Devils 2021 training camp thread (news, notes and speculation)

[FooteBahl]

I wonder how bad it is for the non-Canadian teams

I think we only play in Canada 9 times, so if it’s Blackwood, he can just start the other 73 games in the US and A. Problem solved!

 

[Hisch13r]

We should work on that nickname.. lmfao

We need a goalie with the name Rob so our tandem could be "Rob and Big" and his nickname can be Big Black

Lmao, unfortunately would Also would fall under the same category

now... if Blackwood was, in fact, black...

Yeah but the current one is also just a stupid regular hockey nickname where everyone's name just gets a 'y' or 'er' at the end. At least the other one would have some creativity behind it

 

[MartyOwns]

Its probably Marty

'Im not a player, so I dont have to travel as much.. so f*** that shit'

i've gotten glimpses into marty's political leanings, and every time i do i'm terribly disappointed. so i stopped taking glimpses. having said that, i'm pretty sure he's vaccinated.

 

[Billdo]

This guessing who the unvaxed player is is gun. I'm betting it's either Vesey or Subban. And I'm saying Subban just to see how some people lose their minds.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Graves is a good interview.

 

[Emperoreddy]

What if it's McLeod and that's why Jesper and Zacha are starting at center?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Nightmare would be Zacha at center, and he signs a long term extension at 3c price point / role expectation.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

What if it's McLeod and that's why Jesper and Zacha are starting at center?

McLeod was there giving interviews so it can't be him theoretically

 

[Hisch13r]

We saw McLeod maskless in stuff. Doubt it's him. The Athletic piece also had us at 100% so it's probably just some prospect

 

[Hisch13r]

Nightmare would be Zacha at center, and he signs a long term extension at 3c price point / role expectation.

If the analytics department has any kind of pull at all that should never happen. That should be something they bear down on and say "don't do that because it's f***ing stupid"

 

[Based Anime Fan]

I'm thinking it's one of the PTO players.

 

[theoptimist]

I’d bet $100 it’s Wood. He seems like a dullard.

I would be surprised if it was Wood or anyone European. It’s 100% an American and the irony would be sweet if it was Vesey

 

[JrFischer54]

Whoever isn't vaccinated cannot travel to Canada? Presumably it's someone who just didn't think about it (maybe having had it already) as opposed to someone fundamentally opposed to it.

If you aren’t vax and need to quarantine do you still get paid for missed games?

 

[theoptimist]

And if I was Devils leadership group I would make strong argument that players are public facing and would require players to be vaccinated. At this point, you can assign a value to “missed games” so strong reason for management and the player to comply

 

[Ds88]

It’s probably Nico and that’s why Mercer has been slotted in as the second line center already.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Pretty sure that if a player had a media availability today they are vaccinated. I could be wrong however.

 

[Blender]

Here's everyone who had media availability today that they are listing so far:

• RAW: Hischier
• RAW: Smith
• RAW: Hughes
• RAW: Siegenthaler
• RAW: Hamilton
• RAW: Bernier
• RAW: Bratt
• RAW: Wood
• RAW: Wedgewood
• RAW: Foote
• RAW: Tatar
• RAW: Severson
• RAW: Subban
• RAW: Graves
• RAW: Vesey
• RAW: Boqvist
• RAW: Zacha
• RAW: Blackwood
• More to come

Wotherspoon.

 

[Eggtimer]

It’s Ruff. We will need Naz to wear a helmet cam with a monitor on it to relay messages between Ruff and the players. At least Naz will be do if something a little useful .

 

[HyperX]
