Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 As if today couldn't get any better Nico and Jack have both been named as finalists for NHL awards. Jack for the Lady Byng. Do I really need to say what Nico has been nominated for? They are going to be underdogs, but it's the 2023 Devils. Anything can happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunninWithTheDevil Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 May 5th is when they announce Jack Adams finalists. You gotta think Lindy is way up there. I'd probably put Hakstol just behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Despite all the early “low end #1’s” talk, these two both turned into franchise changing players just like they were supposed to. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue was Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid were the prior #1's preceding him. But after that you have Hischier, Dahlin, Hughes, Lafreniere, Power, and Slafkovsky. Lafreniere was supposed to be a lot better, but I honestly blame the Rangers and their team construction that has hampered his development.

I tend to agree with you. Is it a coincidence that Kakko AND Lafreniere have been underwhelming? I'm suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I’d counter to that with is they’ve both floundered under two different head coaches now. There was a lot of blame from Rags fans about Quinn being the problem, and then they went out and hired one of the hottest names available after they fired him. Meanwhile, we got Ruff and they all laughed and made fun. Yet our young players that are the same age like Jack and Mercer have excelled. So shifting the blame onto Gallant now is pretty funny to me, and feels like moving the goal posts a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get young players you ease them into the game at the NHL level but there is always a point where they have to finally step up and take more responsibility and that is a massive growth moment. NYR buys in top players year after year that prevents opportunities for the young guys to have to step up in that way and that's gotta be hindering them. Jack and Nico both had those moments. I think this playoff is another one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
