Our GM is too late, we are not one UFA away from being a SC contender. The GM should have made a 2 for 2 player chemistry trade deal in December. Do not trade the future for an 2 extra weeks of postseason, we might not even see it. Regroup this Summer and hopefully the owner might even consider a seasoned and proven GM.

Fitzpatrick had plenty of draft picks resulting from over a decade of losing hockey games, and plenty of good players right under his nose that have been wasted away over foolish moves.

what are you even yapping about? What "2 for 2 trade" was available? Give examples.

also, who is Fitzpatrick? What players right under his nose have been wasted away? Be specific. Miles Wood? Yegor Sharangovich? lmao

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisatl for Ben Lovejoy and Ben Lovejoy. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

You do think Luke Hughes joins the rush? He does more than most in the league.

He likes to lead the rush at this stage in his development and it’s more of a bull rush maybe, seems almost like he makes up his mind ahead of time to make it happen and goes even 1 on multiple defenders on occasions.

I would actually like to see Luke modulate his speed a little. Slow down and cruise, hold the puck when there’s nothing there and look around, stop and start, cut back instead of taking it wide and even circling the other team’s net or simply throwing it on goal when there’s no team mate around.

His ability to walk the line is still growing too. He should be able to affect play in the o-zone creating lanes the way Quinn does, but at this stage he seems more comfortable trying to skate down the boards and around the net.

My wife and I welcomed a baby daughter yesterday morning! We’re planning to bring her home from the hospital tonight.

I’ve already started her older brother into hockey fandom (his “let’s go Devils” chant is adorable), and we’re going to start him in skating lessons soon. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure my little girl grows up a hockey fan too.

Congrats. My girls love having Devils branded gear since they see me with it on. That more than anything is getting them invested. :lol:

That’s fantastic! I’m happy for you. I can offer you two boys for your daughter and a conditional pick. The boys are closer to UFA than your daughter but at least the older two have jobs. The youngest one is in college and moving him would be a huge cap dump and I’d have to sweeten the deal.

Meier is officially a 3rd line player:laugh:. Even Fitzgerald seems to have figured it out. Hopefully he gets traded this offseason.

Congrats!

Didn’t you just have a baby recently? Or maybe I’m just thinking of you announcing that you were expecting?

This does not imply that Meier is getting traded. Nor should he be. I've decided to see how he performs in the playoffs first. He also is no longer on the top PP.

I'm just surprised we did not see mention of a center foe the bottom 6.
