New Jersey Devils General Discussion (Team/Player/Trade Rumors/Speculation/News)

[Classic Devil]

How effed up would it be if the Rangers grabbed Janssen.

They always do suck-ass stuff like that!

They sent Mashinter down, so I don't think they're looking for a goon.

good I hope they do and play him every night.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

I'm still kinda confused no one else was sent down. We only need to send one other person down besides Urbom right?

Urbom won't get sent down because he has to go on waivers before that can happen. Him being traded or making the team is the only option before the 3pm deadline tomorrow.

 

[Devils Unseen Hand]

Why? I don't see it. For one thing, teams are all up against the contract limit right now, who has space? Plus unless they're being acquired for the NHL they'll just end up waived.

All depends on who's waived, who's traded & who is sent down.

Are you insinuating that no one would want them in the NHL? Surely some team would want our scraps, that are surely better than their own scraps.

 

[Devils Trap]

Gionta is waiver exempt ???]

edit: No he isnt, soo he would of been on waivers today

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah we need to shed one forward and one D assuming a 14-7-2 roster...we're anticipating move(s) and Lou's gonna troll us all by dumping two guys on IR.

Who has the space you say? Off the top of my head...





All have more then enough space for the Devils to make some sort of deal.

EDIT: Looking at capgeek the Sabres have around 6 mil in cap space and 22 players. A deal could be possible with them as the teams above (while with way more space) have more players on the books. Although with the Avs being a team outside our conference, needing defense (bad) and with 23 players on the books they should be the favorites when it comes to a potential trade.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

Tedenby and one of Jagr/Elias/Carter to IR to start the year and done. Gives Lou time to trade someone in the next week.

 

[Banana Sandwiches]

Janssen on waivers! PARTY TIME! NO GOONS!

I like the last season (and pretty much the only one) when the Devils had no goons (2010-2011). That was such a wonderful year!

 

[Devils Trap]

If Larsson is assigned to Albany dont freak out. It may be just so Lou has time to work with

Larsson will be on this team, we just may need to get under the 23 player limit and he is the only Waiver exempt player we have

What on earth are you talking about? They had that clown PL3 who needlessly got himself ejected in the second game of the season leaving us even shorter on the roster. That really turned out well.

Worst coach in history, cap issues, Kovy issues - but yeah we had a crap first half because we didn't have a goon.

How could they even assign Larsson to Albany before the roster deadline? They didn't do it today. If they do it tomorrow he won't clear in time. This has to be either trade(s) or IR moves.

Larsson doesn't have to be waived. Him sent down and Tedenby to IR makes everything work for the deadline.

Yeah just read TG's post, he's the only one left that could be sent down by tomorrow...but then they'd still have to do something else to get Larsson back by Thursday. Which I guess would be Butlering Urbom and trying to make that switcheroo.

 

[Moe Syzlak]

So Janssen is the only Devil on waivers. Two more guys have to be moved.

So once again, what we are all used to as Devils fans.... Lou has something up his sleeve. We have to... you got that right.... WAIT.

Pretty sure it's just a couple of guys (Jagr, Elias or Tedenby) starting the year on IR. That will buy them some time.

 

[SKNJD9]

Highly doubt a trade is coming.

Larsson will be " sent down " tomorrow, once the teams have their rosters set, Urbom and Gionta/Teddy/Josefson will be put on waivers before thursdays game and Adam will be back up.

Chere with some breaking news

You missed my point. Colorado has 50 players on their reserve list, Calgary has 47. Neither of them can take a contract back, so it'd have to be a player for player trade, like the Barch deal was.

Plus, they'd have to think that Urbom is worth playing over one of their defensemen, or Tedenby over one of their forwards. I'm not convinced that anybody in the NHL is going to make that assessment without first having had a chance to evaluate them in training camp (which is why I think we could waive them and they'd get through, although that's a moot point now).

 

[Emperoreddy]

With Cam and Kinky on waivers and Barch traded we still need to cut two more players but like it's been said the deadline to get someone through waivers has passed.

If Lou isn't waiving anyone else then two things could be happening. Either a trade or guys are going on the IR.

I'd have to think trade because I dont think we have two guys to put on the IR at this point.

 

[Saugus]

If Jagr and Elias are a no go for Thursday then my expectations are going to pretty low. Unless Fleury goes back into sieve mode, its going to be difficult to win that game.

Which is quite plausible. The Devils have always seemed to have his number.

wouldnt take Andy Greene for free cracked me up

the Rangers #4 DMan got cut from the Devils, remember that.

It's the same 6 defencemen who shut down their team in 2012. You'd think they'd have some more respect.

 

[MJB Devils23*]

I think Andy Greene is just as good as Girardi.

Andy Greene may well be the most underrated defenseman in hockey.

Where do you rank him CD?

 

[SKNJD9]

Where do you rank him CD?

Higher then Dekeyser who got a olympic camp invite that's for sure

 

[TaiMaiShu]

Andy Greene or Andrew Mcdonald? He's another really underrated guy and both emerged as important big minute defensemen for their teams over the last few years.
