I don't know him as a guy, but I thought he sucked as an NHL hockey player. He was already on like 4 teams before he even turned 25.

I don't understand why Ray Shero gave him a two year deal.

He's why I'm always worried about trading defensemen at the deadline. And there's been other examples, but he's the most recent. Where we trade a defenseman on an expiring deal and get another back that has term left. He was part of the return for Ben Lovejoy.

There was Dalton Prout a couple years before him, who wasn't re-signed but had a year left in term beyond that year. We were able to flip him for Eddie Lack that year lol.

I was worried Subban would bring back one of these mediocre, barely NHL capable guys.
Has there ever been a Devil you actually liked? I mean other than the super stars?

Vukojevic actually looks really good in this game. Might earn himself another game or two but it’s unlikely he earns the roster spot which seems to be Bahl’s to lose. I’m an Okhotiuk fan but I don’t think he’s played well enough.

Bratt seemed to bear down in that second, which is good.
Bahl has looked solid. Bahl / Marino sounds like a good third pair to me.

It's hard to judge the defense in this game, though. Boston really is not offering much going forward.

I saw everything I want from Marino. Stories about him tells me that people don`t understand whith what we were living year ago.

Hughes is awesome, Elias should start to worry about his records.
I really like how Wood is looking. Yegor is much better in battles. Hope Bahl will have a chance over Smith. Haula is great addition, I would say it looks like I even want to resign him. At least we don`t have visible options for third line center role besides Hischier.
Zetterlund is fun and Bastian too. THey are both better for bottom-6 role. The storm is coming not only on Florida, but on Boqvist too.
Johnsson... is Johnsson. Can`t imgaine how good he could be if he hadn't screwed up.

Vuki-Evich is good too btw. Can`t imagine what Fitz think about it. This young players deserve a chance. Bahl, Okhotiuk, Vukoevich. Even Vilen looks like he could be NHLer. Shakir and Hughes more to come.

Why do the bruins have so many former devils scraps? Zacha, Greer, Carrick, Kinkaid.
Also have Hall but he isn’t exactly a scrap

I’m not ready to pencil Hischier in as 3C unless he shows me something this preseason.

Carrick was great in the role he played with the Devils. But I get it, you think the should all be Norris Trophy defenseman.
Yes, he was a great #7 defenseman. Better than Peter Harrold.

Gotta give it to him there.
