Devils discussion (news, notes and speculation) - part II

Wonder what she does when she see's a fight on the ice. Probably covers her kids eyes or some dumb shit.

I mean I complained about Jack smashing his stick and acting like a baby so I'm not going to turn into a hypocrite now. But I think it's quite a bit different. Jack was looked to immediately as a leader of the team and someone the locker room should be following. Luke is in a much more sheltered role and we all know how slowly defensemen develop.

I haven't seen Jack do it in a while, don't know if it's natural maturity or if Keefe/Fitz said somethign to him. But I know Luke will grow out of it too. I think sometimes we as a fanbase still forget how young he is.

Anyways, it's a bad look but I'm glad to at least know that they care. It could be worse.

Players slam/break their sticks in frustration all the time. Happens pretty much nightly. No idea why this took off as much as it did. Probably because Luke is an awesome talent and these players tend to get more hate from other fanbases.

I want players who hate to lose with every fiber of their being

Who is an ideal and realistic trade target to improve the 3rd line?

I know we've kicked around reunion names like Palms and Hall. What about Donato from Chicago or Nyquist from Nashville? Always been a fan of Nyquist but know he's on the older side.

The answer could very well be Palat if we can bring in a top 6 winger to push him down.

I'd love for us to add Nelson and that either gives us 3 scoring lines if Nelson plays C or loads up the top 6 and pushes Palat to L3 and Cotter to L4.

My guess is Bratter is getting the next A but wish you could split or rotate it with Luke because he deserves it.

I've watched enough of Edvinsson to say that Luke is the clear and runaway No. 1 in a re-draft. Physical tools + this jump in overall play puts him ahead of everyone in both '21 and obviously '22. I think we lucked / nepotized our way into the closest thing to Makar.

Agree 100%.

No matter what Luke does, the next A goes to Bratter.
