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

[Devil X]

Isn’t Seney a lefty? Hopefully he can play off wing. Right now the obvious open spot is RW4.

I think he is talking about Miles Wood's spot, no?

 

[Devils731]

I think he is talking about Miles Wood's spot, no?

In rookie camp Hynes said there were 2 spots open for people at rookie camp...it may be there’s only one but there is at least one, even with Wood here.

 

[Darkauron]

There is a RW spot open for sure

 

[My3Sons]

Ehh that spot will be filled shortly.

Maroon and Grabner/Gibbons. Every other forward that played in Game 5 is still here and likely to have a spot, not counting Wood.

 

[Nubmer6]

I doubt EDM does it, but just curious to see the opinions here.

Would you guys do Wood + Mueller for Nurse?

I would absolutely never trade Miles to a Canadian team for his own sake. He'd have to change his name to Kilometer.

Yeah by Seney

 

[Devils Dominion]

Remember, Amanda works for the team.
She's not going to say anything negative

 

[Ripshot 43]

Alright, I’m not afraid to say it... I need more Wood.

Gibbons?

 

[Billdo]

Gibbons?

Yeah, the guy people had a hard on for because he played good for two months and then competeky disappeared after his injury while ignoring that he's essentially a 13th forward

 

[Blackjack]

I mean, that is just untrue.

Did you guys watch the team at all last year? Zacha's slow start, and subsequent turnaround after being put on a line with Wood was one of the more memorable stories of the season.

Miles Wood's advice to Devils center Pavel Zacha

"Earlier on this season he would just kind of grip the stick too tight. We all go through that stage as players," Wood said. "When I started to play with him, I said, 'Pavel, look. You have the skill, you have the talent. Just calm down. I had to go through that calm-down period, too. Just play your game. I'm here to support you, and let's see what we can do.'"

Since the two have been united on a line, Zacha's game has turned. The points aren't piling up, but Zacha's impact is much clearer. He plays with consistent effort and battles on the puck on both ends, and the scoring chances have started to surface.

After being a healthy scratch for a handful of games in November and December, Zacha has been bumped up to the second line, where he has combined with Wood and now right wing Kyle Palmieri.

How do you not remember that?

People in hockey media treating that like some kind of significant departure just wanted an excuse to rag on us. The only free agent that left and I was actually upset about was Maroon. Everyone else is no big deal.

 

[BomaLightDevils]

I absolutely love Shero quote on Damon

What did he say

 

[Bleedred]

I really miss Grabner. I might cry because of his absence on opening night.

He'll score 32 goals for the Coyotes this year and help them make the playoffs. Book it.

Who are you and how did you hack into Bleed's account?

 

[NJDevs26]

Gibbons?

Someone said two spots up for grabs. It's the two forwards who started Game 5 that aren't on the team anymore. I put Grabner in the post cause he was supposed to be the guy who had that spot.

It’s been so long that I forgot Gibbons didn’t start at the end

 

[Ripshot 43]

It sounds to me like they are just trying to be very cautious with Cory, rather than rush him.

I wasn’t expecting him to be in net practing already though.

You could see he was going very easy

Needs to be better

I think he will score around 27
