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

[Whaddagoal]

Now I am thinking of the good old days.

This board flipping it's collective shit when Urbom got claimed off waivers. Turned into a absolute nothing burger of a player.

Jim and a few people pissed we let that Russian D prospect go to the Rangers. Also amounted to absolutely nothing.

Yes, I remember people getting pissed about that initially ( the Russian D one). Still ammounted to nothing.

I will never forget how I tried to will Kalinin out of the garbage pan. I worked at it for half a season. And then, by the next season he was basically out of the team ...

Oh did he have no puck skills/hands.....

Jesper Boqvist is like a Ferrari when it comes to guys like Kalinin.

Beau Bennet, Kalinin, some other dudes, we had quite the shit at some point. Loktionov was up there too.

Bennet was one of the guys I was thinking of.

We had a lot of guys like Rooney it seemed for awhile.

We also had some interesting JAG offensive D guys. I remember we hyped up this one guy who made the team from camp, damn I can't rememeber his name but he was all offense on D.

Can't even remember now. Obviously gelinas but this was guys after him, there was a series of random JAG dmen with some offense. Oh there was auvitu but another one. Shit, now I have to look it up.

Edit: some guys like Rooney, Nick Lappin and Blake pietilla. Somehow out of that came blake Coleman and we forgot about pretty much all the other dudes him and Rooney at least seemed to be workable.

Still can't find that D I'm trying to recall.

Hmm... Connor Carrick? Kurtis Foster? Can't remember others, and what years they were. It all kinda blends together for me.

Ah Kurtis Foster...from the era of the PP specialist on defense that just bombed away from the point.
