we got 3
JJ also winning over 50% on face offs and cant remember the last time he played 10 games in a row LOL (from fire and ice)
Confirmed with Link: Josefson re-signed (2 years, $800k AAV)
- Thread starter Devils Trap
- Start date
Give it more time, he still needs to show that he can put up some points before we can deem him as anything more than a bottom six center.
while we are tossing around names, if jake could give us a career of sergei brylin type production i'd be perfectly okay with that.
And for the little amount of time he has had on the pk over this year and last, he has a couple shorties. Which of coarse is the entirety of his goal scoring over that time.

defensively responsible, timely goals and works the corners and boards....sign me up !
Cam's also a very good skater, Madden was too.
But he's no worse then top 3 on the current squad. Cam, Brunner and JJ.
Zajac never seems to get enough credit for his skating. I think he's easily the strongest guy on his skates after Jagr. Everything about his skating is so deceptive, and if I had to guess why I'd say it's because there's little to no flash in his game.

I wish he would use it more to advantage because he has always been one of the harder guys on this team to take down or knock off the puck
Yeah's, he a total monster on the boards, likely why the Snooze line worked so well. He might not have the hands to hold on to the puck skating through traffic in open ice, but lord knows no one's knocking him down.

I'd like to see Deboer take Elias out of the rotation and go with three pairs. The Devils need Patrik's offense more than his defense, and the PK is hard work. Let him save up strength.
It was great to see JJ's quote about the PK squad on TG's blog today. It seems like he's taking some ownership of / feeling like an integral part of the PK. I think the PK is JJ's biggest immediate opportunity to shine, and I hope he runs with it.

Josefson was never advertised as a big offensive guy anyways. With that said he has been getting chances lately that sooner or later he'll begin to get some. Regardless of a lack of offense he still finds a way to be effective which is good. He isn't a 'black hole' forward.
Only 7 minutes of es time last night, and Too Too was his winger for most of that. I know he's not an offensive dynamo, but it is not easy to put up points in those conditions.

Which is why I'd like to see JJ take Elias' spot on the PK. Let's let him focus on what he's doing well and build confidence / offense from that. I think he could pot 3-5 shorties a year playing alongside Henrique.

Rebuild Over.
While he may not be scoring he's creating chances. He's easily our best skater and is very quick on the puck and makes really nice quick turns with it down low
Is JJ playing well? I think he is, but do we all agree on that? Cause for some reason he got the least amount of ES minutes amongst fwds last night? Only one fwd played less overall.
I think he should be playing more. But I wonder if people agree with Deboer's use of him thus far?
