Devils 2018-19 team discussion (player news and notes) - offseason part IV

[Cheddabombs]

Random thought of the day...

I think Bratt is being semi forgotten about and that he continues his beginning of last season form and has a really good year.

20g, 25-30a season on the books in 2018-2019.

He may be a little, I agree. I think most of the talk is about the defense though.

I have zero issues with our forward group going into the season, I'm really excited to see them progress. Bratt and Palmieri as our two top 6 RW's is more than fine with me.

if the pics are from the '95 cup time it couldnt have been zezel… wasnt on team until '97

Pics are from a different year. Definitely during the huge craze of the Devils having moved up in the world. I remember the boom after 94/95 and not being able to drive past a neighborhood without seeing a few hockey games going on.

Anyone wanna guess Palmieri's stat line for 2018-2019?

 

[My3Sons]

he hasn't had to negotiate a contract in 6 years or so? he hasn't had to think about changing agents since then, he's not going to do it 2-3 years out of actually needing them to negotiate. he's probably wanted to change agents for a while and if he's doing it now then it means he's probably ready to start talking

Hopefully that’s all it is.

He’ll clear 30 goals.

I’ll go with 32G-29A-61Pts.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Palms

26g
30a

 

[Call Me Al]

if palms stays healthy and plays on a line with nico and hall he should have 30 goals no problem

 

[Call Me Al]

if he's on the second line with zacha i'd say 25 with 10 of them coming on the pp

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

full quote from Harris on re-signing Hall:

"High. The highest. He's committed, he's authentic, he is an amazing player obviously," Harris said. "He's a guy you build around. Whether it's him, Nico (Hischier), Will (Butcher). Taylor is definitely going to be front and center, so it will definitely be a high priority. I hope I'm working with Taylor for a long time."

 

[Ripshot 43]

Anyone wanna guess Palmieri's stat line for 2018-2019?

Palms I will go with 30g, 25a.

I would go with more assists if I thought he was playing with more goal scorers (I expect 2nd line minutes for him).

 

[Stephen Gionta]

Palmieri 31 goals 29 assists

 

[Stephen Gionta]

F it while we're here:

Hall 31 goals 51 assists
Hischier 24 goals 39 assists
Bratt 18 goals 25 assists
Johansson 17 goals 29 assists
Zajac 11 goals 20 assists
Zacha ??????????

 

[JimEIV]

Here is my one and only prediction:

Blake Coleman 15 goals 23 assist 38 points...It's a bit of a riddle

 

[OmNomNom]

i'm gonna guess $1, Bob

Blake Coleman 15 goals 23 assist 38 points...It's a bit of a riddle

Reverse of Madden’s stat line from his 2nd full season

 

[JimEIV]

Reverse of Madden’s stat line from his 2nd full season

26 year old rookie Madden 25 points - 26 year old rookie Coleman 25 points
27 year old 2nd year Madden 38 points - 23 goals and 15 assist....

27 year old Blake Coleman....This is how the mind of the disturbed works. I see patterns where there aren't any.

Zacha pots 20 this year, in the NHL, book it.

 

[JimEIV]

Zacha pots 20 this year, in the NHL, book it.

Zacha Parise?

 

[Cheddabombs]

Zacha pots 20 this year, in the NHL, book it.

I see your 20, and raise you to 25.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

I think a lot of this franchises fortune relies on what McLeod/Zacha can become. And in my opinion the future doesn't look bright for either of them. I hope I'm wrong

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Zacha Parise?

I don’t think Parise is a lock for 20 goals, honestly, although many Wild fans are pegging him for a bounceback season.

At the same time, they’ve been wishing for many things... for many years...

As far as Zacha goes, 40 points would be sweet.
