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

[Triumph]

I am not sure why everyone is acting like Foote is done here, or even that he played that bad on Wednesday. Who else comes up if a scoreline winger gets hurt? I agree he's done here long-term but that's been true for a while. I mean I guess they could move Tatar back up and then go with an all Utica 4th line with Halonen, that also makes some sense.

Bowers has played well enough to claim that 4th line spot for now and Meier's no longer serving the suspension.

I don’t think Foote is done but I think he won’t get the next chance at a scoring call up or any call up.

I think they try to roll the dice on Halonen, Hardman, or Beckman before going back to Foote.

Basically I think they all get a small chance to impress and they all likely struggle to do so but you just try new guys and hope.

I’d be interested in seeing Parent get a look but with his size I think the team will look elsewhere unless he puts up an absurd amount of points in Utica.

Really bizarre for an offense ranked towards the top of the league to have four shutouts a quarter of the way through the season.

What’s the status of Bastian and Lazar?
