Maybe not, but I can appreciate a team that gives it their all even if the results don't turn out the way we want.

Stranger things have happened.....like Kovy giving up 77 million dollars to just up and quit.
I mean if THAT happened, whose to say that matteau wouldn't save us?
Hold your heads high fellow devils fans, hold it high. Gomez, Holik, Gionta, Rafalski, Parise, Clarkson, Kovalchuk, do you know what I see in these names?
I see strength. Not strength in the players, but strength in the team that has and will thrive DISPITE them. What has this team proved besides that time and time again, we have over come? We WILL over come. Yes, our backs may be broken for a short while, but that which breaks only heals stronger. I trust in the devils, with Lou or without, to continue providing the level of excellence that is expected of this organization.
So weep now if you must my fellow fan. Because like a Phoenix, we will rise from the ashes, and we will hoist the grail once again.
We will hoist the cup once more, I promise you.
Lets go Devils!

No need to act like the franchise is in jeopardy, you guys will be more than OK. You guys have a solid team and I look forward to playing this club next season.

Will never stop cheering for the Devils but we are going to suck for awhile.
Best case senerio that I can see is squeaking into the last playoff seed and getting crushed in the first round.
A team cannot lose Parise , Kovalchuk, Clarkson ( approx 100 goals,in total) and replace them with Ryder and Clowe ( 50 goals at the very most)
Sure JJ loki and teddy could surprise , but in all honesty, can they pick up 50+ goals in slack.... Nope.
Numerous players are going to have to put up career best numbers and Schneider is going to have to have a Vezina calibre season for us to make the playoffs.
What hurts the most is losing two elite players for nothing in return.it set us years back.
What's even more depressing is that we have no offensive prospects besides Boucher , and traded a top 9 pick this year and no pick next year so...... No help in sight for forwards coming up within the system.
I just hope we don't panic and do something stupid like trade for someone like Heatley or Havlat or Gionta. We cannot afford to give any assets away right now.
Only hope is bandaid UFA's until we gather enough assets to be competitive again.

To me the most galling aspect is all the trouble we went through to get him and then retain him, and he just up and quits. Ridiculous.

This is totally unsubstantiated, but I can see this team becoming a tighter-knit unit due to this adversity. This team can make it to the second round of the playoffs.

It would make an awesome story if the Devils went to the playoffs and did some damage. Let the storm loose! 
I for one still expect the Dev's to be a playoff team. Don't see this as a franchise killer at all.
