I honestly didn’t realize Palat was missing when wondering how the hell Foote is on the 3rd line lol.
So Pesce is close, at least.
my hope is they just want them there as emergency / warm bodies.The White-Desimone pair was a dumpster fire in both preseason games they played.
I also can’t believe Labanc didn’t get more of a look with our thin depth up front. They did him kind of dirty
No he wasn’t, at least not in any sense other than compared to how good he can be. He was still a net positive on the ice even with one f***ing shoulder
Yea I would flip Siegenthaler and Dillon tooThat top 4 on D is not fleet of foot at all. Probably my biggest concern heading into the early portion of the season. Hamilton can move the puck nicely but not sure about the other 3. Luke and Pesce out really hurts our transition in the top 4. Hopefully we can do just enough to get by early while guys are working their way back towards playing.

No. They are very casual fans. If something Devils related bubbles up into the general sports environment they will notice. My oldest lives in a building with a buddy who is a Devils fan so he will will watch some games and go to see them when they play the Caps (they live near DC) but he didn’t grow up with hockey in his environment outside me watching it or play it. My youngest is a bit more of a fan. As a group they are primarily NFL fans. Then NBA then Devils. It’s proof that nurture only goes so far.
It depends. For now I’m guessing he’s staying with a veteran in a nice house so probably 10 or 11 feet. If he ends up renting short term condo at some point it is more likely 9 feetWhat do you think his ceiling is?
His ceiling if everything went right is like Quinn Hughes without the elite speed and acceleration but that’s obviously an unlikely outcome. More realistically I think he’ll end up being #2/3D two way that’ll be on our PP2 (but could be a PP1 guy) and chips in like 40ish pts. Could also be a bit better than that and be like a Spurgeon or RafalskiWhat do you think his ceiling is?
my big thing with Casey is what they do if he comes in and balls out? Luke will be back in a month or so
Obviously not a bad problem to have, just interesting to think about.
