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

[Better Call Sal]

Cam and Strick had Coleman on for their latest episode. Just starting his interview now, I'm sure there will be some Devils related stuff for those interested.

you were right - talked about Lou, hair policy, Hallsy in 2018 (how beast he was), hughes (his confidence)

Maybe I've just fallen down a 17-18 rabbit hole after the Coleman interview, but it straight up bums me out that this guy isn't in the league anymore.

f*** Kucherov forever for that hit in the playoffs.

smith was one of very few veteran leaders in that room, something we'll definitely need if keefe is the player's coach he's made out to be.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Yeah but he sucks.

I don't think a vet leader needs to be a star, but I do think they shouldn't be an active hindrance to the team, especially by taking regular horrendous penalties. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously if I were on the team, for sure.

This is a large part of what they're paying Palat for. Time to step up. I'm assuming they're going to bring in a vet or three as well.

I need to see that house.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

10OA for Askarov. That would be the ideal trade in my opinion. Give to get.

 

[NJDevs26]

I need to see that house.

I was gonna ask how is he able to afford a house valued at $3 million making barely $1 a year, but looking up CapFriendly dude did make some decent enough money in his prime, almost forget he was a legit top four (albeit for a rebuilding Ranger team) but guys like him when they lose a step it's particularly hindering.

he very well may suck, but he only sucks for $2M. if he's not going to be there as a veteran voice, i very much hope fitz has someone else in mind to bring in.

You're not fooling me.

Pretty frugal for a hockey player

 

[Saugus]

He was an interior decorator? His house looks like shit.

Palat? Hamilton? Haula?

I'm actually surprised he bought a house here, since it was only 2 years.

Unless he had planned to settle down and retire here, and obviously he won't be doing that, unless plans have now changed since 2 years ago. He could have still done that and just played somewhere else for a year or two or however long, then came back here to retire. Players have done that before.

I'm not at all surprised that he's done here. I never thought he'd be re-signed, no matter how many games he got into.

Anyway, I'm gonna look this up (since I know the sites to look up, they're public) as it's better than watching the Rangers (probably) punk the Panthers again, all the while ESPN skips and lags on my TV.

Sorry if this isn’t allowed to be posted here. I was able to find this in a minute by looking him up on a free public site. I filtered to 35 years old, since it comes up with like 60 people named Brendan Smith that have lived in New Jersey.

And there were even 4 or 5 Brendan Smith’s age 35, but I knew by seeing Raleigh, NC and Rye, NY, as well as several Michigan listings in previous locations that I had found our guy.
