JoJo Sent Down

[TiLoBrown]

Seriously? Of all people to get sent down? First hes fucked over on the first line spot now this

 

[CalamityX11]

at least we get a look at Lokti.... there's some light in this?

 

[nj_cup]

15 games and 1 point and for all those +/- lovers -8?

Playing 4th line or not those numbers just wont cut it.

He has to make a case to be getting top line mins. That and his faceoffs % is bad.

Guaranteed Lokitionov comes up and shows us more then JJ ever did.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Let him gain some confidence in the AHL, have him back for the playoffs.

 

[nj_cup]

I don't know if he will show more but it certainly won't take much. 2pts

I know no one wants to give up on Ted and jj but I dont know how many more chances how much more time you give them.

We will see what happens though lokitonov knows this is prob his only shot with nj and last shot in nhl? Ufa and can go to Russia so let's see if he takes advantage of the chance

Not sure what happened to Josefson, Wasn't he playing really well till he got injured?

He's been replaceable this year so its not surprising that he gets sent down.

This x2

Keep waiting for him to do something, but never happens. Lokotinov can't do much less.

He'll be alright. I expect he'll be back for the playoffs. As for his shitty +/-, he hasn't exactly had the most dependable linemates. But we didn't trade to get the Russian guy for nothing, so might as well see what he has to offer.

 

[KingOfNJ]

Not surprised, JJ has been below average all season.

I'm not ready to give up on JJ or Teds but they need more time to develop, end of story.

They just don't look like they belong right now.

I hope it changes, but as of right now, I view both of them as bottom six line players rather than top six

I'm not a fan of barch but he has played way better then I thought he would. Besides he gets butler and Kovy gets double shifted on that line somewhere in 15 games you have to get more then 1 point. Im not expecting lotikonov to light it up but hopefully something better

My biggest problem with Barch is that we are essentially now wasting a contract year for Matteau. If he's not going to play regularly, should have never kept him up.

i agree i think the devils really messed themselves up with matteau. lou even said he was targeting poni before zubrus got hurt. why not pull the trigger earlier? i dont know. then again its only 1 year who cares
