Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2023-24 season part II

[Emperoreddy]

I like Weekes, and clearly he has connections, but recently he’s been doing this teasing thing a little too much with little actually coming to fruition afterwards. This doesn’t excite me like it would have other years.

Honestly I feel it's more him speculating due to Dougie going on LTIR then any actual insider news

 

[Devils Trap]

I like how he covered himself in every case.

Goalie, D and more lol

 

[OmNomNom]

If they lose to CBJ tonight, they might just burn it to the ground with a 21-22-7 record and losing to one of the shittest teams in the league

come on sevo get a hatty

Yep, definitely a very, very good possibility that’s the case

 

[MVP Zacha]

Should really get Mason Geertsen back. Guy can play offense and defense. Total swiss army knife.

 

[OmNomNom]

I'll take DeSimone over Foote, that guy was a trainwreck on Brylin night

 

[Guttersniped]

Regarding the jersey, this is my guess at what it will look like based on what I've been told by people that know... plus the merch that has been trickling out in the Devils Den that supports it. The only thing that is unknown for me is whether the shoulders are black or not. I saw something that leads me to think they are going to be black.

My blood sweat and tears are in my art.

I know we don’t need to keep bringing Sharangovich up again and again, but this is important. I stopped following his page when he was traded, but I just decided to check it again, but three days ago he posted a pic of his completed 10,000 piece Eiffel Tower Lego set I love it.

Still the easiest guy to root for. Really happy he’s doing well in Calgary

The best part about it is you know he was genuinely proud of this because he posed there and got his wife or someone to take the picture.

I mean, I don’t blame him. 10,000 pieces is a lotttt. I’d be beaming with pride too lol

DeSimone is from NY, he’s probably excited about getting good pizza again.

Damn straight, East Amherst is a suburb of Buffalo so he grew up on real pizza instead of that shitty cardboard grease you guys think is fit for human consumption

NY has so much more to offer on the culinary side. There is good deli, and top notch Chinese food as well. Let's give credit where credit is due.

You can wander down 4 blocks in New York City and get almost any kind of food you want from any part of the world. A foodies dream

I know. That was just me being silly.

As someone who lives in NYC, don't forget the rats possibly running past you or the heaps of garbage bags you'll see too

I thought you were going to say "don't forget the rats possibly racing you to the food"

 

[bossram]

Desimone is A Guy. Right now, the Devils need Some Guys to play. Not much more than that.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Also a possibility sometimes

Weekes is so annoying now. Such loser behaviour.

Basically gave up any insider status or credibility in exchange for click/engagement bait troll posts. He's the new Eklund.

 

[Devils Trap]

Regardless of anything doubt we would announce a trade today with a game in a few hours.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Of course, I couldn't agree with you more on Logan Morrison. I think he's going to be a very good NHLer.

If I was going to look for an under-the-radar, low-trade-cost option to give a shot as 4C, I would certainly give a look to Alex Turcotte, who has really been buried on the Los Angeles depth chart and, in my opinion, not developed particularly well by the team.

Turcotte is a terrific skater who plays a high-compete two-way game. It's highly unlikely he ever develops into the big-time, top-six scorer LA envisioned when they drafted him #5 overall, but he's looked very good in the AHL this year in my opinion and is NHL ready.

The Kings top organizational need right now is probably LD, where the Devils just happen to be organizationally pretty deep. Another interesting factor is that Jack Hughes and Alex Turcotte are apparently pretty close friends. A realistic trade scenario would be something along the lines of Misyul + Bowers + mid-round pick for Turcotte, which is certainly manageable. The Devils would have to offer a bit more simply because of the optics of trading a former #5 overall pick, but I doubt it would be too heavy with Turcotte unlikely to get a shot to squeeze into the Kings' C rotation of Kopitar/Dubois/Danault.

Imo I wouldn't trade Misyul he has progressed really well and he can skate but plays more of a stay at home role and has a pretty decent shot....Turcotte is trending towards being a bust imo....

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Would not be opposed to Coleman + Markstrom either

I 100% would be at the cost of Gritz, Casey, Lenni, Holtz, Mercer, a first, etc. Given the ridiculous market, and the absurd amount of injuries, plus losing Mikey, there is no chance we should be buyers. If the market were different and these guys could be had for a reasonable cost, fine. But I'm not ready to part with a single valuable asset with the main return being Markstrom. No thanks.

No DuClair rumors? fooey
