Semin

[linebackeru]

Its Eck, so I don't put much into it, but he has us hot and heavy trying to sign Semin. We need the offense, maybe he would buy in like Kovy. People said the same stuff about him before he came here that they do about Semin, the guy can score goals anyhow.

 

[MCDevils]

Don't forget that even though he dropped from 40G to 20G, it was by playing the same stupid system that made OV drop from 60 to 30.

I can see you guys cumming to terms with him.

Just don't blow too big of a load on him.

 

[MCDevils]

I'd give him $5M/4 or $6M/3

 

[irishwhip03]

He could def replace the 30-40 goals that we lost when Zach left..Id prefer Ryan but I would love a Semin signing.

Wait a minute...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I can see the headlines now, "Devils' Semin buries Flyers".

 

[MadCaptain]

"Semin runs all over the rags"

Yes, but Semin also doesn't cost anything besides his salary.

 

[CalamityX11]

Finally...some good news..... Surprise Devils are linked to a FA we actually(majority) want

 

[MCDevils]

Where has anyone seen anything about the Devils being in the hunt for this guy besides HockeyBuzz?

semin will dangle all over the pru ice!

whoever made that comment about his goals going down with ovie is completely on the money...the devils dont do that boring defense first system anymore so i think he will easily hit 30 goals here. would be something if they brought him in and he succeeds like kovy so far would ovechkin want to jump ship? one could hope!

That was me. I think that he should definitely be able to pot 30G playing with some decent players here, especially with PDBs system.

Semin actually had good playoff this past season. If Ryan is not possible to trade for, let's sign Semin. We need to refill offense after Paise's escape. Semin can score and guy got a lot of offensive skills, which we would enjoy to watch.

 

[ritari330]

Honestly, I think Semin's goal production depends on the quality of his center...

 

[MCDevils]

More Alexander Semin facts: +92 past 4 seasons. Only 4 players have a better +/-: Chara (108) Burrows (107) H. Sedin (106) D. Sedin (104).

P/g average higher than Parise's since lockout.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Yeah but....


+/- is about as useless of a stat as there is in hockey.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

....especially on a team that scores a ton and puts you only on offensive lines that face checking lines that do not score often, obviously.


Seriously, +/- for any player is useless, but it is especially useless for forwards.

I think there were many nights where Pdb had trouble motivating Kovy could you imagine having 2 russians... YIKES

 

[rp2five]

Besides last season he has been good in fantasy for me. Maybe playing with Kovy will motivate him. He does have good wrist shot. If deal is right, I am ok with him on Devils.
