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

[BostonDevil]

And then we sign Rantanen to a massive 13 mill a year contract to be a below PPG winger for us. Sounds right.

OR he goes to Columbus and haunts us for 8 years

No matter what we do, everyone assumes it will be bad

The ONLY person I’ve heard say anything “positive” about the Hughes injury is Gabe Trevino. You better be right, sir….your credibility will quickly be shot. Long for the days of TG.

I think some Ranger fans were also saying positive things about his injury too.

Now I’m really nervous. Lol

TBF it possibly could of seemed not as bad until a specialist actually did imaging.

Honestly it was irresponsible for anyone to hedge in any direction until he was fully diagnosed.

Or he does come here and is excellent next to Jack or Nico and fixes the offense.

If the trade hasn't help Carolina why would Miko help us??

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

It's a nothing burger trade that doesn't say anything one way or the other but please continue to make up worst case scenarios based on nothing but your own feelings. Jesus f***ing Christ this fanbase is filled with drama queens.

And the front office with size queens.

this happened on a phish message board i used to read and it led to a complete splitting of the board where half went off and formed their own because the other half couldn’t handle all the attacks and the damage was irreparable

it wasn’t one thread though it was a march madness style tournament and to be fair it was one of the funniest months of boarding i’ve ever experienced

You've got to run like an antelope out of control.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The best scenario as far as season salvaging goes besides the one where jack only misses a week is Jack goes on LTIR and is ready for round 1.

Give Fitz more cap space to work with.

I think we need it more. Canes bread butter is their system.

For NJ, they are lacking one or two top 6 pieces. A Rantanen would help

But for many reasons its not gonna happen

 

[Guttersniped]

WHAT?!?!? Nice.

 

[Emperoreddy]

WHAT?!?!? Nice.

Pando was talking the kid up too. Seems like a decent prospect and we need all the center prospects we can find

He would fit better here next to Jack. Canes don't have anyone that drives play the way Jack or Mackinnon do.

 

[HoliksGhost]

I’ll say

 

[Casey Jones]

If Jack had a fracture, he would know immediately on the MRI and would not need multiple opinions.
My suspicion is that he damaged the labrum repair due to subluxation from the impact.

 

[JrFischer54]

the devils really need to bring in someone big in the forward group before next season there is Noway you can run it back with Jack as the primary guy. It’s a miracle he made it this far into the season. Next year he could be out in November.

 

[MB3]

if fitz waits until our best player is done for the year to make a rental addition I need my wife to hide the chefs knives

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

is this lachance guy any good

Nemec is not that good lol. He’s not cake Makar, he doesn’t skate well enough, his shot isn’t great, and he jumps up into the play as much as dougie does while skating just as slow.

He's certainly no cake

“Not as bad as expected” could easily mean he injured his wrist instead of his shoulder for the third time, but still requires surgery and will be for remainder of season. I wouldn’t put any stock at all into that “positive” tweet.

That honestly sounds terrifying.

We already brought in Meier.

 

[Pwned]

I hope Jack fully recovers and comes back even hungrier

 

[Killing Joke]

I want Tom gone. I don’t even want him making trade deadline moves.


Hes built such a top heavy and god awful team in the forward group with some truly stupid players on it.



This is also pathetic.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

The face you make when you lose a key faceoff late in the game (while going a whopping 38% on the night) and haven't put up a single point since November since November 25th against the Nashville !!!

My god he has no points in 27 games straight. How have I not seen that posted on here or on the Devils Reddit page by now !?

I don't know what you've been reading but it's been said a thousand times here that he has zero points since thanksgiving lol

I haven't seen a number thrown around with his drought. He should be close to a half a point per game player but is nowhere near that. He might honestly be the worst player on the Devils this year. He better be gone this offseason or after the trade deadline. He's f***ing useless now. He had his moments the 2 prior years but he is washed. Having Haula , Dowling and Lazar on this team all in a game at once is putrid.
