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

[Call Me Al]

2 more seasons after this one then quinn is gonna kick him out

 

[Cheddabombs]

Completely forgot tomorrow is the battle of the Hugheses. Not enough to keep me up at that hour though.

Unless...

 

[MasterofGrond]

since the team obviously is missing a top-9 forward or two, anyone have a wish list? realistic targets, pie in the sky targets, “would not scream cry if we traded nemec/casey for him” type of targets, etc?

Peterka

*fart noises*

But seriously, I mean...Is this the first time Dowling has been up with the team?

I don't recall ANYTHING that Dowling has done here.

I do recall Willman scoring a couple of goals and bringing energy when he was here.

Strange how he gets the nod and Willman doesn't.

Buffalo is far more likely to move Cozens or Quinn, both of whom have fallen off a cliff. Jack Quinn does not look like an NHL player this year and Cozens only has 3 assists in 10 games.

Peterka is the better player but I think he only gets moved if Adams gets replaced mid-season and they decide to tear it down to the studs.

 

[OldCraig71]

So good he stole Nemec's roster spot

He isn't flashy but he is solid, an old school defenseman. That's great to hear, he is a good guy from all reports about him and has probably earned himself a nice contract when he hits free agency.

You can't start over again in Buffalo. How do you sell that to both of the season ticket holders?

beating a dead horse lol but I really hope they go 11-7.

The fourth line with Nico/Hughes/Haula centering it at times could actually be pretty formidable and you know Hughes would be up for even more extra ice time against Vancouver

I shouldn't be mean. Those fans have suffered and stay loyal. They deserve respect. But the joke wrote itself.

 

[theoptimist]

Guess what? We need a center

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah tons of old ones, it was just funny to hear it about Zacha of all players we had that were dicey.

I also notice a lot of really old ones. Obviously I always see a Stevens, but he was on all 3 cup teams and captain and played more with the Devils than the other two teams he played for before that.

But I still see a surprising amount of Claude Lemieux jerseys. They're almost always Reebok or Adidas jerseys and not CCM/Starter/etc from way back then, but they're still fairly popular.

We can't go 11-7 the rest of the year. Better to see if we have anyone internally that can at least hold the fort in that spot or we gotta go out and pick someone up

Absolutely been rock solid. Him and Siegs have been an excellent shut down pair all season.

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Time to dust off the 37 jersey and put a dowling nameplate..... Sigh

Reminds me of sometime last season some clown had made some noise about my 10 year old wearing a Zacha jersey, and that he wasn't still on the team. Really weird stuff. Like comon guy...

I need names, seats, section.
