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

I know many husbands have thought of it but Noesen went and did it.

With the way Utica is looking forward wise I think it'd be fine to keep Nemec up even if he's not playing for the time-being. It's his fourth head coach if you count Dineen in the past two seasons as 19/20 year old so I think whatever practice time and extra work he gets with the coaches in the NHL could be more beneficial than Utica. Now if they go 15-20 or so games without playing him then I'd have a different tune about it but with the condensed schedule, opportunities to go 11-7, and possible injuries he could get in before it goes that long without a game. They found a way to get Macdermid in which made them effectively go 11-6 so I'm sure they could find a way for Nemec to get in.

I’d start to get concerned about Simon getting Holtz’d if this keeps up much longer. The last thing I wanna do is hurt his development by having him sit for an extended period. He needs ice time and lots of it.

My guess is he gets sent down a game or two after the road trip.

I know I brought up Hall as a former Devil coming back but it looks like he's a bit cooked career wise in Chicago but if/when the Isles are out of the playoffs, I'd be all over Palmieri to come back here and play L1 with Jack/Bratt. Perfect winger for those two as well, Lou's old ass would never do it though.

Nelson would also be a good option for the people who think Jack needs to be at the wing or the Haula thing from 22-23

Hischier so proud of his favorite costume he wore.

tedenby himself could put up points next to nico right now. i'm glad mercer's getting on the sheet but i'm not quite ready to, how you say, give him a peruvian snowblower.

Pretty sure this is a family site, don't think you should be giving or even talking about giving someone one of those.

This is just great to hear. I'm sure there's plenty of rebuilding teams that would love this kind of player.

The “no matter what happens” certainly sounds ominous.

Hope so. Fitz better have learned his lesson from last year and pulls the trigger on the demotion. Kovy 2.0 has earned his spot in the lineup, but Nemec has no business being the 7D. Plenty of warm bodies in Utica that are better suited to that role.

Who is Nico supposed to be? A random hippie from the 1960s?

Pretty sure he typed "costume" on amazon and scrolled with his eyes closed and picked.

Are we sure that's a costume and not just Nico's new look?

Looks like they shaved Palmieri and put it on Nico's head.
