welcometotherock Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Not sure what to say, didnt think one of the Rags players (him or Jagr) would end up with us. As long as he produces Im not against us bringing him in. Now this season just got a bit more interesting...shame there isnt a pre-game for the game tonight Who do we kick out of the lineup? I hope we keep Mike Rupp because he seems to be the only ones slamming people and winning fights on a consistent basis.

Devils731 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Who do we kick out of the lineup? I hope we keep Mike Rupp because he seems to be the only ones slamming people and winning fights on a consistent basis. It seems like an impossibility based on years past but it should probably be Pando. His 5 on 5 play has been awful. His PK has still been good but Sutter has been more willing to put the skill guys, like Elias, Gio, Zajac, etc... out there who do just as good a job. So Pando isn't adding anything unique to the team's lineup while everyone else can say they are, including Shanny who can still probably one time the puck better than anyone on the team.

Toaster13 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm thinking that this was a result of the 4-0 Thrashing we received Thursday while our PP went 0-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have this feeling Brian Burke's going to want Clarkson, and this move maybe frees up a roster pinch to go get someone like Kaberle and pair him with White. which i figured would be the case. and that's fine because rupp can continue to be the fighter/pest that he's been. perhaps salvador drops the gloves once a week as well to make up for clarkson's departure if that was the case. still think a kaberle trade to the devils has about 5% chance of happening. Sunstrom I know you kid, but I would take Arnott back in a heartbeat in a trade. kidding on the square. i think most of us would take arnott back on line one and shift zubrus with holik and rolston. that being said, we most certainly don't have the pieces or cap room for arnott.

sundstrom Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yikes, I almost forgot about Guerin. He could be possible i think triumph just threw up in his mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martysbetter30 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 interesting to see how this plays out with langenbrunner.. another voice on the team, strong leader .. jamies the captain. hope it does not ruin any chemistry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 sundstrom: i very much doubt it. i imagine shanahan signed for at least 3 million, so 1.5 million pro-rated. guerin isn't coming, nor is arnott. this is it - this is new jersey's deadline move. it will be late january by the time shanahan is ready to play.

I was thinking the same, its a shame because he has been with us for his entire career and has played some good hockey. Now, if we can only trade Parise, Zubrus, and Gio to pick up Arnott, Sykora and Guerin. Then we sign Andreychuck and we are ready to make a run at the cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't put any stock in that, they just assign the last number the player wore, and Shanny was 14 on the Rags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh a Rangers jersey in his Devils profile pic. UGLY. I love how NO ONE saw this coming... We've been talking about Jagr and Shanahan arrives. Lou is a mad genius. I'm okay with this news.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 $hit move, no point to it, dont like it. I cant see what he brings to this team at all??? I think some players are getting moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I dont mind this move at all. I understand why Lou and probably Sutter made this move. The powerplay has been an absolute joke, with guys being unable to shoot the puck, its not even setting up, its just shooting the damn frickin puck. Shanny is not a guy who can handle 1st line minutes at all anymore, but he is a guy who plays hard no matter what, is by no means soft, and is willing to shoot the puck five billion times if he has to. Im sick of watching a power play where guys outside of Parise and Langs play with the damn puck like its a faberge egg. I also agree with Tri, I think this is our deadline move, unless Lou sees a really tempting quality offer he can have for an offensive defenseman, but I think the trade deadline is going to be quiet this yr.
