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

[JimEIV]

He must be a disgrace.

We played this game so many times it's nauseating.

Holtz is a sniper and Ty Smith is a great defenseman too. Joey Anderson et all is the deepest our forward prospect group has been in 20 years... it's tiring

 

[Cheddabombs]

Those stats are more about deployment.


Yay! Our #2 overall is a replacement All-star in the AHL at 21 years old! Pop the f***ing Champaign.

How many top 5 picks are in the AHL at 21 years old?

Another celebration of a baby pooping.

At 21 years old, how many top 5 picks have to compete with similar caliber players of Pesce, Hamilton, and Kovacevic on the depth chart?

Have you tried taking up interests that you actually enjoy?

Feel like that would probably be better for your life.

It's too cold out for fishing and I have no more deer tags so that's done too

I'm sorry

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Devs3cups]

Huh?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Nemec is not 21 years old.

If you wanna argue emphatically about something, at least get that detail correct.

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

As an Eastern European that works in the Bay Area, I've had to long ago learn to keep my real thoughts deep inside and offer diplomatic answers only. Gets tiring but it is what is, and Nemec will have to do it too. Again, as someone from Eastern Europe I know exactly what he means in that interview and basically it's not at all a problem this year but might be a problem if he starts off next year in the AHL too.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Huh?

Noesen might be feeling better, though I wish they gave the kid a shot. He could possibly bring more of a spark then Tatar or Bastian are bringing

 

[Emperoreddy]

Fitz wants a center but is open to a winger if we can't find a center. Wants someone to add that extra oomph and help slot guys down so we are a proper 4 line team.

LeBrun through out names like ROR, Gourde, and Laughton

 

[None Shall Pass]

Halonen going down could also be a cap space move; might just get called right back up tomorrow

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Palat-Jack-Bratt
Timo-Nico-Mercer
Donato-Gourde-Noesen
Cotter-Dowling-Lazar

Maybe there’s enough room if Tatar/Bastian are moved and MacDermid goes down? Don’t know.

 

[Simon Nemec]

Fitz wants a center but is open to a winger if we can't find a center. Wants someone to add that extra oomph and help slot guys down so we are a proper 4 line team.

What about Brock Boeser? Hes not a center but he can put the puck in the net! Though we need to save some picks to possibly move Dougie or Ondrej

 

[FinnishDevil]

I dont think he will but IF Nemec were to request a trade would you guys entertain Nemec for O'Reilly+? Its almost impossible to get fair value when trading #2 overall pick so I hope it doesnt get to that.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I don’t want any part of JT Miller. Don’t need that kind of attitude and inconsistency in the locker room.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I don’t even know what a trade would look like. I assume Mercer would need to be going the other way. Would really not have much interest without retention which I very much doubt would happen with that much term left.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

please no.

a soon to be 32 year old with 5 x $8 still left on his contract does not interest me no matter the player.

 

[TheBeerNerd]

I don’t even know what a trade would look like. I assume Mercer would need to be going the other way. Would really not have much interest without retention which I very much doubt would happen with that much term left.

I guess the whole "no dickheads" decree by Fitz just flew out the window. Yeah, we need bottom six help, but he ain't it.

 

[Hisch13r]

So how about that whole “no dickheads” thing, Tom?

Fitz wants a center but is open to a winger if we can't find a center. Wants someone to add that extra oomph and help slot guys down so we are a proper 4 line team.

LeBrun through out names like ROR, Gourde, and Laughton

Oh please not Laughton. He sucks.

 

[NJDevs26]

I guess the whole "no dickheads" decree by Fitz just flew out the window. Yeah, we need bottom six help, but he ain't it.

Throw all that out the window for a second, how are we even fitting him under the cap this year?

 

[Zippy316]

I wonder if the Devils could do a Hamilton for Miller trade and bring up Nemec.

It would be incredibly ballsy to do but I wouldn’t hate that.

Again if Devils trade for Miller, I would be comfortable with it solely due to the fact that Luke/Jack would have full knowledge of the situation and Palat played with Miller in Tampa.

 

[Hisch13r]

Throw all that out the window for a second, how are we even fitting him under the cap this year?

if this is true then it’s a really easy cap fit.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

if any of the 3 prospect D are traded for a soon to be 32 year old, fire Fitz tbh
