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

[jkrdevil]

Well at least it was fun to dream with the Hellebuyck/Thompson/Askarov/Saros rumors.

Not closing the door on those. 1. The Dreger tweet sounds like a strategic leak letting the other teams know that we can walk away so they can’t drive up the price. 2. A veteran depth backup means they may want to start Schmid in Utica (especially with Daws hurt), so signing a depth guy doesn’t preclude a trade either as any trade likely means flipping VV.

Raanta and Andersen would be fine, I'd take Varlamov if he's cheap, but I will barf if we get any of the other ones.

Grit is overrated. You know what isn’t overrated? Sociopathic violence. Not hockey fighting. Genuine unconscionable stick wielding cheap shots are the way to go. The league doesn’t care about the players and the players don’t care about themselves. The league rewards cheap shots so why not take advantage? If NJ wants to win they’d add a line of guys who just bludgeon and shank guys.

Bad day at the Supreme Court for you, solicitor?

This is true. Racists, abusers, etc, all welcome on the Jerks

Also as a Habs fan this Devils board is impressive. Very peaceful and rational takes, a far cry from the Habs board.

You know (checks notes) there's still room aboard the Devils train... please recall the late 80s into the mid 90s when we built our team with proud Canadiens alumni both in coaching and players. Join us!

I actually understand it in OT because possession is so valuable in OT, specifically.

The difference between 60% and 50% faceoffs over 20 overtime games is at best 3 points in the standings. Valuable but not worth paying a premium for.

For me, the web is hit or miss but the app is working.

Reminds me of the old days of refreshing tsn.ca every 5 seconds to see if Elias re-signed.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Well Twitter ruined the day

 

[DEVILS130]

Guessing we’re not doing much today. Bottom six forward, RD, goalie perhaps?

Lou's press release carrier pigeon had to take breaks between flights.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Yeah twitter is at least incredibly buggy today to the point of being unusable it appears, could be a godsend actually heh.

A couple of reports stating that we might have a deal for a goalie lined up, but first let me tell you about RAID: Shadow Legends, a new mobile RPG with amazing HD graphics.

These kinds of tweet leaks always seem like posturing to me. The Devils want Helle . they just want the asking price, or salary demands to come down a bit before they pounce. Vanecek is a three time proven loser in the playoffs, and Schmid is too much of a gamble to bank on.

 

[Blackjack]

Twitter still down and hf gonna crash the moment the leafs sign someone more interesting than Ryan Reaves lmao

I guess I can just refresh TSN

No to Wheeler. There were many signals over the years that he was either a bad apple in the locker room OR created a dynamic of rifts with his leadership. The stuff with E. Kane, Laine. Don't bring that to NJ

 

[Darkauron]

Also Elon made is so you cant view tweets without and account now too so. f*** him.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Halak.

 

[Bleedred]

Awwww hell nawwwww.

Literally EWWW to all of these.

But I wouldn’t mind a couple of them for the AHL to be the third string guy. Like Brossoit.

Problem is that all of them will get NHL deals.

Korpisalo last year is almost like if Blackwood had an up year. Go back and look at all the .8xx seasons he’s had. He’s had like 3 adequate seasons in the league out of 8 total.

Raanta is injury prone, old and burnt crispity.

Halak is even older and even more well-done than that steak you forgot about on the grill.

YUCK to literally all of these, other than Brossoit, because I think there’s a greater chance you can sign him for the AHL, but he did come off of season ending injury in the playoffs.

Korpisalo will get an NHL deal because of last year and likely too much.

Raanta probably will too, but he’s too old and injury prone.

Halak is just way too old and probably shouldn’t be in the league anymore.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

I see Blue checks can still use Twitter. When is someone going to make a suitable alternate to Twitter.

Mascot in full troll mode already lmfao.
