to sell as many games as I could if I had to drive to Hoboken that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have literally nothing else against Long Island lol. Same here, there are some music venues I like in Long Island but between the traffic and the miles it's actually quicker to drive to Philadelphia instead even though Philly is more miles wise.

Puckbuster Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 1 hour ago, SterioDesign said: Lou stepped in and had Kirk Muller, Shanahan, Pat Verbeek, John Mclean, Jim Dowd, Bruce Driver, Broten, Ken Daneyko.. etc etc They made the playoffs for the first time that year with very minimal moves from Lou bringing in new impact players, it was all the players that was already there. So tell me again how Lou singlehandedly turned that franchise in a playoffs team again? Shero stepped in and had Henrique, Cammalleri, Brunner, a 38 years old Elias, Ryan Clowe, Gelinas, Steve Bernier, Stephen Gionta, a 25 years old Gomez, Havlat, Greene, peter Harrold, Josefson, Larson, Salvador, Zidlicky, Zubrus, tootoo, Michael Ryder, Ruutu, Matteau.... You simply can't take away credits from Shero for already having Crosby and Malkin and then turn around and ignore everything Lou had when he got there. That's just hypocritical. He sure made good moves to build from that, i'm 100% giving him credits for that. But getting Stevens required having Shanahan. He picked Guerin and made a good trade to get Niedermayer. And he traded down for Brodeur. all good moves. But he had tons of VERY GOOD ASSETS to play with. No one answers this question. Do the Devils win 15 Division titles, 5 conference titles and 3 cups without Lou? Did Lou bring in players like Madden and Rafalski? You all think it’s so easy, when you don’t have to deal with personalities and other GMs, money, etc. The Devils had a great 28 year run and you diminish it because they needed a rebuild at the end. Detroit, needed a rebuild, Edmonton after 4 cups needed it, Chicago now needs it, by the end of next season, Pitt and Boston will need to. San Jose and Anaheim are starting a rebuild. Eventually Tampa will need to rebuild and further down the line the cupboards will be empty for the Avalanche. As a side note it took the Avs 21 years to get back to the cup finals. It’s been 10 years for the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been 10 years for the Devils. I'm not diminishing anything. I've been saying that it's unfair to compare Lou's tenure with Shero's tenure as a Devils GM. And that we have to be a lot more patient than many have been considering what Shero started with in 2016. For GMs there's a lot of luck and bad luck involved too. Many GMs made great moves who never panned out and others made dumb moves and somehow it still worked. All of them. Detroit wouldn't have been this succesful for this long with the luck of drafting Datsyuk and Zetterberg this late and those guys becoming what they became for example.

NJD16W Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I wish I was wrong about Palat. Figured this front office would be dumb enough to overpay this bottom 6 forward after not landing Gadreau. His contract shouldn't be more than 4.5 million for the 35 points a season he'll produce for this team. Now we get to hear the BS about him teaching the young guys how to win. As the team picks in the top 6 again after next season with him. Just absolutely the worst thing Fitz could have done. I saw this coming from a mile away.

NJD16W Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Fitz is now officially a failure. 6 million per year for a 31 year old forward that will max out at 40 points outside of Tampa. Absolute garbage signing. As bad as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely posted during the Shero years and Fitz has given me a lot to complain about the past couple seasons. When Dougie got signed I didn't say sh!t. Fitz has given me a lot of reasons to complain.
