$600K is cheap except when you get nothing in return. Why Lou?

He can't possibly be as bad next year as he was this year. Regression to the mean, anyone?

For me, a very demoralizing draft and off-season. The Devils got even older up front. Gionta is like middle-aged on this roster. Yeah, I think they will be tough on defense but if Jagr regresses even a little, this team is toast.
Let this sink in:
Jagr = 42
Elias = 38
Zubrus = 36
Ryder = 34
Havlat = 33
Cammo = 32
Clowe = 31
Ruutue = 31

Of the forwards, they have 4 players under 30. Let that sink in.
Brunner (28), Zajac (29), Bernier (29) and Henrique (24). That's it and really, Henrique is the only young player and Bernier is 29 going on 40.

3 dmen are 31 or older. 3 of 6, none of whom get benched are 31, 37, and 38.

Seriously, who builds a team THAT old. You're bound to see attrition and injury. I love Lou but holy crap.

His paycut tells me that not too many other NHL teams were interested, if any at all.

My diarrhea MIGHT go away as long as I NEVER EVER have to see him play with Elias or in the top 6 AGAIN!

Hopefully Havs stays healthy and we never have to witness that abomination again.

May I suggest Immodium?

I honestly think he could get cut out of camp. This seems to really be a "prove to me you deserve to play" contract. Especially when you see what Gio got.

And rightfully so out of the league.

It's insane that this Lou glorifies and romanticizes this line.

The line was a significant part of why we got to the finals in 2012, provided for some of our only offensive support in 2013, and struggled as did the rest of the offense in 2014

Where is the surprise?

You act as if he personally harmed you or a family member, relax with the armchair arnold crap
