Alex not William.sounds like Carrier back to Nashville. Would have liked him for the 3rd or 4th line.
Defensemen not the VGK 4th liner

And he DESERVED to be down there. He started the season in the top 6 and was legitimately like an ECHL player. BRUTAL underlying numbers and from games 2-7 of the year he had THREE SHOTS
Don't know, but I'm the freak who took the day off from work to follow the action whenever it startswhat time do we boogie tomorrow? noon EST?
god damnit! mixing up my frenchies
Florida just won the Cup and their only righty forwards were Reinhart, Rodrigues, Stenlund (barely played), and Okposo (barely played)
it isn't a big deal
I understand both of these but that doesnt change that, ideally, more right handed shots allows for more plays that can be made from different anglesI feel like we talked about this the other day. Handness doesn’t matter if they prefer playing on their offhand.
Right now on the wings:
LW:
Palat
Cotter
Foote
MacDermid
Haula (if not at C)
RW:
Bratt
Meier
Mercer
Bastian
Lazar (if not at C)
If anything we need to target left wings

No need to apologize at all. What you summed up in that post is exactly what the Devils need. Should be interesting how things shake out tomorrow.With little to do on a Sunday in bed as usual, I wrote too much above but that is what I think
Sorry for the lengthy post above.
Lets Go Devils
Righties on defense are more valued simply because there aren't as many of them

honestly noesen would be a perfect slot in for our 3rd line RW. and with an opportunity to also jump up to 2nd line if mercer runs coldSince we're doing a Supermarket Sweep of the Hurricanes, throw Stef Noesen in the cart too
I heard somewhere that 60% of defensemen are LHD and 40% RHD.
That puts roughly 96 regularly rostered defenseman of each. There's a few holdouts from 10+ years ago when teams didn't really care and whatever Buffalo is doing now, but we'll ignore that.
That means the 96th best LHD, or the worst regular rostered player in the league at that position is as good as the 77th best RHD. The majority of 3rd pair RHD wouldn't even be in the league if they were LHD.
All the proof you need is this past draft, where 3/4 of the top defensemen were LHD and the top 3 picked defensemen were all RHD.
I agree. Fitz's moves make me nervous because of this. But, you can't accomplish something great if you don't try. And at least he's trying.I just don't see them winning the cup next year, even if they have the talent to do so. They're so inexperienced
I think people REALLY underestimate the talent of that Panthers team to focus on the physicality. Their 5-8 forwards were Tarasenko, Rodrigues, Lundell, and Bennett. Their 8th guy would be our 5th. I do agree the 23-24 Devils probably don't beat the Rangers but the 22-23 Devils would've.
I think hell be on our third line with Palat healthy and consistently top-6, finallyIt appears Paul Cotter is pretty good in the shootout too. Can't find his percentage right now but his mitts seem pretty silky for a bottom 6er
What if we splurge on Stamkos for 3-4 years?
I think it'd be unwise to give anything over 2 yearsWhat if we splurge on Stamkos for 3-4 years?
Stamkos would also fit in as the kind of pkayer who isnt huge and hits a ton but is skilled enough to sacrifice that forRumors were he turned down 3 AAV for 8 years from TB. Sounded like her wanted more AAV and I guess less years. So maybe 5 and 5? Not sure I want to do that.

Looks like Nashville is willing to do 3-4 yrs on stammer somewhere in the 6's. I'd bet he ends up there...unless the Rangers offer similar money
Dont forget to pack a wife...holiday here in canada tomorrow (but not in cambodia)
After Tanev inks and they add another D they'll be close to capped out. Unless they move Marner...which looks like it won't happen till later in the summer, if it does at allToronto I guess might be possible also havent looked at their cap situation.
