Devils will win the President's Trophy

[Moist ReadOnly]

Only 81 points last year but 112 the year prior with a worse roster

Jacob Markstrom, Brett Pesce, Brendan Dillon, and Paul Cotter added

Simon Nemec, Luke Hughes, Dawson Mercer all under 22 and likely building on prior seasons

Devils stay healthy and theyll be competing with the league's best for the regular season award

Id be shocked if they make the playoffs tbh

the cup belongs to edmonton either way

 

[GreeningOil]

that’s a huge stretch, but anything is possible. I think the Devils are a 97-105 point team

It’s actually currently held by these guys, until the safe return to the trustees that oversee the cup




Devils should be a first/second round exit team

Thats the past my good friend, I am living in the future

I think we are going to find that Markstrom is cooked.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Your jinx attempt won’t work here.

 

[Phrasing]

Depends on a healthy or available Hughes.

If he plays 75-80 hes scoring 120

Markstrom is probably the question mark - does he have a few more good seasons or was his decline not entirely because the Flames also declined.

They’ve got a great roster. Honestly, they do. I hate the Devils since birth. They definitely should be a playoff team and I wouldn’t be surprised if they did with the President’s Trophy. I’m not saying I’d have predicted that for them this year, but it’s been an inevitable perspective as a Rangers fan - the Devils are going to have some really good years over the next 10-15 years. Acting as if that’s not true is just being a biased fan, IMO. The Devils are well positioned with a deep and versatile roster. All they need is health and they’re definitely one of the best rosters on paper in the league today.

I could see them bouncing back to the playoffs but not sure I see them leading the whole league. It’s not totally crazy to suggest though it’s certainly possible. If markstrom has an unbelievable bounce back year it could happen.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Let them play some games before we start with this shit

Bit early to be this hammered innit?

Presidents trophy ...Devils?
Don't see it.

Markstrom doesn’t even need to be vezina tier. Devils looked different when Allen joined. They just need good goaltending.

The defense was also upgraded over the summer so it shouldn’t be as easy to get shots off this season.

Also screw the Presidents Trophy. When was the last the the Presidents Trophy winner won the cup?

Did David Puddy scare your mom?

And then you popped out cursing the New Jersey Devils?

He played 62 games last year and wasn’t close to that pace. Playing healthy is a big deal.

 

[albator71]

Thanks for the laughs

 

[Tuggy]

Nah.

Not in new jersey...

It's 6 PM on the first football Sunday of the year. I'd be appalled if he wasn't.

 

[Phrasing]

It must be really hard for you to move your neck if you didn't notice the stats the year before the one you looked at.

Must be hard for you to enter into a conversation without derogation or condescension. What exactly did I say about last year that was wrong?

Fair enough.

Whenever a team gets a new coach, especially an underachieving team, that team has a good year. I think the devils drink from the new coach syndrome and have a great year
