It’s arbitrary. The Kings would be further down if Clarke wasn’t still in the AHL but he is.
This kind of thing is why I like the Pronman method of just doing U23.

I had one in my cart and now it's completely removed. This is actually insane. Idk how they screwed this up so bad. It's baffling.The Adidas jerseys are completely gone from the site it seems. This is terribly disappointing. I wanted to order one, but I know that the Hughes one won't come in until after the game. THey had a blank one up, but couldn't tell if you could get it customized later. The NHL blows. Bettman should be fired - his time has long gone, he's a dinosaur and the league is suffering for his old way of leading.
Thanks, homie.
This is cool, but a lil expensive.
and you know I've gotta get one of these:

While I don't like to be critical of Wheeler because he's a good guy who puts the work in, I've always felt his rankings were severely lacking.
Still, with no Nemec & Hughes, the Devils severely drop. It's tough to complain, considering Hughes & Nemec both look every bit like future Norris candidates.
Right now, I'd look at our top 7 as something like:
1 Casey
2 Gritsyuk
3 Vilen
4 Bardakov
5 Karpovich
6 Barabosha
7 Orlov
But Wheeler tends to overlook both non-high profile Russians and defensive defensemen, and tends to hang onto his old favorites who haven't developed, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had AHL hopefuls like Salminen and Shlaine in his top 5.
But with the loss of blue-chippers Hughes, Nemec and Holtz, I'd say the strength of the NJ system is Russian depth prospects, since the team has drafted extremely well there in recent years. Still, I agree with you that, right now, it's probably not a top 20 prospect pool.
Zaitsev is one of those defenders who is unremarkable in most areas but just keeps progressing up levels, earning more minutes and defending well. He’s now an everyday KHL defender who defends the rush and the cycle at a high level for his game and moves the puck efficiently. I think he should give North America a shot — and that the Devils should consider signing him.
Picture a shot-blocking, hard-nosed, stay-at-home defender who defends at a high enough level and can move the puck just enough to maybe make that style work in a game with fewer and fewer of those types left. That’s Okhotyuk. A decade or two ago, he would have been closer to the norm than to the exception but now he’s angling to prove he can be the latter. He’s a throwback in the truest sense and a darn good one. And while he’s got some limitations in his defensive game, he’ll be a fine NHLer.
Bring back Reebok
Wait...WHAT?Oh f***ing god, I forgot Parise signed with the Avs since they're in tomorrow.....
Bring back Reebok
Nico was happiest when chatting about Bratt. Devils have good dudes. Hockey players are good dudes (in general).
Welcome back Devils faithful.

I mean, it's the NHL. A league that seems to actively try to make being a fan more difficult.Whether the Devils, Adidas and/or the NHL, this SS jersey was handled HORRIBLY! So much money was lost. Really head scratching.
100% so much for “growing” the league.I mean, it's the NHL. A league that seems to actively try to make being a fan more difficult.

ran into Timo at the hoboken terminal an hour ago, asked him how he was and he gave the thumbs up..
Can we just call him voldemortWe got more cap relief coming for *redacted*
Relevant question for this thread, is Fitz going to use any of the freed up cap space from LTIR and other things to try and jump start this team since he won't fire Ruff?
