wonder how long this signing would've taken if lou was running things still.


glad he got #13 its just a shame that camm had to taint it kinda like how mike mottou tainted #27 after neids left.

.

Considering every #1 gets the rookie max probably about the same time

Where the Devils stand after latest talk with Alex Kerfoot

Again, would be pretty sweet if we could lock him up. Would certainly soften the blow if we move someone for help on D.

Kovy signed a 1 year $3.38 million dollar contract. I'm guessing nobody wanted this dude.

Projecting the Devils' lineup (Take 1)

Projected lines

Taylor Hall-Travis Zajac-Kyle Palmieri

Marcus Johansson- Adam Henrique-Miles Wood

Blake Speers-Nico Hischier-Michael McLeod

Pavel Zacha-Brian Boyle-Stefan Noesen

I understand the first line, I agree with that idea ATM.

Very impressive IMO to see Wood at the 2nd line, I wonder how Mojo and Rico mesh? ATM I don't have a strong counter for that proposed 2nd line.

I would switch Speers and Zacha. Let Zacha(15), Nico(17), McLeod(16) show us what the future holds... although vet experience would be preferred but why not? The line will get adjusted, I imagine Hall getting playing time with Nico and McLeod eventually.

Boyle and Noesen I like......

Seems very offensive forwards TBH but why not?

kerfoot is going to go play with his buddy vessey with the rangers. they always get these types of players and haven't really hit a home run except wit haynes to some extent but one of these guys is going to pan out nicely for them eventually.


i saw that kovy is primed to come back 100% next year he said. i really hope he busts a knee or something like that because you know exactly where he will be signing NYR. i think kovy would actually really help them and their horrible powerplay.


mcleod nico john q zacha and to some extent blendisi have to be in the lineup this year consistantly. this team should take its lumps let the kids grow and get their exposure. if we are "lucky" they finish in the bottom and we can win the lotto and draft that super stud d man everyone is talking about. even if we don't the kids get great exposure to the nhl play and can grow their games. or if we are "lucky" the kids take off and we are in a playoff race.

Whatever gets him off the announcing team.

BYE JOHNNY MAC!!!

It doesn't address our defensive woes though

No but this could:


If we Kerfoot wants to nail and go play for the Rangers maybe this guy can soften the blow.

 

[DevilishWon]

Dont forget guys Jon Merrill is gone so the D is already better

i dug mac on the broadcast team only because i really enjoy listening to the players i grew up watching from a crazy time of the sport (80s) when hockey was as mainstream as robot fighting on spike. part of the reason i loved chico and really love dano doing the job.


who else former player can they bring in? driver looks and probably sounds as dry as a piece of wood. grant marshall?

on the other side wtf are the yotes thinking?

Patty appears to have settled in in the Czech or I would have loved him on the broadcast team.

Elias needs his farewell night too..... he'll come back.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

New Deb? Sherry's replacement? None of the above?
