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

The question I ask regarding Lebanc is, who is our 13th forward? Foote? MacDermid? Halonen? Is Lebanc a better 13th forward than these players?

It depends on who gets hurt to be replaced.

If we need to fill a scoring role, Labanc is probably the better bet.

If we need to replace a bastian, or a lazar, or a cotter, or a haula, or a palat, etc then you do not want Labanc

I’m surprised that Pesce didn’t go on the trip if he really is that close. Even if he wasn’t gonna play.

I figured he’d wanna go on the trip just to see Prague with the boys.

But maybe he has no desire to go if he’s not playing, and would rather stay home with his family and sleep in his own bed for that entire week.

I assumed that Luke may have even been on the trip, just for the experience, despite not being nearly ready.

They said there won’t be much practice time over there so it made sense to keep Pesce back here where he’d get more reps

Seeing the constant misspelling of his name actually fooled me into thinking that I may have been spelling his name wrong all along now for as many years as he’s been playing in the league.

I’ll be so mad if this is the end of the road for Bastian. Rempe ended his career then, can’t let that happen.

He's already played a couple of preseason games. Didn't he practice today?

I don't think this is the end of the road for him. But he's been very injury riddled for the last 2 years, and that's not all to do with Rempe.

Nothing unexpected here.
