Well I know Niko doesn't have Franchise potential for sure now!

Well I know Niko doesn't have Franchise potential for sure now!

I feel kinda bad for Niko he's a solid defenceman but Carolina has the best d-core in the NHL just surprised that the GM decided to lose him for nothing

Hopefully he'll get lots of opportunities in NJ!

Welcome to the hellhole that is the New Jersey Devils. Enjoy playing top pair with a 73 OVR DFD while feeding pucks to a $9M enforcer and the 2017 1st overall pick who scored 29 points last year.

wait... what? is he suppose to be a center? well...

I mean yeah but it looks like the Nashville coach had different ideas...

 

[Weylspin]

The 2023-24 season is all finished and the stats are all here
Some big surprises this time including one player finally lifting the Stanley Cup.
Some players really got their names out there as one player won the Norris trophy and another, the Calder Memorial Trophy.
One thing I just noticed also is that the Rangers have been last for at least 3 seasons in a row which is insanely bad.

 

[Weylspin]

sign B. Kane to a 4 year deal ($5.660M AAV)

sign B. Mahoney to a 2 year deal ($3.450M AAV)

On the subject of the Rangers in my earlier post, they lost Hymen the year before and they just lost their two other created prospects this year which is complete and utter incompetence.

Ray Shero has parted ways with the New Jersey Devils Organization as there were internal complaints from certain franchise players on the roster. Some are saying that the situation resembles the Eichel situation of 2017 however there were no strange comments of any body parts being slapped in this occurrence. We'll see how this effects the team going forward

Obranec won the Norris? Slovak hockey is saved!

 

[Nicos]

Hanson's big press conference in the Miami Beach, wearing only tiny pink shorts and sunglasses: "I think it's time for Hanson to pack the bags in Florida and move on! I have been treated sh**ty in here and my potential has been misused! Therefore, i publicly announce my trade request to the board."

 

[Paneerboy]

YES! F*** Shero! Can't wait to see who's taking over.

"The New Jersey Devils are happy to announce the hiring of Dave Nonis as general manager."

 

[Paneerboy]

*Dave Nonis heads to the post-season upper management meeting, just days after his New Jersey Devils finished 29th overall in the league standings*

"Well guys, we finished 3rd last, which we can all agree is a horrible year. We have a good draft pick, again, and our expiring contracts leaves us with a good amount of cap space. Any ideas on how we approach this offseason?"

*Pro Scout 1 raises his hand*

"Go ahead Bill."

"Well we have a nice young defenseman in Kurtz who's won the best AHL defenseman award for 2 years now, how about we never call him up?"

"We've already been doing that Bill. Any other ideas?"

*Amateur Scout 1 raises his hand*

"Any ideas, Rob?"

"Well this entry draft is pretty strong and we have a high pick but we should draft a player that should have been taken way later in the draft to send a message to the players that this is all on them and we aren't going to help them out."

"No, we tried that last year and surprisingly, it failed."

*Pro Scout 2 raises his hand*

"What have ya got, Louis?"

"Well we lack scoring, and Mike Hoffman, one of our best scorers, is a pending free agent. So, what I suggest is that we lowball him so much, his agency gets pissed and he tests the free agent market."

"That's a good idea, Louis. We should definitely look into that, but that's not bold enough. We need to do something bold."

*Assistant GM raises his hand*

"Let's hear it, Weylin."

"Well boss, the way I see it, we lack offense and goaltending, but defense is our main strength. So what we do in free agency is..."

*dramatic pause*

"We add more defensemen."

*Nonis freezes in his spot, contemplating this idea*

"That's an excellent idea."

[PredsForPresidents]

IM HYPPPEEEE

 

[Weylspin]

Now the end of the 2025-26 season stats are right here

A lot of hardware was given out to the created players including the Stanley Cup, one player especially walked away with alot of trophies.

One rumour that had been going around was that Florida's coach hated fighting in hockey and would bench anyone who fought. This clearly wasn't well communitcated as J. Hanson led his team in fights however got way less icetime than he deserved. With Hanson as an upcoming UFA maybe he will find a new team that embraces his playstyle.

Another league rumor is that there is still unrest in New Jersey and that players are unhappy GM Dave Nonis is unable to build a successful roster around two cornerstone players in D. East and N. Kurtz finishing bottom 10 in consecutive years.

S. Stains is expected to test free agency this upcoming offseason after he called out his team saying how he tired of being the rest of the teams dirty rag. After a successful 79 point campaign there should be many teams lining up to acquire this explosive winger.
