[Marshal Rochambeau]

who is riley boychuk

edit nvm he sucks

 

[DevilChuk*]

WOOHOOO!!!

best offseason in a LONG time

 

[manilaNJ]

Didn't think we'd see a dman moved that fast.
Lou... he's getting **** done, guys.

 

[Devils Trap]

All 4 thinks I wanted to to get done

HE DID IT

 

[KovalSNIPE]

no way... out of all the dmen, id rather have volch and sal gone...

 

[SeidoN]

rather an extra pick next year buy whatever, the Tally is gone

 

[Devils Trap]

Good job Lou. No more 8 defensemen system !!!!

 

[DevilChuk*]

no way... out of all the dmen, id rather have volch and sal gone...

And they are, conversely, harder to move.

 

[SeidoN]

just noticed boychuk was a 208th overall. so basically just an epic cap dump. what happened to getting a 3rd-4th? well anyway, good news

 

[Jersey Man]

I guess this is good. One less is good.

 

[JMarce]

There were others I'd rather have gotten rid of but Tallinder was the obvious choice in terms of movability. Thank god no more 8 Dmen.

 

[DevilChuk*]

Good job Lou. No more 8 defensemen system !!!!

To be fair, we already only had 7.

Incoming Zidlicky signing though.

Another Albany pickup. Its whatever, atleast we got a forward for Albany

its pretty clear he isn't trading Sal and no one wants volch

 

[New Jersey Devils]

C'mon Volch next.

Yup. I dont think we were getting any picks from these kind of dumps. Good trade. Thanks buffalo.

While we rag on Volchenkov he does bring something on our defense that we are lacking... hard hitting and stellar shot blocking. He does serve a role where Salvador and Tallinder were redundent aging pieces.

 

[R8Devs]

Tallinder I guess was the only tradeable one out of the three..

 

[Bleedred]

Brutal contracts. Tallinder is on a much better one. Does this mean zid returns ? And who is this guy we got? AHL depth pretty much?

 

[SeidoN]

so are we using this cap for something or just a roster space

 

[Mgd31]

Lol who. Still good trade, but here comes Zidlicky

 

[jkrdevil]

One year left and a team who had good history with him. Yes

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Bet Buffalo is hoping Tallinder helps Myers find his game again.

 

[devsfan4life]

Well, theres your cap space
