NHL: 30 in 30 NJD

[zharkenby]

From my perspective, the person who wrote these articles has no knowledge of the team. For example, they project lokti at wing, and according to then Boucher Tedenby and Josefson will play on the second line, etc. pretty much a bunch of crap, but still a fun read

NHL.com has Urbom as the #2 prospect but Severson isn't even on the list. Kinkaid is also ahead of Wedgewood. Brutal.

And Boucher As a center... I could've wrote up a better preview than this

Up front, Jagr could slide into David Clarkson's spot on the top line. The Devils need a bounce-back season from Henrique, and having a pair of experienced wings with a track record of scoring goals could help him.

Clarktard was on the top line for a few games only, was he not?

NHL.com writers are incredibly ignorant.

They also projected Merrill in our third pairing, leaving Fayne of all people as the odd man out. Isn't Merrill obligated to play with Michigan until their season is over?

Jon left college when he finished his season there last year. He can play in the AHL or NHL.

Gotcha, I was under the impression that he was going back for his senior year for whatever reason. But regardless, Fayne is the last guy I wanna see sitting out. I'd much rather see Volchenkov or Salvador in the press box (even if it means our captain isn't out there)

Maybe they meant top 6, be where Adam would play and Clarkson was on the second line all year

So wait, let me see if I can put all this nonsense together:

• Loktionov will be a winger, despite having said he'll never do that many times
• Boucher Tedenby and Josefson will play on the second line???
• Urbom as the #2 prospect but Severson isn't even on the list...
• Kinkaid is ahead of Wedgewood
• Boucher is a center?
• "Jagr could slide into David Clarkson's spot on the top line" - Clarkson rarely ever saw top 3 time
• Merrill is a starter on the third pairing when he's not even ready for the NHL yet, and Fayne and Harrold are 4th pairing scratches.

Good job, NHL.com. You've found a way to lower the bar.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Weak job by them.

 

[BrodeursCups]

I'm tweeting Rosen to let him now how craptastic this 30 in 30 Devils edition was. It's hard to find intelligent hockey writers these days...

 

[ScottyK]

The only decent part of the 30 and 30 was EJ's video on it and said we have a good chance at returning to the playoffs...coming from him that was unexpected.

Oh my goodness it just gets worse and worse.

 

[Bleedred]

I missed this thread the other day! I didn't check that article out, but I bet they even threw in a ''Trap'' or ''Defensive system'' note in there too.

You forgot Pietila/Pesonen being our #6/#7 prospect respectably (I do like Pietila though).
