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

So the black and white logo pants at practice....jack had it on his kit at media day now dan rocking it on his shirt.

Doubt it means anything for the 3rd jersey anymore but kinda weird...unless i'm miss remembering and we always had it on the pants

What we thought of as the 4th line (Wood/McLeod/Bastian) last year might be the 3rd line today on paper. McLeod should be getting PK work all year. Maybe they penciled in Johnsson/Kuokkannen for now as the next 3rd/4th line wings and see Boqvist/Jankowski competing for the 4th center spot without clear special teams duties.

Hopefully Mercer comes in as a center and blows the doors off and turns that 4th line into the 3rd line. I'd like for Boqvist to do that too but I unfortunately don't see it happening

I missed this lol.

hughes classing up their logo.

I was hoping it’d be something to get fired up over but I think it’s just him spitting and it happens to be by the logo.

Nieds kicking their jersey will still remain tops for me.

 

[Ripshot 43]

It’s hard to evaluate individual players on these things due to not having played with their teammates or playing in a specific system but I anticipate Bahl, Vujokevic and Mercer to be my standout players.

 

[Eggtimer]

Hughes didn’t spit in the Rangers logo on purpose… I think he was just spitting and happened to have been close to the logo when he did it. But I wish he did hock a big greasy chunk of lung butter on it .

 

[Eggtimer]

What other “bigger name” prospects are not playing ?
Luke , Shakir , could of this years draft kids ? I can’t remember the Finnish kids name we drafted this year that is pretty decent ?

Samu Salminen is who you're thinking of. I think Misyul fits as well

Pytlik to some degree also.

 

[Eggtimer]

Yes thank you. Salminen is who I was thinking of. Too bad Shak and Hughes aren’t here but no point them interrupting their season for two exhibition games .

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Excited about the idea of the Foote-Mercer-Holtz line going pointless and being like a -3 and people losing their minds over that

probably what will happen. The prospects games is probably one of the most overhyped things.

 

[Cheddabombs]

It is but I get it. First hockey in months (especially for us am I right!?) and prospects that we're hoping will be part of our future, I'm always really excited for these games.

Just one step closer to the real thing

In case anybody needs it, here's the link to the stream (still waiting for it to start):

Yup I'm always excited for them too. It's just funny how year after year people have unrealistic expectations.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Oh don't hype me like that saying people in the organization saying Mercer could have a "Bratt" kind of camp

 

[Guadana]

Previous offseason was longer. But I did wait this season even more. Don`t know why. May be it`s a brain trick.
Anyway. Lets Go, Prospects Devils!

 

[Darkauron]

Holtz got a BIG chest

 

[Emperoreddy]

Threw up a live thread with the Devils stream.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Is it just me or is the quality really bad. Doesn't seem any options for higher quality either.

 

[My3Sons]

The camera work for the prospects game is decent. I got a good look at Chico’s rug.

 

[Guadana]

That`s why I ranked Okhotyuk so high

 

[Mgd31]

Chico sounds buzzed, I love it.

 

[Mgd31]

Holtz is a Devil, he can't hit the net.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

seriously, why do the players never just take 2 seconds to go get a new stick

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

That was a really dumb hit.
