SC Devs Fan Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Devils won't be capped at deadline http://www.nj.com/devils/ledger/index.ssf?....xml&coll=1 Lamoriello is believed to be interested in obtaining a point man for the power play, as well as an experienced center. He has the money, approximately $3.6 million in free cap space, to rent a top player and has been doing some shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansDevils Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Wouldn't mind seeing Nagy, Campbell or Stuart here in New Jersey. Not so sure about Lang though. Nagy or Campbell along with Stuart would be good additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMinder Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's the Brodeur factor. We all know the Devils will never have another like him and Lou goes for broke every year unless it is pretty obvious the Devils suck. At best, kiss the first round pick goodbye, at worst a young player AND a first rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) you mean the same year we gave up our only trade chip (first round pick) to get Malakhov off the cap?we had NOTHING to offer and no cap room to take anything we didn't deal last year cause we couldn't this year it should be because we SHOULDN'T Edited February 11, 2008 by Triumph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I will still stump for Cory Murphy. I have to assume he would come pretty cheap, he can run the PP, and I would assume Florida is a seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Don't know why they would sell him, and plus the guy's only got 28 games of NHL experience. We've already got 4 guys on the team who barely have any NHL time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 He's 29 so he isn't a young guy. He only has 28 game NHL experience but he's been playing pro since college. Since he has only 28 NHL games he still isn't a known quantity so the Panthers might be willing to trade in his decent start to get either prospects or picks.

Devils731 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I recognize that - but why would New Jersey want this player? Why would Florida give him up? He's signed through next year cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) NJ would want him because he fills a need at defense that I believe they could get for a guy like Fraser. Florida would be interested because they'd rather have a guy they could control for years like Fraser. The Devils should have tried to sign him in the offseason and I don't know that they didn't.I hope the Devils don't trade major future pieces like first round picks for a guy like Blake so this would be a type of trade I'd look to make where you don't trade anything major from the future but give yourself a chance to have a defenseman who can run a PP.

Devils731 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The only 2 defensemen the Devils haven't used on the PP are Vishnevsky and White. All 6 others have spent some time there with varying degrees of success. Why do we need ANOTHER one who we've got no idea whether or not he's any good?

Triumph Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well from what I've seen he is good so I'm infering his future play from what I've seen. I don't think it's unreasonable to see him score 40 points or more in a season while I do think it's a stretch to see Greene or Rachunek do that any time soon. If that's the case, why does Florida part with him, especially given their dearth of power play guys which led them to sign Murphy in the first place? Just doesn't add up - Stuart, Blake, Campbell, Boyle - these are the guys New Jersey will pursue, although I would not be surprised if they end up with neither of them.

emptynet Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I dont see Lou doing anything major. Look at Cam, he's been ready for how long??? That just shows the coaches and Lou like what they have. ANY team can be made better, but at what cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
