    Series Thread: NJD 2016 Prospects Megathread

    AHL Coach said that Q is definitely better as a winger.

    Having Stafford on the third line gives Nico some serious veteran experience to be working with. Same with putting Q with Mojo/Rico. We're still in rebuild mode, so i'm leaning towards insulating the young guys this year.

    Nico has looked very good, but you can tell that he still needs to pack on some muscle. His IQ and skill set is there, he just needs his body to catch up. It's like the guys who go NCAA, they add on 20 lbs of muscle freshmen year. If I'm our coach I'm definitely starting Nico at 3C. There's no...

    Yeah, but Zacha has speed and skill.... I also just double checked and Shero was in charge when we drafted Zacha.

    I would also like to see the 1C go to Zacha at this point. His defensive game looks good so far (albeit against some lesser competition, but he is dominating). In my mind it's important to keep the Big 4 of Hall, Rico, Palms, and MoJo split 2/2 So if you go Hall/Zacha/Palms and X/Rico/Mojo...

    So last night the Rangers basically started their top-6 d and Henrik. Also started their top 6. We had Henrique Stafford, and all the kids... and you know what, the kids did a damn good job. It's amazing how nice it is to see this infusion of speed. Zacha, McC, Bratt, Wood, Nico. All these...

    I was wondering the same thing. Zacha is def at least an above average skater, is a big guy, and has shown very good hands. There were plenty of times early last year where he looked like the only person on the team who could even play with Taylor until Zajac/Palms settled in with him. Plenty...

    The Devils subreddit has pictures of the new screen it's gigantic. Wasn't in use last night apparently.

    Most Goals: Palmieri Most Points Forward: Hall Most Points Defense: Damon Cory Wins: 28 Cory Shutouts: 2 Devils Team Points: 80 Playoffs?: No First Goal of Season: Henrique Devil likely to disappoint? Hall - Fans want a 30/50/80 season, but realistically he's a 23/37/60 player.

    Amazing trade. We didn't give up ANY of our original picks. The 2nd was for us taking on Marc Savard's cap hit and LTIRing him. The 3rd was for Toronto signing Lou. So Shero basically turned those picks plus the Stempniak Trade (2nd rounder) into MoJo and Mirco Mueller. Can't be too upset...

    We should be fine. With all the young guys making it, plus $3.5M for Severson, $1.5M for Mueller, 900K for Blender, $950 ELC for Nico we're at about $56

    No doubt there were some extremely hard feelings when we lost Parise, Kovy, and Clarkson in 13 months. However, Kovy makes us a better team right now, costs us literally nothing to get, and if we're being totally honest, we weren't going to win with just him when he left anyway. So in hindsight...

    I would sign him to that deal right now to play for us.

    Also, the most substantial thing to take away from this is how Shero has completely cleared the way for the young guys. Hall, Zajac, Henrique, Palmieri and Boyle are the only vets left at F. That means: Zacha Nico Wood Blender Lappin Noesen McCleod Speers Quenville Have huge chances to make...

    Shattenkirk might have saved us from ourselves here. 6.5x4 and 7x7 are insanely different ballparks. Can't get too frustrated, we're definitely moving in the right direction in terms of stocking the prospects again. Takes a little bit of time.

    Rangers got Shatt at ~6.5 x 4 years. That's not bad at all. Short term. Apparently he took less money to play for his childhood team. Oh well, nothing you can do there if you're shero and made him the best offer. We can always chase fowler next year. Nevermind, looks like Anaheim is closing in...

    2017 Draft Thread

    I'm feeling like we should go with the highest offensive ceiling. We have some excellent two-way centers already in the pipe. Can't believe I'm saying this as someone who grew up with the trap, but let's go pure offense, might as well swing for the fences.

    I also wouldn't move Quennevile yet, he just lead Albany in points as the youngest skater on the team, although his +/- was horrendous (-19) but in 12 games with the big club he was a +1. Who knows.. He's also a natural center, same with Zacha, and McCleod. All these guys can become excellent...

    POLL Should the New Jersey Devils target Shattenkirk?

    For me Kovy and Shattenkirk are tied together. If Kovy wants to play here, then I sign Shattenkirk. Shattenkirk alone won't do it IMO. So i'm not committing to him unless both are on the way.

    In defense or Cory, we got rid a Lars and Schlemko and replaced them with Ben Lovejoy. We didn't appreciate how good Larsson was when he was here defensively... The whole team played like a dumpster fire on defense this season. So many games this season I wanted to go down to the bench and...

    Something else to think about, how much does Kovy's destination team make you keep Cory? If Kovy comes, and you patch up the D, this is a playoff team with Kovy, Nico/Nolan, McCleod and another competent dman IF CORY IS IN NET and plays like he did in 15-16. They are not a playoff team in any...

    Most clear thing about UFA D is that it's a barren wasteland this year after Kevin. Maybe a guy like Alzner is a nice depth addition, but you don't want to pay him 5M...
