I’d be real happy if Foote makes the team. At the very least several games so what we can see what we have on him. We definitely need our young forwards to show improvement.
Oh I didn't want him in Colorado but I was a fan of Zacha during his draft year but I didn't watch him play last year so I was just asking. I like what you guys are saying, if he can be a good 3C I'll be really happy for him.his trade bait, if you send makar or byram the other way.
new jersey has no urgent need to move on from zacha. the prospect pipeline at center isn't all that good. mcleod is the much worse player and zajac's time will end soon. zacha is currently the best option to be the devils future 3c behind hughes and nico. his contract is no issue and there is no cap crunch in sight. even if makar or byram are clear overpayments, there is no need for the devils to send out zacha for a or multiple lesser assets.
I don't know much about Foote other then his pedigree and injury history. Has anyone seen him play consistently? Is he a legitimate top 6 prospect or did his name bump him up a few notches?
Power forwards DO have a tendency to need a little more time to develop though, so I really don't expect to see him up this year unless there's a real injury emergency.He is a legit top 6 prospect. Got a heck of a shot and skates well for a big kid. Going to be a powerfoward with a shot.
killorn and a pick for a lesser pick i would do. killorn for future consideration i might do. killorn for an asset, is 'talk to you later, bb'.
I believe Taylor played under Ruff in 03.Anyone know anything about these guys?
I feel like I've been saying this every year, but I feel like we might be underestimating how good the Devils can be next year. From January 1 and on, the Devils would have been at a 1.13 pts/game pace, good enough for the 1st WC spot in the East. From the Blake Coleman trade on, the Devils were 2nd in the Metro in pts/game with 1.33 and third in the east. Now, I am not saying the Devils are gonna finish in the top 3 in the Metro, but frankly, we showed a ton of improvement after we kicked Hall and Hynes out. Obviously, these standings could easily be chalked up to a hot stretch, but I think its fair to say that this team was starting to find its stride. Coupling this with a highly improved goaltending tandem, a major improvement in the coaching department that stylistically will benefit this team a lot, effective additions to the D in Murray, Kulikov, and likely Smith, and the addition of Johnsson on offense and the natural progression of our young forwards, I really think people are underestimating our potential for next year. I'm not saying we are necessarily going to be a playoff team, but we should be putting up a good fight.
Jerz is the worst thing to ever happen to the devils. Kill it with fire
That's the worcest...My English English speaking brain makes it even harder to comprehend mate.
Jer-zed?
