SC Devs Fan Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 TFP reports that Danton is on his way to the Sharks and the Devils want Todd Harvey (I'd post a link but I don't know how, sorry); anyone know anything about him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I would definitely like Harvey in return for Danton. He is a former-Ranger, I believe so anyway, and he's a hard ass, in ur face type winger. So we would be getting a great replaccement for Danton if Lou can get Harvey.

Beck27 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Basically in Harvey we'd be getting an older Danton back with more skill. He has a mouth but is not nearly as bad as Danton. So far this year he's struggled, but the entire sharks team has, so overall the Devs would make out very well in this trade if you ask me.

unibrow Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 It was Harvey and a 2001 fourth round pick for Dvorak and a thrid pick, traded in Dec 99. I wonder who the picks turned into? Rangers got the better of the deal definitely. I think the assessment of him as a grown up Danton is pretty accurate. Here are his stats: Todd Harvey 2001-02: 2nd on team in hits, 1st among forwards (172). . .4th on team in penalty minutes (73). . .Posted season-high 3 points (1-2=3) and tied season high with a +3 rating on April 10 at Columbus. . .Missed 10 games from March 13-30 with shoulder injury. . .Scored game-winning goal on Feb. 12 at Edmonton. . .Led all players with 8 hits and named game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 His personal stuff is cute, endearing. Glad he didn't name his kid Danton! Maybe he'll find a home here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redruM Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Harvey for Danton....I'm sure Lou wants it, I'll be shocked if Lombardi agress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Harvey's an agitating player but he's never played a full season and probably never will. He's very injury prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Danton + Birbraer to St. Louis for Jamal Mayers + Mark Rycroft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge18 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Isnt Mayers hurt right now? Actually i just looked it Up Mayers is out for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Why believe the TFP. They would have to get it from a big site like ESPN or TSN and if those sites are not reporting it, I don't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 And who reported Harvey going to NJ. Some big sports group. I forget who though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Actually i just looked it Up Mayers is out for the year. Mayers would be for next year's roster (unless he's a free agent at the end of the year). Mark Rycroft is NHL-caliber, and he's an agitator. He played for the Blues for a short while before getting sent back down again. Basically, I don't care if we land Mayers (forgot he was injured initially), but I'd like a Danton + X for X + Rycroft.

Actually, I was under the impression that they scour most of the newspapers in the cities where NHL teams reside (and the surrounding area) and that they do have some private "sources" who tend to be rather reliable in their information.

unibrow Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Sorry for the overkill. I just picked up the bio stuff from San Jose's site. They like to do LONG bios. Actually, the local papers here are talking about Danton, and that Lombardi really wants him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hey if Lombardi really wants him lets up the Anti....I WANT RICCI!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Indeed, Red. Mike Ricci = Power forward = just what the Devils need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unibrow Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hey, I said they wanted Danton, I didn't say they were stupid. Although with the coaching change, you can draw your own conclusions. Still Ricci's too much of a homer favorite to go for nothing. And well, that's just about what I think Danton is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Uni, that coaching change was a HORRIBLE decision by Lombardi. Coach Sutter had 5 consecutive seasons of better and better point totals. The team gets off to a slow start and he gets canned?!! Completely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Furthermore it's not Coach Sutter's fault that the top defenseman retired and that Stuart and Nabokov held out. And why Ron Wilson as a replacement? It didn't take long for the stars in Washington to tune him out. Teddy would have been a better choice. Now there's a players' coach.

unibrow Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I just read an article about Wilson's first practice. He had them playing guessing games and fining people for mentioning "the old way". A "fun and upbeat introduction" they said. I know this is California and all, but Lombardi and the new ownership are heading into the can this year.

Teddy would have been a better choice. Now there's a players' coach. Actually Ron Wilson didn't surprise me; Lou's always been a fan of Wilson and Lombardi is literally Lou Jr. (a protege), right down to firing coaches at the first sign of trouble. Time will tell whether Lombardi will come close to being anywhere near Lou the original as a GM or whether he's just an imitator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Darryl Sutter has always been maligned in San Jose. He's the kind of coach who can get a lot out of a bad team, but the Sharks are no longer a bad team. They're talented. Neither Friesen, nor Marleau, nor Hannan, nor Stuart has developed the way that many NHL experts felt they would... I think it was the right move, and a long time coming. I never thought the Sharks could win a Cup with Sutter. Apparently neither did the Sharks players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
