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

[billingtons ghost]

Would anyone dare try to sign any of those guys lol...I mean in a league that drafted garbage like Malloux I can't completely rule out someone going off the reservation

Hey man. I'm the last person to call someone out from my own generation since I still own a Redskin hat but 'off the res' is a no no these days

 

[Oneiro]

Getting Stamkos, in addition to everything else, would make this the most Rangers-esque off-season this franchise has ever had.

Stammer is my favorite non-Devil ever so I'll be excited but we can allocate better.

 

[billingtons ghost]

I think he was trying to say earlier that Siegenthaler was never good. Our system or something made him look better and that’s why they didn’t pay him more because they knew he wasn’t good is what it was sounding like originally.

I kinda thought that he played pretty well and our system made him look awful last year. Broken foot didn't help

 

[megajake]

it would be so exciting to see Stammer in a devils jersey. Him playing with Jack would be heaven

 

[billingtons ghost]

Would LOVE Marchessault next to Bratt/Jack if they can swing that tomorrow and according to Weekes they're looking at a top 6 wing

I'd love chandler Stevenson too.

Chandler Stephenson*

 

[billingtons ghost]

Yeah other moves you could at least put forth a justifiable reason. We let Boqvist walk so he could go sign a f***ing minimum. It 100% had to be Fitz just going “tOo sMaLl”. He should’ve been retained and it also should’ve been Suter over Nosek.

Well it could be that he's just really not an NHLer. The Bruins are a good team who lost alot of good players but still didn't have room for this guy?

I mean if you like small tweener guys with just enough skill to look like they should be actually scoring goals but never do.

There's about twenty other guys we should bring in before him, and yeah...he plays small considering the rest of our team's lack of size. If it was Zetterlund then size doesn't matter bc of his engine.

The only reason boqvist gets any play at all in this board is bc he's was our draft pick and we overrate him like Holtz and Schmid.

Chandler Stephenson*

I thank you

Servalli saying 4-6 teams are going to be talking to Dillion

 

[beekay414]

Seravalli says a f***ing lot tbh

You know what though, it's kind of fun when people just want to join the squad. So many years in this league spent as an afterthought as a desirable location for players. It's cool when guys are like, "yep, going to Jersey"

i heard that 60% of defensemen are left handed every time they play

I heard that 50% of defensemen play on the left and 50% play on the right irrespective of handedness. Exactly 0% play the middle defenseman position.

andreas f***ing johnsson

Marcus f***ing Johansson too.

 

[njdevils1982]

Marcus f***ing Johansson too.

stafford and grabner in the same f***ing season man, it happened.

 

[Alex NJD]

Don't think its a great fit but would be kind of cool. Biggest problem with Stammer is he and Jack play the same spot on the PP, though I'm sure they could figure it out and move Bratt to PP2? Would be cool to see him pot #600 in a Devils jersey

He’s chasing names

 

[Hisch13r]

If we are grabbing a bonafide top 6er then it’d make sense to go for a lesser 3LD than Dillon

 

[Devil X]

I dunno why but I think Stamkos either ends up with the Red Wings Maple Leafs Rangers or they figure something out with the Lightning. I’d be surprised if he signs anywhere but those places.

Interestingly enough that’s the first rumor I’ve seen for the Devils about any available forward.

 

[Better Call Sal]

He had that sick 2013 with Detroit and I'm pretty sure he scored 2 goals opening night v the Isles and I was convinced he'd score 30. Him and Jiri Tlusty will forever be the worst first Devils goal scorers of the season I think I'll see in my life time.

EDIT: I found both goals.....

(LOL @ Chico)

(1:34 if it resets)


God help us all for surviving this era of Devils hockey

I bring it up anytime he is mentioned again but I found a Damien Brunner player shirt on Amazon when he was on the team and bought it. I liked him a lot and thought he would be great for us. Boy was I wrong. Still had a couple of nice goals while he was here though.

Jack should be on the opposite wall anyway since he actually has a functional 1-timer. Dougie at the point, Stamkos at the left wall, Meier either in the bumper spot or net front, and then i think any one of us would be successful as the fifth player.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

We need a LHD that can play with Hamilton on 2nd pair of Siegenthaller can regain his form under Keefe. Dillon seems like the logical choice.

 

[MasterofGrond]

No thanks on Stamkos. Gonna be a hand grenade if a contract.

Hurts me to say that though.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

It would be one of Stamkos or Pesce. I doubt we can afford both.

Note i'm totally fine in not signing Pesce if it means that Stamkos signs. Nemec can handle playing 2RD and Kovacevic is fine as a 3RD.

What UFA deal is a good contract for a long time successful player?
