Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2023 training camp edition

[MachoDiablo]

The best part about capitalism is you can choose not to participate whenever you want.

I can quit my job?!

 

[JimEIV]

I can quit my job?!

Sure. What's stopping you? Private ownership and trade has nothing to do with with your decision or desire to work or not

 

[njdevils1982]

Ridiculous! Should of been a 96% discount!

 

[Better Call Sal]

Media day today, which is always fun #forthecontent.

I'm finishing up my 23-24 season video today if I get the chance! Will share as soon as I complete it.

How many PTOs do we have this year? It's gotta be a record low, no?

 

[OmNomNom]

Officials broke ground Tuesday on a new pedestrian bridge that will make traveling in Downtown Newark easier and safer.

Believe we're just waiting for Kaberle's response

Wonderful piece.

It’s Time to Induct Lou Lamoriello into the Devils Ring of Honor

Earlier this week, the Devils announced they’ll induct another honoree into the Ring of Honor. With all due respect to the other candidates, the next person to go in should be Lou Lamoriello.

the only one that was announced was that guy from the Flyers. I don't even remember his name.

I love having the freedom to starve to death

totally agree. put him in the neglected, meaningless ‘ring of honor’ whatever that is. that’s very fitting, and it’s exactly where he belongs.

So long as he only wants venison, wild boar, or pheasant.

 

[JimEIV]

I don't have any boar...but you got me thinking.

A half dozen of spiney lobster tails my buddy dove for. Two pheasants another buddy shot. Probably 20 lbs of venison left that I harvested. A few moose steaks my dad shot in Idaho.

I get a lot of clams to from another friend. We all trade. I trade venison summer sausage, hot dogs, jerky for game birds and shell fish. I like pheasants for the feathers to tie flies and then I trade flies I tied.

It's not really "trade" we give what we have an abundance of to each other.

I wouldn't be opposed to giving Lou his own banner - after he retires. The islanderes gave Al Arbour his own banner.

IMO the Ring of Honor should be for important players who are worth recognizing but don't quite reach the level of number retirement (MacLean, Brylin, Gionta, etc) OR non-players of importance (Doc, Lemaire, Burns).

A giant LOU with three cups up in the rafters next to the five boys would be a lot of fun.

They already began with McMullen...if they went the player route maybe you start with the Devils first Captain in Don Lever or something along those lines

Lou is never going to retire. He is going to die while still working. Id much rather him do it now before its too late or he can barely function

 

[MartyOwns]

how about we give him a urinal instead? something like this in the club seats

He may not work until he dies if he gets fired before that. I can't think he'll have another GM or hockey ops president job after this, just because he'll be well into his 80s by the time he's done with this job. He may work for the Islanders or possibly us in one of those ''Celebratory'' roles, if he has no other opportunities.

I thought that holding leadership positions for 80-year-olds was not a problem.

 

[Bleedred]

I figure by the time he's done with the Islanders, he could be at least 83.

I'm not sure how many year contract he just got, but I figure he's safe this year, no matter what happens. If they're bad the next two years or at least in the second year, he's probably not coming back for 25-26, if I had to guess.

 

[Devs3cups]

Just some guys being dudes.

Moose ribeye? Moose filet? Moose brisket? Moose sirloin? I'd expect Moose to be pretty lean and the tougher cuts would need to be slow cooked for a long time to soften them up. Likely braising? I'd be surprised if it was fatty enough to be amenable to smoking bbq style but maybe parts of it can be?

Jack!
