Do you really want these young kids playing in the worst environment in the AHL? Hartford was an abomination last year, and I'm still wary about them this season.

Granted..Hartford needs some talent but when you're that close to playing an NHL game I don't see how it can hurt assuming they'd be called up at some point in the season.

Who else can be called up in case of injury and step right in at this point?

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Knowing AV Puempel will be on the opening night roster. Not that i hate the kid or anything, but definitely would have some guys over him penciled in there.

Looking for Shattenkirk too much, it's a bit predictable

I imagine they're looking at Catenacci, Schneider, Carey, and Nieves at this point.

Everyone's English is waaay better than any Swede's

Ever been to Iceland?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

You joke about that, but I wanted the team to do that, especially considering we won't be a Cup Contender. I'd rather that than a first or second round elimination.

I like how you know this before the seasons even started.

Those new hats look poopy

Yeah but they all suck lol

Daneyko pumping Zacha's tires again. Deja vu to last preseason.

Zacha will be a top 9 player, but he was a bad pick. McLeod the year after was another bad pick, I thought Hischier the year after was another bad pick.

I think the Devils draft really well, just not in the first round. I think they've set their rebuild back a few years due to an inability to make first round picks. They passed up players like Provorov, Werenski, Rantanen, Barzal, Chabot to draft Zacha and passed up players like Chychrun, McCoy, Steel to draft McLeod. Too early to tell who will be the big missed pick for the 2017 draft, but I don't anticipate Hischier being the best player from that draft.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Marc Staal's face annoys me

 

[Mac n Gs]

Yeah but they all suck lol

I would've said those guys too. I guess it just boils down to letting the kids get as much playing time as possible this season to help their development, while we see how our young guns that are in the NHL progress this year.

 

[NYR]

Looking for Shattenkirk too much, it's a bit predictable

And opposing teams think the exact same way

 

[hi]

It amazes me these players are arguing. Are they completely unaware of this new rule?

It's been in the rule book since 2007. Can't find any earlier versions of the rule book.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Yeah but they all suck lol

No, they haven't been great in preseason.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Anyone catch that touch pass by Skjei?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I like how you know this before the seasons even started.

Until this team adds a difference maker forward, we won't be more than capable of being a good team that makes an underdog run deep in the playoffs every so often. The teams that win the Cup are the dynasties. Three teams have dominated the NHL the last 10 years. It takes difference makers to become a Cup Contender, those guys are added through the draft usually, most of the time at the beginning of it. But thats not a discussion for this thread.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

What a pass.

 

[member 116805]

And then we pounce!

?

Christ...Staal and gilmour...jesus. I fully expect them on the ice in the last few mins protecting a lead...

 

[Valhalla]

Ever been to Iceland?

No.

I consider them as my brothers though

 

[BBKers]

Desjardin is toast. He likely therefore will get signed

Alright, back from pizza break. I wish we had pizza hut by the way!
I hope for OT hockey it`s exciting!

Yeah tank with a team that seems to contend every year. So they can maybe possibly get a 20% chance to get the top pick. A very smart strategy that would get any GM rightly fired for really being patently stupid.
