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

[Call Me Al]

i could care less about prospect rankings with the amount of under 25 talent that we have on the actual nhl roster.

minus goalie, just about every important position that you need to build a stanley cup champion is accounted for we just need to find the right pieces to augment them. sure, young cost controlled pieces for ELCs will help but we can be just fine with what we have

First time ever playing 80 games in a season. Played less then 50 games the year prior. Only 59 the year before that. Hadn't played 70+since 18-19.

82 last year was impressive, but also as outlierly as you can get. His durability is not a strength.

Wow, you mean the guy who is the all-time leader in hits hasn't stayed healthy over his career? This is surprising.

Also surprisingly not germane at all to the point I was making which was to simply imagine this man's life for a second, even if his career is likely over. I imagine both Martin and Clutterbuck will get an invite to Islanders camp if they want it but they will have to win their jobs.

Dude I was backing up your point, not arguing against you.

I guess I should have responded to the guy who used the 82 gp's as a positive but jeesh.

Fair enough, but here's a tip from one contentious person to another - when you want to quote someone and add something to their point, say something like, 'To add to this' or 'Just adding to this', especially if it's someone with whom you often disagree. Otherwise, yeah, multi-quoting would've helped.

Maybe there were some subconscious drivers which made an agreeable post look argumentative.

But anyways, I feel our 4th line is pretty filled, If there is an add it should be more 3rd line.

Where do we think Tatar lines up?

Doesn't seem like playing on Hughes's wing is an option.

He played well with Nico, but that kind of seems like Timo's spot.

Is 3rd line an option. Say Tatar Haula Noesen?

Let’s see if he can recapture the magic he had with NJ. If he doesn’t outplay Mercer and Palat to carve out a top six role he probably has to play down with Hischier on the third line.

Truly a frightening found footage movie if you're a wings fan.

Ian old so I’m not sure I get that one

Ian old so I’m not sure I get that one

I'm trying to figure out how to get my hand through your monitor or phone so I can slap you.

Shouldn't be too hard, lots of room in those old timey phone he uses

 

[njdevils1982]

Ian old so I’m not sure I get that one

your name is "Ian" and you refer to yourself in the third person?

 

[JrFischer54]

We only have one prospect in the top 100 ranking according to Elite prospects



Press the right arrow on the picture to see the list.

That’s a good thing. It shows the kids are where they belong in the nhl. Now if this is the case in say 5 years that’s a worry.

You don’t want to do that to a lawyer.

Man do I miss the tailgate and the tunnel walk. Knock it all you want but that building was rocking.

 

[Xirik]

I'd just say you did it to yourself.

Was it pitts/wsh/bos philosophy in the last ~5 years?

those 2 guys are lou's wet dream. they'll have front office jobs within 12 months of retiring.

That's a lot of stirring.
