GDT: Your New Jersey Devils (48-21-8, 104 Points, 2nd in Metro) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (38-29-10, 86 Points, 5th in Metro, 2nd Wildcard), 7 PM, MSGSN

[Guadana]

He was an all rounder instead of a prospect with one shiny talent and probably the fact that the Quebec league is seen as a lesser league among the three CHL leagues.

He was one of the best puck puckhandlers on the draft. May be the best one. Beside vision, iq, two way game etc.

Ad free is basically the only perk.

Well that's good because these ads suck ass

 

[HoliksGhost]

I have to say I’m very impressed with how quickly Bahl is developing… I had my doubts

 

[Bcap88]

Mercer reminds me of a young Johnny Toews

 

[Saugus]

How TF did Mercer fall to 18th overall. He's already a 25+ goal ~55 point 2-way winger in his age 21 season. Kid is going to be a monster for a long time

His motor and hands aren't the only reasons he gets Parise comparisons. He dropped like crazy also, and it looks ridiculous in hindsight to see some of the guys that were taken ahead of him.

 

[Alex NJD]

It was really strange. He was my number two priority for 7th pick after Quinn. I dreamed about draft him by our 9-11 pick before Arizona won play in.


It was draft day miracle in october when everybody decide to pick other guys.

I still remember the GDT for the draft. A bunch of us were rooting for every team in front to take other guys and they did. It really felt surreal when he was there at 18 and everyone almost knew he was a Devil

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Mercer might blow past Raymond at this rate to be the 2nd best forward behind Stutzle from that draft

kinda insane

 

[Patrik26]

Amazing how heavily the Devils are featured in the Stanley Cup promo. The times have changed.

 

[jkrdevil]

The coked up betting guy again!?

 

[HoliksGhost]

Damn this guy is annoying

 

[sddev]

That Alex betting douche has to be on cocaine.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Kevin Bahl has been fantastic again. I’m excited about this guy.

There was some scouts questioning his skating . Not that they were right . Some said that his skating was slightly below average and didn’t have a good looking stride .
That and his numbers (although “good”) we not seen as elite . He is paying amazing and will be a huge player for the Devils for years.He as drafted for his no quit motor plus skill. Perfect type of player that every team needs to win .

When it's all said and done, I think Raymond will be more successful, I really like him and he's probably the better offensive guy, but there's a HUGE shot for Dawson to be the 3rd best.

Juiced on Redbull

 

[JK3]

Get this asshole off my Devils broadcast.

 

[Saugus]

This dude is on absolutely all of the drugs, and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Good Lord, he's an even more annoying Jean Ralphio.

 

[Bcap88]

Bahl could ease the transition of Luke into the lineup and could really take over graves minute

 

[Xirik]

That was an easy mute.

I saw "Alex" and "Douche" and was about to start throwing hands (via keyboard) before reading the rest

 

[Richer's Ghost]

You shouldn't have to deal with ads

And it used to get youba banner but those aren’t a thing anymore I guess

 

[Devs3cups]

Kevin Bahl has been fantastic again. I’m excited about this guy.

Man, with Luke and Nemec coming up, you're looking at an extremely solid 3rd pairing guy potentially. That'd be awesome.

 

[The Wumpus]

This guys is even annoying on mute

 

[Devilsgrl35]

If Bahl turns into a consistent top 4 dman, that would be massive going forward with our cap getting tighter.
