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

[devilsfan950003]

Tatar-Dowling-Foote will look like the perfection line compared to MacDermid's minutes.

What about Bowers as their center? He plays on Utica's PK and brings speed. Solid on face-offs and strong on the forecheck. Won't bring much offense, but if that 4th line can get more time on the ice, it will give their top 9 some rest.

Frederic would be ideal.

Frederic would be ideal.

Boston will price gouge until ten minutes before the TDL. It’s more likely a borderline guy from one of the teams struggling for multiple seasons is available.

You're all gonna be disappointed when it's just Fitz appearing on a podcast in Boston tomorrow

I’ll take anyone that can take a regular shift over MacDermid.

Is the team practicing tomorrow? Would be nice to see pairings and lines.

I think it’s safe to assume there will be a practice tomorrow and Wednesday after a rare two days off in a row.

I thought maybe they’d practice today after having yesterday off, then have off again tomorrow before coming back for another practice on Wednesday the day before the game.

I think a lot of teams do it that way and I think even we might have last year. Where they don’t want to give two days off in a row for conditioning reasons.

Could Kapanen be a cheap fix?

Kasperi Kapanen, waived by the St. Louis Blues, could certainly address New Jersey Devils depth needs.

Boston fire sale should be happening soon

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

Boston fire sale should be happening soon

Yeah after they signed Lindholm and Zadorov ?

 

[BostonDevil]

I'd be shocked. More likely they try to add.

Besides, there really isn't anyone they can move to get a decent return

I mean it's probably a HC move but they're absurdly done. that core can't get it done anymore. It's a legit reality check for them

Yeah after they signed Lindholm and Zadorov ?

I mean those were big blunders in the first place, they were racking up the bill under the Bergeron and Marchand era similar to what we did under Lou while we were competing but now it's time to reap the rewards of a rebuild.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

Cool to see Marty on the cover of Beckett Hockey. They had an interview in there with him and he talked about his responsibilities with the Devils in his current role. Said him and Fitzgerald sit and talk trades all the time. He also said he has input on all the goaltending stuff as we already knew.

They have nothing of value that they can move. Nobody is going to PLD the two guys they signed over the summer. They JUST signed the goalie. Pasta and McAvoy have NMCs even if anyone could afford them.

Who's lining up to offer a 1st for Coyle and his $5.25M if you aren't on his 8 team list? What does Zacha get you at $4.25 for the next 3 years with his 10 team list?

The reason why they suck...is because they suck. Who wants to buy into that?

They have zero prospects.

Pending free agent Frederic gets you a 3rd. Geekie for a 5th. There's your rebuild.

Why would you even want picks if your keeping the GM who whiffed on Barzal 3 times in a row

I'm telling you, they are more likely to add so the owner can get some playoff gate.

Nobody is going to take him until the deadline because they can't fit his contract.

I can see the Rangers trading for Marchand. Its a very NYR move.
