Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - season begins!

[HersheyBob27]

If you average the money by minutes played over the course of the season MacDermid makes like Bratt money (seriously) which is nuts.

You are thinking about it all wrong. We pay him more likely by the punch thrown. Maybe like 5k per punch

No youre right

Whats serious is getting Meier off of Jack's line and onto Nico's, Palat onto Jack's, and getting Pesce and Luke back

Devils got two wins versus Buffalo - they better clean up before we play real teams, and starting with the line changes we can make is the move

Keefe probably gives it until their first or second loss; since thats clearly what Fitz and co. were going for (the Tatar-Hischier-Mercer line).

Unless youre spreading out Jack Jesper and Timo across the third line, it wont work

The Devils just had what will be quite possibly their most dominant win of the entire season. I don't think there's any call to change the lines unless for some reason a person hitched their wagon to that concept the first week of preseason and now needs for it to happen to satisfy their ego.

Bratt does make a lot more if you average it by punches thrown. That is a good point.

HATE when my first line generates 20 shots on goal in a single game

The lines will change because Palat will be back.

With Pesce still only 7.
Hamilton
Dillon
Siegenthaler
Casey
Nemec
Kovacevic
Pesce

Who did I miss?
Are you counting Luke? Not until November at least.

PuckPedia updated the season opening IR cap hit for Hatakka which is $161,458 (I believe this is calculated based on is NHL/AHL split last season).

It appears that we will submit a 13/8/2 man roster with Luke on it. That leaves us $639,645 under the cap and allows the team to start banking cap space. Putting Luke on IR to open the season doesn't really accomplish much as we don't have the cap space currently to fit another player without leveraging LTIR.

They’ll change to what they were in game 1.

He's right up there as one of the best for sure but only if other guys oblige him regarding "the code" which is complete neanderthal Pejorative Slured, outdated bullshit. MacDermid will do nothing to deter useless dirtbags who deliberately target players. It's cheap shot city out there but I'm sure he'll have a meaningless scrap after one of our guys is concussed.

Siegenthaler got his head elbowed into the fifth row by Rempe while MacDermid was on the ice. The refs corralled him while Rempe ran like a bitch. These are talentless, useless players who contribute absolutely nothing to the game while dumb f***s cheer this shit on. I'm old as hell and have seen it all in this league, this stuff kind of meant something, but those days are long gone and the sooner these shitheads as well the ones that run the DOPS are gone the better.

He'll get his 3-5 minutes of useless ice time every now and then, deter no one from running our guys, contribute absolutely nothing except being a cheerleader on the bench while occupying a roster spot but hey Jack gets to be double shifted.

eh i take a different approach with the guy when he came in last year he was the only player that seemed to care out there i'm totally fine trading for him and giving him the contract. i'm not saying hes going to be a prevent measure against goons against our guys but i think you see if the team slips loses focus he would be inserted to mix it up (not just fighting) bottom line he isn't going to be the reason we lose any games
