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

Team is battling illness; will they tell us when they're all healthy? Keefe is the Spin Doctor

 

[McDuffz88]

I didn't watch yesterday's game but if I'm Keefe it's time to do some lineup changes. We need to get our top 6 rolling again. I would make the following changes just to see if it reignites the top 6.
Meier-Nico-Bratt
Palat-Hughes-Noeson
Realistically though we need to add a 3rd line center and a good winger who can score. I wouldn't even be opposed to calling up Casey but not as a dman but as a winger for sh*ts and giggles. That would be an instant boost to goal scoring. If we tried the Casey at winger experiment I would throw him with Hughes and see what happens. That would push down one of Palat or Noeson down to the 3rd line which is where they truly belong.

Finally got to catch a game at the Hobey Baker Arena. Princeton lost to Colgate 6 to 4, was a good back and forth game. Alot of you who live closer to here than me (took 2 hours and 10 minutes to get there from where I'm at in NY) should go see a game here ! Tickets are cheap and there literally is not 1 bad seat here.

I have no clue if you guys are gonna get JT Miller or not, but what he did tonight is exactly what he did in the playoffs for us, and for the last three seasons.

When he is engaged, he’s an absolute monster on the ice, McDavid probably absolutely hates him.

He is a very good player but I think the rumors around us being involved are just to drive up the price for the Rangers

Was a rough weekend for the Tigers. Friday night there were a ton of NHL scouts in the house for the Cornell game. The Big Red were simply bigger and faster and wore down the younger Princeton team.

Both Princeton and Colgate were trying to salvage the weekend after Friday losses to two of the top teams in the ECAC.

For Devils' fans, Tom Chorske's son Brett scored the game-winning goal with about three minutes left.

After watching yesterday's game, other than right/left, it qould be hard to justify to Simon and his camp that he is still in the AHL while another young defenseman is not. Throw in the Seamus Casey love fest at the beginning of the year (and the way Mukhmadullin was traded without getting an opportunity to fully develop) and you begin to see why he would rather be elsewhere.

This team is in full-on freefall. Now lost 8 of their last 10. What the hell is happening? Has everyone been sick for the past three weeks? Another 1 goal game, against one of the worst starters in the league. And the only goal coming from a defenseman.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Noah Cates looked good at times last game. Keep an eye out for him.

Cates (and that entire line) is Exhibit A of the difference between the philosophies of the Flyers and Devils when it comes to player development - and a reason the Flyers organization seems to have a larger stock of homegrown talent either currently in the lineup (or on the way).

 

[Triumph]

The team's legs simply are not there. They haven't had a real break since Christmas. The upcoming 3 day break will be huge, as will the long break during the 4 Nations tournament where only Jack, Haula, Backstrom, and Bratt are playing (and maybe not even Haula).

It’s always something. Exhausting.

I don't see how this can be the case or how we can offer any package considering we are not even one of the teams Vancouver has granted permission to talk to Miller. (At least from what is being reported).

For all we know Fitz is eyeing someone else fron Vancouver like Suter or Boeser.
