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

[Guadana]

Squires is very good.
I didnt saw Filmon at all, I dont know is he playing or just do nothing, Stillman is active but making mistakes. Melovsky is looking like a player who is doing everything fine but nothing flashy 0 we just need to see how he will translate his game on a new level. Casey doesnt look solid, I believe he is nervous and trying to do more, dont hurry, man, we believe in you.

Filmon is out injured unfortunately.

Parent...I just like that kid every time I see him. I know he's undersized. But I like him.

Casey is amazingly poised.

Does Erika's new gig have her working more daytime hours and less nights/weekend? Just asking because with a little kid at daycare all day then you have to work and get home well after they're asleep you miss a lot of time in the precious early years and knowing firsthand with a wife that travels a lot and has 2 younger kids that can be gut wrenching for a professional mom to make that sacrifice.

That combined with an increase in salary might have been the story in a nutshell but just a hunch.

It did not sound like her decision in the video goodbye she posted when she said MSG had decided not to renew her contract and go in a different direction

Squires climbing the prospect ranks?

of course he should in theory. In fact guys over him are playing on levels above.
May be we should think about put him above Karpovich. Its only start of the second year after the draft but technically he isnt regular KHLer yet. I dont know how we can compare Squires and Malek - both looked fine from the stat level for their stages, both are not really impressive, nor bad. I would still prefer to rank goalies separately. Am... thats all. Orlov is playing third pair role after season with 62 KHL games, Misyul was very solid as defensive defenseman and has tonns of experience, Yegorov is really talented goalie - still would prefer to have them in different pools, Vilen at least produced on a much more impressive rate than Squiers, still have better tools for his role. Hatakka - he is close to be NHLer.
So may be one-two steps forward in rankings.

Filmon is out injured unfortunately.

Thanks a lot. Its sad. I was not impressive from what I saw previous season in my limited views, wanted to see him after the summer. Hope he will return at least for preseason games.

Still time left before the season to re-poll

 

[Darkauron]

Squires is f***ing amazing. He has potential to play in the nhl next year, but a year in the AHL next year and he will be fire.

Still time left before the season to re-poll

Heh...

No.

 

[Guadana]

Bertuzzi 84 - Parent 67 - Stillman 61
Brown 62 - Malone 41 - Squires 77
Graham 70 - Melovsky 83 - Wendt 73
Sim 53 - Ghantous 76 - Pikkarainen 54

Vilen 38 - Casey 24
MacKinnon 72 - Diotte 55
van de Leest 81 - Sova 74

I made roster with numbers. But they are changing lines.

@Nubmer6 would be like.

 

[BostonDevil]

Throwing this out there: Luke got hurt filming the stuff for the NHL '25 cover.

There's your curse!

 

[Xirik]

We got Nathan MacKinnon?

 

[Guadana]

We got Nathan MacKinnon?

and Todd Bertuzzi

 

[Cheddabombs]

We're so back

 

[Mgd31]

French Bratt!!!

 

[Hisch13r]

What’s the mercy rule?

 

[Guadana]

Finally. Chase did it. Nice play. Looks like Devils have some passing sturcture.

 

[JK3]

Holy moly

 

[Xirik]

 

[RNCDevil]

Preseason passing from the Devils? Nope. Lively accurate passing, good shooting and those Casey zone entries...whew... It might be that Ottawa decided to have a kegger last night.

 

[Guadana]

What I really like Chase has is his motor. If he will clear his positionals he has potential.

Casey is looking better in the second. Most of his deep driving will not work on NHL level but at least he can enter into the O zone.

 

[njdevils1982]

Erika clearly aged out of that role already being in her 30s.

At least it’s not that one that looked fake and like a Barbie doll, who they used to have on sometimes as a guest the last two seasons during intermissions.

i don't remember ron duguay being on any of our telecasts the last couple of seasons

Well I’d hope you like that considering it’s the only thing he has.

 

[Guadana]

But Wendt has wheels too. I think who will be more accurate and can play pk - will have more chance.

Well I’d hope you like that considering it’s the only thing he has.

He isnt top-20 Devils prospect in my view. When I see rankings of different writers who is putting him in the top-5 or even top-10 of Devils prospects - is telling me a lot about writers.

But at least I can admit Chase is physical and his hands are near NHL average. The question is his decision making and positional game.
