Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - 2023-24 season part III

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Dominoes are falling

I just had some flower so domino's sounds delicious. The pan double pepperoni. Well done.

Such good shit.

I thought he was waived, apparently not. It's not a big deal, but I don't really like giving up a prospect for him. It'd be nice to find one of these guys who can actually play.

I don’t like a prospect that could step into a needed role next year traded for a part time goon in a position we are stacked at. I don’t like a pick thrown in when we can use it for more Russian fliers

 

[Whaddagoal]

And he’s another defenseman. Where the F is he going to play? We have no forwards to the point we are playing tierney. And we trade an intriguing KHL player with tenacity and speed.

Maybe another move in the works. Or this is the Smith replacement for next year? How much, how long is MacDermid signed for....?

You live in f***ing New Jersey and you eat dominos? Best pizza in the nation. Go to reservoir or something man!

 

[Better Call Sal]

Is there the possibility they think Bardakov is not coming over for several years, if any? And that’s why he was thrown in?

He’s a rental - UFA after this season, 987k.

Even worse to give up two assets for what will be like five games

I was in the mood for cheap crap.

 

[Rhodes 81]

Can we ice an entire line of LW/D combo players? Just need Luke to take a few shifts as a forward now

 

[aero8279]

Now Holtz will be healthy scratched lol

Maybe, but still.

I’ve been there. I get it

 

[Billdo]

The standard port finished bourbon? Very solid. The rye is very sweet.

I'm not a huge drinker so I'm not sure which type it is but this is it.

That’s what I’m thinking as well.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

No good teams has these goons running around, we literally just did what the Rags did after Panarin got body slammed. Sad to see that Fitz died on this hill

Really.... Oh shoot.

Thought he'd have a year or something.... A little weird move then....

 

[Zippy316]

Three games against the Leafs, two against Rangers and Islanders, and one against Flyers to end the year.

Once March 8th hits, you have unlimited roster spots and he could just be stored away until we need him in a rivalry game.

Don’t understand why Bardakov is in the deal. I thought he had a chance at being a hard-to-play against fourth liner, but nothing to lose sleep over.

Dominoes are falling

it's this or rancid let the dominos fall.....which is 1. not a good song and 2. the production f***ing blows on it....

 

[beekay414]

Yay, more awful hockey players for Lindy to be infatuated with

 

[AfroThunder396]

I wonder if this means Smith isn’t going back to defense and will only be playing forward now.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Maybe, but still.


I’ve been there. I get it

My favorite pizza is the scillian from M&S in Rockaway. Well done. So damn good.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Grit!

 

[Better Call Sal]

I hope the people saying we’re too soft are happy now.

That’s the one - I love the port finish, it’s somewhat unusual in bourbon, more common in scotch.

Buffalo Trace / A Smith Bowman collaborate on the Isaac Bowman port finished bourbon which if you like angels envy you may very much enjoy.

I use it as the base for a forbidden sour:

1 part Isaac Bowman
1 part Pama pomegranate liquor
1 part lemon buice
1/2 part simple syrup

All into a shaker with ice, strain over a big cube into a rocks glass. Garnish with a luxardo cherry

 

[Bleedred]

I understand the logic but this does nothing help but fuel their "little brother" comments lol



Eh, that line of him, Mercer and Nico were our best line if you take the totality of the season. Rarely did they have bad nights last year, Nico seems like he's moved off Tatar but Mercer looks like a shell of himself

He had a really good season last year, but the year before that was whatever and the year after it has been whatever.

It’s just the idea that he was gonna be as good as last year if we kept him around this year.

 

[Bone Density]

I wonder if this means Smith isn’t going back to defense and will only be playing forward now.

MacDermid has mostly played LW for the Avs this season. I don't think we want him taking shifts on D, he's putrid lol.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I really don't like that move. At all. Absolutely pointless and a little scary about the direction we are thinking of going.
