Nicomo Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 If it truly ends up only being 3 weeks that’s huge. And would explain not placing him on LTIR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Connor Clifton and Ross Colton - two NJ natives that should be tried for treason. In all seriousness, Clifton should’ve been suspended longer. The NHL disciplinary actions never make sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have gotten a game or two, especially with the defensive struggles in Colorado the other night. Hell he coulda played for Smith and we wouldnt have been any worse for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows how to defend He clearly knows how to play his body... And he can protect our boys He will not be here to run the powerplay that's for sure but we have way too many players to do that so it's fine And of course he isn't as fast as Jack & Jesper (but who is ?) ... but i'm pretty sure he would manage to get in synch with our team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not telling anyone that making the devils more physical makes them better but I really don't want to see our captain getting run on with no answers anymore either. I'm not looking for a waste of space like Reaves either, those days are over. I actually hoped the Devils would sign Colton in the offseason. And I liked Gudas too because I was hoping the team would get a little more physical. Zadorov would be a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 I also think all teams should be required to be transparent on injuries. Every other sport is, and we live in a gambling age. This vague sh!t needs to be put an end to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it depends on what “steps up in a big way” means. You trading Seamus Casey? Cause that’s probably what they are asking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care who we get as long as this happens. ANYONE has to be better. Smith is the same to me as a terrible fantasy football defense who gets you negative points. In those cases I would have rather put no one in that lineup spot rather than get negative points. In this case I’d rather put a cardboard cutout out there who at least won’t take stupid penalties 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I made that post I started to think more about it and Hanifin isn’t really what we need, as his game is more of an offensive game. We need solid defense.

I was anticipating more that a move would happen later in the season and NJ would be able to take advantage of pro-rated contracts to make a move but if it happens soon and they have people on LTIR I think the rule is you can't pro-rate at all so cap stuff has to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
