So not an amazing fish but hard to fish against?People eat them, I don't. I just like to catch them. They're aggressive and fun.
Annoying is not the word, but dogshit offense has been correct after season 1 and on paper this roster looks even offensively worse. S**t Kyle Criscuolo and Xavier Parent signings would be a huge improvement over the majority of these forwards.
It is only July 3, but with all these guys already signed it's not like we can expect a lot more. I'm sure McKinnon will be signing his normal 2-way AHL contracts over the next few weeks. That only means Adirondack's roster will be filling up.
Whats our hit rate on Finnish players we drafted anyway?
Based on ice time, Im happy with:
Bratt/Mercer-Hischier-Meier
Palat-Hughes-Mercer/Bratt
Tatar-Haula-Noesen
Cotter-Lazar-Bastian
MacDermaid, Foote
Hughes-Pesce
Siegenthaler-Hamilton
Dillon-Nemec
DeSimone, Hattaka
Markstrom
Allen

I started a few days ago. Made a nice list and then watched a bunch go and scratched the list. I did it the last 2 seasons and all I got was pissed off.I’m following the fringe signings way too closely, unfortunately.
Centers still available (like it matters lol)
Riley Damiani 24 C
Rourke Chartier 28 C
Peter Abbandonato 26 C
Frederik Olofsson 28 C/LW {Veteran >320 GP}
Oskar Steen 26 C/RW {Veteran >320 GP}
keefe loves mix blender lines
its gonna be a trip
be irie
Agree with this entirely. Kovecvic I think will be the #7 Dman though.Based on ice time, Im happy with:

We literally did that and have multiple guys that can do exactly what you said and have spent time capably playing in the top 6 of other top teams as filler guys.Or maybe you can just add another winger with some size and grit willing to crash the net on occasions that is capable of playing in the top 6....that seems a little easier
Jeez Bertuzzi sucks and the contract he got is terrible. Thank god we didn’t do that.That's not my job but I think there were a bunch this FA period.. Bertuzzi would've been a good target.
fitz essentially confirmed we were in on helenius, but got convinced to pick up silayev
So I came across something that either hasn’t been formally announced or was only a very quiet addition and won’t be announced.
But Manny Legace is now listed on the Devils website as head amateur goalie scout/development coach. Not sure how new this is, as he’s not listed as working anywhere in 23-24 on elite prospects, but last worked as the goalie coach for the Blue Jackets in 22-23.
I’m starting to remember maybe this was something we discussed months ago? Or maybe I’m just imagining that now after the fact that I saw him in the team directory?
I’m not sure who had this role before he did or if it’s a new position.
What’s the latest info on Michael McLeod. UFA/RFA ? Legal standing now? Any chance of a return?
There is no truth in saying elite highly skilled players are easy to play against.
Short of an outright dismissal of thr charges or an acquittal where it turns out everything was some sort of misunderstanding about him I think he’s played his last NHL game. If there is real testimony and we learn thr details it will be close to impossible to accept him back. Plus the league probably doesn’t formally suspend that group of players until after the resolution of thr prosecution so it’s possible they aren’t even eligible to play for another four or five years if ever.What’s the latest info on Michael McLeod.

1 skinny, 1 medium, 2 fat!I actually think the defense has been a far bigger culprit in the soft meme tbh, it’s not like forwards are trying to stop other forwards one on one in front of the net the majority of the time. When you have a small, finesse D that’s a lot more impactful in letting other forwards skate without physical pushback and park in front of the net than having small, finesse forwards, hence Fitz getting the bulldozer out there.
The issue with the forwards isn’t that they’re soft necessarily, it’s that they’re small and inherently more of an injury risk against other teams’ physical players. Plus there just isn’t enough variety there, you do need one big guy on each line to balance things out a little bit. You can’t only have one way to score, that is what makes you easier to shut down when skill gets clamped down on in bigger games.
