Confirmed with Link: Zubrus Unconditionally Released

[Ders Effect]

It's a bit OT but I don't really care if Zacha gets signed or not this summer. He should be in junior this year.

Call me selfish (I am), but I would like to see what he could do in the NHL this season.

Now, that is a wildly reckless wish but I am just eager to see this guy play.

It is almost certain that he will be back in Junior.

Ray Shero says he wanted to take advantage of the NHL's second buyout period because he is looking to sign or trade for more forwards.


Well then

 

[Ders Effect]

I wonder if Gomez will show up to camp in disguise to try to win his spot back.

Given where we are in relation to the cap, this makes sense.

Are there any worthwhile UFA's even left?

I was half expecting a deadline trade if we were in the mix late in the year, but heck if we are speeding up this process, then let's do it.

There is a fan who wears a #8 Devils jersey to games with these words on the back:

"Lithuanian Love Machine"

She must be devastated right about now.

He'll need plastic surgery and a forged birth certificate to look ten years younger

Short little story time: When I went to the Cowboys/Jaguars game at Wembley they had a DJ there called DJ Ray. He was pretty bad, but the English folk behind me were hilarious in heckling him. They were always yelling "Come on DJ Ray," and even that was funny to me because I love their accents

I share that story because that's the first thing that popped into my head when I read that tweet. So, I might just start calling Shero, DJ Ray....

Come on DJ Ray! Get it done

Tlusty is probably the best forward available.

She's my girlfriend's best friend and she may be getting sent home from work for how upset she is. No joke. She was also as obsessed with Gomez. This has been a hard off season on here while it's been awesome for everyone else haha.

Some people might think she is a little

But, we all are if we're honest on how much thought and time we put into our favorite sports teams.

Maybe she will latch on to a new player this season who hasn't been stalked yet...

 

[Ders Effect]

Fans need to know that nothing is forever.

Unless its Kovalchuk, I ripped the name plate off that jersey.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

I was going to say that we might see a lot of Mike Sislo this year and that's not a good thing.

It is if we're aiming for Puljujarvi or Matthews.

And with the new 3-team lottery, there might still be a good chance of that happening even if we're a better team than last year.

 

[njdevils1982]

The thing I remember most about Zubrus was that legendary forechecking shift him, Clarkson, and Bergfors had against Washington.

i remember it…...that was the shift of the season…..amazing stuff

 

[Devils Dominion]

Tlusty is probably the best forward available.

Do you want him on this roster?

Doesn't really get me excited.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

I think we may end up having to sign someone after the season starts if no one grabs a spot. I wouldn't mind Tlusty in that case, but I think he might be one of the few to get a contract before then.

She is.

She will find someone else. My GF loved Clarkson then switched to Henrique VERY briefly then settled on Gelinas.

I was just about to write "Farewell to the Lithuanian Love Machine". Tell your girl's friend to check out Zacha's hair. He can be a replacement for her

Seriously though all the best to Zubrus. He was a hard working Devil. Unfortunately the best days are behind him. Thanks for all you did

 

[Colin226]

She is.

Sounds like you're just the guy helping pay bills while she waits for one to fall into her lap

 

[devilsblood]

I'd prob go no, that's a filler move that maybe makes us marginally better. I'd rather be patient, see how it plays out, and then make a bigger move later.

Lol and you know my girlfriend pretty well.

There ya go. I knew he had to have something more up his sleeve. Like I've been saying, I'm expecting one more top-6 guy to plug in.

 

[Jersey Man]

Zubrus was pure class. Great teammate on and off the ice. Will miss him.

 

[Normal Devil]

Zubrus was a good dude, but he couldn't play dead any longer ... time to go.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Zubs was the best. One of my favorites. Pure class and a pure warrior.

Could ask nothing more from him.

But as it's been said. It was time. He is out of gas.
