Devils 2018-19 team discussion (news and notes) - camp begins!

[New Jersey]

where do you see that

Look closely (open the full tweet/photo). See the FanDuel, Halmar, and Wawa logos?

I LOVE that Wawa has on ad on our ice now.

AmeriHealth New Jersey is also gone for the first time, replaced with Ticketmaster.

Do you people live in a Devils bubble or something because this happens with multiple RFA's every single year

No some people just think that everything is miserable and the sky is falling no matter how wrong they in fact are

We made the playoffs last season and won an exciting game in Newark with an incredible atmosphere in the rink.

We might as well have missed for the sixth straight season with some outlooks on here.

I love that Wawa is growing. Can't wait for the one to be built in Hackettstown.

There's more than enough room in North Jersey for both Wawa and QuickChek to thrive. I don't pick a side, I admire both.

Back on topic: 60 points for Yung Nico this season, book it.

Wawa > quick check.

ew did we always have THIS many sponsors? there's like 4 different ones at center ice

 

[NJDevs26]

Just so long as none of them are the orange Mercedes Benz ads. Talk about an eyesore.

No, but having more is a good thing. Especially when they're big firms you've actually heard of.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

For a team with a history (Not necessarily recent, however) of financial problems, there is no such thing as too many sponsors.

 

[Call Me Al]

those corner ads aren't even that bad, i doubt by the middle of the season we'll even notice them. after vbk i want this team to make as much money as possible!

I HATE THE LACK OF SYMMETRY THOUGH! my pseudo OCD is triggered, almost as badly as this does

Nothing orange should ever be on the ice again

How important is Pavel Zacha to the future of the franchise?
Someone said, ‘What does he need to do to make that next step?’ And I said, ‘Take the next step.’ He’s a guy who is almost like Sean Courtier. Sean was the seventh overall pick and came in at 18 years old. He had a role and he’d score 13 goals, 15 goals. And then all of a sudden in what was it … year six? He comes in and scores (31) goals and he’s a heck of a hockey player. He can play both sides of the puck and he finally had that outbreak offensively. Pavel is very good defensively, very conscientious. He’s a big, strong kid who can really shoot the puck and we want him to do more of that. We’ve been through this with young players. This is his third year. He’s a good young player and an important part of what we’re trying to do. It hard to find center icemen, and especially ones with the size and skill like he has.
It’s like with Couturier, sometimes it takes longer. Even though Couturier was a big part of their team for a long time, it just happened for him offensively at a later date. Everybody would take Sean Courtier even before he scored his 30. Pav was a good player on a playoff team last year. He wasn’t a top scorer like that, but you need contributions from everyone. The next step for him is to round out his game and use more of his size and skill and strength on the offensive side of the puck, as well, and gain confidence doing it to really get to the level we think he can be at.
Devils GM Ray Shero talks Miles Wood negotiations, players...

 

[Better Call Sal]

I hope they just call him Rico. In fact, that's what I'll do. To fill the Rico sized hole in my heart.

Wawa > quick check.

Interesting. I like them both and really see no major difference other than the fact that Wawa is a major company and Quick Check is a little guy.

Wow. That. Looks. Really. Bad.

Like it was real close to 5pm on a Friday when that got done.

Easy solution, BRUTHAHOOD saves a letter, could totally center that

Or a slightly smaller font...Measure twice, cut once brothers!

I hope I'm missing something but there's always 4 ads there, no?

 

[Satans Hockey]

Surprised they didn't go with Devilhood lol

 

[Satans Hockey]

There's 4 additional ads on the ice in the corners. Probably a new league wide thing now too.

Ah, didn't even notice that bc the center ice thing was mentioned. That's interesting. I'd assume it's league wide.

 

[njdevil26]

Welp... Mr Yakolev certainly is handsome. I have no problem admitting that

[Missionhockey]

You know, saying that the Devils might not have a roster that can take them to the playoffs again is fair in my opinion. I have a little doubt that they can do it as is as well.

But, how often though to rosters stay the same the whole year though? Even when we stunk there was a lot of turnover throughout the season. Shoot, in the dark days, Scott Gomez was our first line center (shudder). My point is, how long do you expect this version of the team to last?

Trades get made, players get injured, players get put on the block, etc. Something will change between now and the trade deadline, I guarantee that. So there is no point in complaining about this team when it's not a finished product.
