Since Green took over Daws has been great.
Well Lou did that with his 'buddy' Lemaire after forcing him into retirement lol, and he also did that with Larry under more serious circumstances (Cunniff getting sick and bringing him back to be Constantine's assistant).We’ve still got Lindy under contract right? What a hoot that would be.
au contraire mon frère, he has punished the fans severely.Green hasn't punished anyone
The Devils medical staff seems to think if a player can still breathe, they should playing.If the Hughes bros aren't "running the org", somebody above them would shut them down for the rest of the season. It's over so what's the point of them continuing to play like utter trash every night?
His system could be to Daws what Nasreddine's was to Blackwood, where Blackwood was the best goalie in the world for about 30 games after Hynes was fired, so maybe Daws could be the best goalie in the world after Ruff was fired? At least for a little while?NHL Stats

Nothing that we haven’t said here 1,000 times. We could be in better shape, maybe playoffs if Allen came here earlier. He’s a solid vet goalie and a good mentor. They need to manage the puck better, need better breakouts and zone time, need to use our skill and speed, need better gaps. We’re a young team that had injuries blah blah blah, yada yada. Real groundbreaking stuff, unbelievable astute observations that no one ever even thought of. I’m sold, we should hire him tomorrow.What was said in the post? It's locked for me

He’s been gone for a while now and while we all know you loved him as a player and still pine for him you have to let it go. He’s not coming back.Blackwood was the best goalie in the world after Hynes was fired
Kakhonen has not impressed me all that much.He might be trying to do that but I don’t think it’s happening. We’re just getting some saves now during our usual adventures on defense. Allen has been fantastic in his two games despite the mess in front of him and Kakhonen was as well in his first game when he was completely under siege.
growing pains is understandable but he needs to drastically improve on his defensive game. His D zone awareness is alarming for someone with his pedigree. Have to wonder what he's thinking most of the time. If he's not defensively conscious in his rookie season then when will he be? Countless times this year he's shown no interest in engaging defensively.I think we'll have at least another year of growing pains with Luke.
Of course if the team is going well he'll produce more, making people forgive more....but his game is still very rough around the edges.
Bring Lindy back, get Green out of here holy shit this guy sucks.

Nothing to me indicates Daws has been not ready for the NHL based on this year. The only things that jump out to me is that he has been over worked at two points this season.His system could be to Daws what Nasreddine's was to Blackwood, where Blackwood was the best goalie in the world for about 30 games after Hynes was fired, so maybe Daws could be the best goalie in the world after Ruff was fired?

If he hadn’t been forced to play so much in the NHL both in 21-22 and this year then he may be able to be the backup next year.Nothing to me indicates Daws has been not ready for the NHL based on this year.

1. Right after the stadium series.
2. Right before Lindy was fired.
This is a goalie management issue, not a Daws issue.
Looking at 2 examples of rookie goalie management this year. Hofer has been managed correctly and played 1-2 games per week, as a rookie should, and playing well. Philly didn't get a proper goalie to play with Ersson and he is clearly being overplayed right now and struggling.
Next years goalies should not include Allen, but a legit starter instead. That's my take on it.

Our GM showed he wasn’t f***ing around by burning all things this year’s goalies to the ground at deadline.
This guy nailed it, Fitz didn't set the team up right this year. Next year neither Daws nor Nemec/L.Hughes are rookies anymore next year and should be good with the NHL workload.
He should plan accordingly or he's just going to uncover a new set of problems.
