News Around the League: 2017-2018 During and AFTER THE CUP

[NJDevs26]

Unreal Glad we're not involved this year.

Imagine the knots we'd be tying ourselves into if it was last year, after we got bumped up in the top three. It'd be ages of us imagining the Flyers get the top pick and us being third.

And spacing it out that much is just stupid. At least have the first 'part' during the first intermission (god forbid they interfere with Coach's Corner though).

Isles might have some interest in Lou if Toronto doesnt resign him

 

[NJDevs26]

The only reason Lou would even give the Isles a passing thought is the same reason Scotty Nieds went to Anaheim...family ties. I could see them kicking Snow upstairs for Lou or whomever as GM though.

That line from Friedman was one of Friemdan's blind speculation thoughts.

I wouldn't clarify it as interest at all.

So ends JJ’s NHL career.

Bust central.

Bust central.

Especially when you see the guys taken just after him...

he had his worst career year with buffalol, which is consistent with the thought that their team just holds players back *coughkanecough*

Oh come on. If teams thought Kane was only being held back by putting on a Sabres jersey they would've offered us more than a pair of socks and a used jock strap for him.

Fun Fact:

After YaYo at #20, John Moore was taken with the very next pick @ #21, and MoJo and Palmieri were taken a few later at #24 & #26.

EDIT: And Sami Vatanen #106. Lots of current Devils from that draft year.

Quite ironic, almost like Ray intentionally tried to correct the Josefson mistake.

I'll always hold my two little Swedes in a special place in my heart. You go do great things JJ, tell Teddy too.

I do miss the smiles those two had for each other. I loved teddy's dumb toothless smile

I recently had a dream that Teddy was back playing with us.

You know what's scary? I know it is the same for most teams too but just look at how many drafts we COMPLETELY s'd the bed on in the 2000s. Like absolutely horrible.

I can think of a 5 letter word.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I might have to submit 2009 as the worst Devils draft year in team history.

Their 7 picks have played a combined 588 NHL games (315 by YaYo), all of them are out of the NHL by the tender age of 27, and none of them were useful players.

NHL GAMES BY PICK
#1 = 315
#2 = 189
#3 = 34
#4 = 50
#5 = 0
#6 = 0
#7 = 0

shit i forgot you're on here too :|

well, botterill and housley have a ton of work to do in terms of roster management and strategy. it's been a really long time since you had a winning record ('11-'12), and i don't think the whole idea of "bad vibes" around the locker room is false

tim murray was not a step in the right direction at all

I've pointed this out quite a few times. including just the other day. Shero really came in and righted the wrongs of that 2009 draft by acquiring 3 players picked merely just a few spots behind Josefson and who are all better than him. Not even counting Vatanen, as he was picked about 85-90 spots later, but Vatanen was picked after guys like Urbom and Gelinas.

I would have woke up screaming and yelling for my mommy.

How could anyone hate that smile?? So wholesome.

Holy shit, dat relative corsi tho.

Josefson didn't even have that going for him this year. He was a -12.6 in relative corsi, after being a +0.1 career with us.

I remember seeing he scored a couple shootout goals though. He also had that crap goal on Cory on a breakaway back in December, in the first game to start his 12 game losing streak/12 straight games of at least 3 goals against streak. It was one of his 2 goals and 4 points in 39 games this year. That makes his production with us look pretty good. Seems like he was nothing but a complete black hole this past season.

Haha nah! I'm glad those days are over!

How many BUMS can you get in one f***ing picture? Jay Leach, Anssi Salmela, Tedenby, Josefson.

Poor Marty. He's in that shot with a bunch of f***in terrible players.
