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

[Goptor]

Can we at least try 11-7 after the break? That fourth line is cheeks.

The 4th line sucks because we already are dressing 11-7 since MacDermid is a defenseman

Lineup should look more like a soccer line.

11-6-1. 11 forwards, 6 defenseman, and 1 enforcer.

There are 187 skaters in the @evolving-hockey.com database that have played for the New Jersey Devils and have accumulated more than 500 minutes in the NHL since 2007. Of those 187 skaters, Kurtis MacDermid ranks 187th in terms of value per minute with a GAR/60 of -0.698.

Being at the bottom of this list is pathetic and shows little difference from last year.

Can they just trade for Labanc now instead of at the trade deadline? Columbus should be grateful for Severson.

What about Travis Green? Have you see Ottawa?

So I saw someone post a tweet here about team goals saved above expected. I noticed that San Jose was ahead of NJ in that stat. Do you think that it's worth exploring a trade of the NJ goalies and some picks and prospects for the San Jose goalies? If anyone would know it's you.

Yuck, was hoping to be moved on from these. Stadium Series jerseys should be our 3rds going forward.

I don't even hate Ottawa as a team, seems like Ullmark is tanking them a bit like Markstrom was tanking us early on. That's the tough part of getting an older guy on a new team that plays super uptempo compared to their last stops granted Calgary was a tire fire last year but they were always a decent defensive team when they had Markstrom for a while I think
