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

[britdevil]

Palat with consistent top-6 time and a healthy lineup could also maybe hit 60

Not a chance he will match his career high from 10 years ago. Dude is 33 years old....

But that is fine, we don't need him to put up 60 points to be a success.

We are always the ones with the gloves in our faces and we are never the one putting the glove in someone's face.

Can they award the Lady Byng to a team instead of an individual?

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Yeah a healthy Timo is an absolute animal. He will be a beast and a treat to watch next season.

He was awesome the last few months of the season. Our best player.

We need some dicks.

Where's Claude and Holik when we need them?

Hickory dickery doc...

Oh.

Mary Mary quite contrary.....

 

[HersheyBob27]

Here’s the Devil’s forwards hits month by month, you can see Timo’s drop in November and then they’re back up in February.

You said 2-3 weeks. 3 weeks isn’t just March.

The last game was April 15, which means “3 weeks” is March 25th-April 15th.

Meier’s bounce back started before March 25th. You’re exaggerating here.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting

I don't even care about point totals for Palat, even if it's in the top 6. I want him to win board battles, keep plays alive in the offensive zone, and play sound D.

top 6?

you are number 6

Let's see how they are under different leadership. Another year older too.

They are replaying the 2024 WJC gold medal game on NHL Network. It's making me not want to trade Casey for McGroarty. Casey is impressive. Very impressive

Yea, Mcgroarty is probably my favorite forward prospect but I wouldn't trade Casey for him

 

[njdevils1982]

ive posted a different version of this before....but ya, 2:40 is mick jones soloing the theme.... f***ing right amazing

 

[RSeen]

Hard to predict who will be available during the season/trade deadline but an interesting top 6 wing option would be Vatrano from the Ducks.

Could be a good fit next to Hughes and Bratt, and allow Palat to be on the 3rd line (Tatar scratched).

 

[JimEIV]

You want to hear something kind of crazy...the last time we had a player with 100 PIMs was 2015-16. It was Jordan Tootoo with 102...8 seasons ago.

 

[MasterofGrond]

you know when guys rack up hit totals? When their lines don’t have the f***ing puck.

Wonder if Brady’s hit totals have anything to do with his notoriously lackadaisical defensive play?

that reminds me... i need to text dano (again) and remind him that lackadaisical only has one S in the word

and speaking of defensive play... are we getting skinner yet?!

 

[Nubmer6]

Did you actually use "Skinner" and "defensive play" in the same sentence???

 

[OmNomNom]

i predict pally bouncing back in keefe's new system

 

[Xirik]

Save Nemec - trade Hischier

Still not sure why we signed long term and gave captaincy to a mediocre 3C

Though I would trade Nemec for Ben Lovejoy

oh god! the Nico 3C'ers! they're multiplying!

Working that Ottawa connection to his son Jake to get Brady to demand a trade to NJ.

People that say he didn’t have a good series against the rangers and only state the lack of points…I honestly don’t think they watched the games.

I did. Many posters and myself were frustrated with his lack of production from what I remember. It's good to see the advanced stats were in his favor but having 0 points in 7 games is flat out not good. It's encouraging that advanced stats were on his side though.

He had 4 points in 5 games vs the Hurricanes. His advanced stats might not have been as good as the Rangers series but production is production.
