The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

I would love to see a revamp to a defensive style game. Most of the idiots on the team are low IQ so they probably dont get it.

Go get Power a partner and play defensive hockey. I would rather watch them grind out 2-1 wins than 6-4 losses.

The Neutral Zone Trap & the New Jersey Devils

In response to a user question, I explain what the neutral zone trap is, what's required to make it work, and why the New Jersey Devils were so effective with the trap in the mid-1990s.

Power's partner isn't the only obstacle to revamping this team to a defensive style. First, there is Power himself. Second, you'd need to swap out at least half the current forwards for much better 2-way players. Third, the goaltending just ain't there.

You could say that about every system you try to put in there. Thats why this team is a failure for 15 years.

I think they need to take a pretty hard look at the $20M they're paying Power/Cozens/Sameulsson to underwhelming results. That's 25% of their cap seriously under performing in highly leveraged roles.

If your 3/4D and 4F are holding you back at that cap hit you can't over come it. I don't think it's impossible they turn it around, but I've my concerns.
