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

[MadDevil]

f*** Lou.

Have we had a Lou was great/Lou sucked debate lately?

That's next week. The dead horse conversation wheel turns more slowly in August.

Stay away, Tom.

Yeah - Just no. For every reason you can imagine.

Even if you want to remove the stink of Boston and the low-quality person he is.

I remember one of the games the year before last against Calgary where he was so useless he couldn't make it past 2 shifts playing AGAINST us. What are the chances he could play WITH us?

Nope

Former Leaf publicly calls out Lou Lamoriello's pointless, arbitrary rules

Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward, Brooks Laich, took to Twitter yesterday to express his disdain for former Maple Leaf and current New York Islanders general manager, Lou Lamoriello. Lamoriello is an old-school general manager, he ruffles a lot of feathers, and has specific team-related rules...

Lucic

he’s ineligible for NHL

Would it actually surprise you if he were reinstated tomorrow though? You see what kinds of people are allowed to work in the league.

Especially with the charges being dropped.

Dellow has a good rep around the league, I think, and I liked what I heard when he spoke so probably a loss for the Devils. When you hire good people you should expect them to move up though, so hopefully the Devils will find another up and comer.

How bad has Cal Clutterbuck's game gotten? Saw Nichols posted somewhere that a PTO would be an interesting thing. He played all 82 last year and was 5th in hits. Good PKer and energy guy. Imagine Kotter/Lazar/Cal as a 4th line. He's Bastian but better (in some regards) After pay Mercer, who will take up the balance most likely what could they pay him (coming off $1.75)?

I’m not sure he’s better than Bastian at this point in his career.

He’s coming up on 37 and would probably be in the top-15 oldest players in the league this year if he does play. Thanks to cap friendly being gone I can’t tell you exactly where he would rank anymore.

Being in the top 10-15 oldest players in the league isn’t bad when you’re Ovechkin, Malkin, Crosby.

More pts, gms played, gamer, snarl top 5 in hits. Yeah hes not Ovi but I'd like Nate to be more like him, and I think Bast is not what he once was

his rules are and were a total joke. i'm honestly surprised guys even go along with it i guess what choice do they have? but damn be more vocal about it "off the record" guy has been irrelevant for longer then he was.

What is the basis for him being better than Bastian? He's approaching late 30s - I highly doubt he is better than Nate.

He's finished. The man has given his body to hockey and it's extremely impressive that a player who plays his kind of game managed to play every single game last year but he has nothing left to give.

Good, hoarding prospects that never see them in the NHL is what bad teams do. Luke and Nemec graduated last year, I'd rather have them in NJ than sitting in the AHL hoping that they might contribute some day.

I mean, sure, and with the obvious caveat that top 100 prospect lists are rife with sorting backwards from draft position where players who were taken top 20 stay on those lists for far too long, but it'd be nice if they had more prospects. The Devils have definitely hit on a lot of their top picks, while missing on Holtz and Stillman. It'd be nice if the guys taken in the 2nd round or later were also doing well.

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.
