I hate trading players whose ceiling is still known and Wood is one of those players, I could see him becoming a top power forward in this league who puts in 3o+ goals a year. It would have to be more a player like Karlsson for me to be comfortable parting with him.

stone's a pretty good return though...

Who is this Phinney man on the training camp roster?

 

[njdevil26]

I could be way off but is this the first contract hold-out since Niedermayer? Not seeing Wood on the training camp roster is a little concerning.

Behind The Glass: New Jersey Devils Training Camp debuts Sept. 26

I’m sure this was posted already somewhere. But wanted to post it here at the beginning of this thread in case anyone missed it. Looks neat, and very cool that we’re the first organization to do something like this. Besides the behind the scenes of the winter classic teams they did.


“September 13, 2018 - The National Hockey League (NHL®), NHL Network™ and the New Jersey Devils® today announced the launch of a new four-part, all-access series titled Behind The Glass: New Jersey Devils Training Camp, premiering Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 7:00 p.m. ET on NHL Network. Making the first series of its kind focused on the NHL preseason, each 30-minute episode of Behind The Glass will offer fans an unprecedented look inside the NHL preseason through the lens of the Devils, who are coming into the 2018-19 NHL regular season following their first Stanley Cup Playoff appearance in six years.”

that's because he's about to be swapped for EK65, 1 for 1

Can anyone tell me what SI Now is? Is it another monthly service? Just want to be sure I can watch this thing.

Just imbedding the video from above.

Dreger on potential Karlsson suitors: "as I was driving I got a call from a junior contact, believe it or not, who suggested that maybe the New Jersey Devils has inched their way into the process."



Uh oh!

It looks like it’s on NHL network every Monday once it starts.

On one hand, I wouldn't mind him being included in a deal for Karlsson or Stone... obviously..... but on the other hand, you can't replace what he brings to this team... his ridiculous speed, the goals he did score, his toughness...

i saw the rumors, but if dreger is reporting it too hmm.........

smart to mention it's from a junior contact though. So if it "falls through", then his reputation is safe

guarantee you if we move to get him, then wood is outta here

 

[Cheddabombs]

come home Karlsson

 

[JrFischer54]

with wood holding out it would almost be a certain that he would be included in any trade that the devils get in on. (not saying EK specific) also i'm not saying i agree that wood should be dealt.

Yeah that’s where I bump my head, how would anyone who’s in juniors know before a deal is actually done? And suggesting maybe is quite vague.

 

[OmNomNom]

Yeah that’s where I bump my head, how would anyone who’s in juniors know before a deal is actually done?

the way i see "junior contact" is moreso of someone who's a new "insider source" for darren, like a rookie contact, as opposed to someone who's been reliable with information for a while.

but still, the fact that dreger is dangling that little tidbit is interesting...

Pretty easy to answer this. First off, not entirely sure "junior" contact means "in juniors" or just not someone Dreger considers reliable or senior in his hierarchy of contacts.

But there are people of all ages and status that work in hockey front offices, for agents, for players. If Ottawa has a scouting intern at camp this year who last year worked at a junior team and is close with people there he could absolutely mention something that is clearly going on at his place. And if one of those people has a line to Dreger, for whatever reason... very easy something like that could happen.

i hope cheapo melnyk is attracted to miles wood

 

[ScottyK]

Damn it darren lol

I’ve never seen that kind of stipulation on a rumor before, McKenzie doesn’t post stuff his stringers hear unless he gets his own confirmation.

that's why it's so weird -- dreger is a pretty reputable guy, he doesn't really dangle stuff. he's not mckenzie and friedman level in terms of reputation, but he's up there with the likes of rishaug and lebrun, i'd argue. these people rarely get things wrong

 

[None Shall Pass]

Well, that's interesting.

ISN'T IT NICE, THE SEASON IS STARTING

 

[Lou is God]

Great, how am I now supposed to get work done today?
