Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2022-23 season thread part III

[Guttersniped]

This is old news, and led to a revival of the Josh Anderson to NJD thread on the trade board, but I never saw the quotes from the Montreal podcaster we were supposed to take seriously. Good old Montreal Hockey Now lol.

Maybe I missed this being posted due to Thanksgiving, it’s from Nov 23, but it’s entertaining enough I’m sharing it with the class.

That last paragraph kills me.

Love the ludicrous “just to be clear, they aren’t trading the most valuable players currently on their roster for Josh Anderson” as an intro to sell the idea that he gets them blue chip prospects.

There’s no realistic “package” that gets them Holtz unless the other parts do an enormous amount of the heavy lifting. Even then, blue chip defensive prospects for a non-elite winger is from outer space.

I could actually see Fitz kicking the tires on Anderson at some point in the past (he kicks a lot of tires), particularly after Wood’s injury, but not buying him having any willingness in paying a lot for him at all.

Zetterlund is a RW who does a lot of the same things, so we got a better solution.

Lol at describing Anderson as being in “high demand” too.

New Jersey Devils Very Interested in Montreal Canadiens Forward

The New Jersey Devils had been linked to the Montreal Canadiens all summer, but it seems the Devils haven’t wavered on their interest in a certain Canadiens forward. Montreal Hockey Now reported earlier in the summer that the.New Jersey Devils had their sights on Montreal Canadiens forward Josh...

In my head when he says “spice it up with other players and picks” he’s saying the Devils may move Luke Hughes and a 2023 1st for Anderson, who is apparently not an overpaid player signed for multiple more years but instead an incredibly valuable piece that would put teams over the top.

I’m sure Fitz was thinking long and hard about moving the number 2 pick or Luke Hughes for that turd. How could a “respected” media guy put their name to this nonsense?

Its a great article man. It has sources too, such as "Trust me bro" and "You should believe this"

 

[Triumph]

I've been a hockey fan with access to Montreal-based rumors for 25 years. Nothing has changed. The churn of bullshit just keeps coming. It's like what if the Yankees were kinda shitty and boring over that stretch too.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We are good and have some great prospects so we are great fodder for rumors.

 

[Cheddabombs]

The fact that that person had to say "they're not trading Jack Hughes or Nico Hischier" was so funny

Montreals fan base overvalues Anderson in such a spectacular way. It's bananas tbh. His contract is an albatross unless he regains the form he had from that... checks notes... one good year he had.

 

[The Wumpus]

It's like the Weird Science method of raising perceived value through planted rumors

Josh Anderson is soooo valuable. I hear the Devils were considering 2nd overall and Luke Hughes for him.

 

[MauDevils]

I swear to God I must have the wrong Josh Anderson. Because my brain can't process this being about the one in Montreal.

 

[Better Call Sal]

That’s awesome! Did you mention HFBoards to him lol?

Haha I didn’t, didn’t converse with him a ton aside from it just to respect the number of people. Thought the reaction itself was enough.

 

[OmNomNom]

lol oh man, on Devils All Day All Night, one Steven Donald Scebelo got this picture w Graves and Marino at sportsminded

someone help marino w his buttons please

Hughes for Josh Anderson. The trade is 1 for 1. Aka something you’ll only hear in your mind after 14 hits of acid.

To be fair, Fitz has admitted to following players over time before a trade. I don’t doubt Fitz called about Anderson and may have called multiple times. Of course if you know anything about Fitz he isn’t going to overpay. He’s done a nice job as a value trader. Hard to see that changing now.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Not even then, but you may hear cherubs or the sound of Rice Crispies in milk.


So I’ve heard, read, no, heard. Let’s go with heard.

@njdevils1982 “over the vomit that was on display last night.....what a terrible colour combo all around”


Enjoy a WHOPPER during the game on Friday. See if thats better

 

[NjDevsRR]

Looks like I’ll be missing another game for this chick on Tuesday. I expect my First Deputy of Dano, @Guttersniped , to be posting Dano memes in the GDT.

And @Cheddabombs to make up on the Pepe quota.
