Hi, I'm mat.
Nah man. HEADLINES SHERO NEEDS TO MAKE HEADLINESEveryone *****ing about Ray Shero but at least he ain't out there giving a player like Kevin ****ing Hayes a 50 million dollar contract.
We can all breath now.

They explained what happened after the season. Hall had discomfort in his knee. He saw 2 doctors who both recommended rest and when it didn’t heal up better on it’s own they eventually did surgery and found some loose bodies that explained the discomfort. The surgery was minor but they wanted to explore all non-surgical possibilities before opening him up, which is prudent.
There wasn’t a conspiracy to hide a serious injury.
Cause of Taylor Hall's knee injury evaded doctors for months
Kinkaid was so bad last season, I don't even think he'll be that bad next season.
He can be good if he's a backup, but he'll probably be bad if he has to play more than a sparsely used backup.
He's probably somewhere between what he was in 17-18 and 18-19. But I think he could be .913%, just as a backup only. Can't see him putting in another .913% season on 40 games.
I still don't expect him to be in the league for many more years. I'd say his NHL career is more than likely close to 2/3rd's of its way over. At least in years played. It might be closer 3/4th's over in actual games played, as he's played over 80 games the last two seasons. I don't see him playing a combined 80 games over the next two seasons.
He's a Chad Johnson or Al Montoya type. Those kinds of goalies are out of the league by about 32-33 years old. And they also see major fluctuations from year to year in their play.
No reason to he bounced back pretty well and play a good world’s. He can ease Blackwood into the starters rolewould you still buy schneider out?
they did more than that in order to tank.
they didnt care. it worked out. it was just as painful to watch than overpaid UFAs underperforming.
people need to get over themselves and their preferred strategies
So releasing Dea is evidence of us tanking?we released sebastian dea in the first couple months.
he would have been on our first line in march.
like thats not good management to hit KPI’s unless theyre completely different than fan expectations
Nothing you are saying makes sense.
One more bad year and I definitely would. If he can't do better than .90x% this year, I think it's safe to buy him out next June if he isn't LTIR'd. At that point, it's only a 2 year buyout, which is only 4 years of a cap hit buyout. And then there's always the chance of amnesty buyouts coming with the CBA that might expire after this coming season and Schneider is still the worst contract the Devils have, as Zajac only has 2 years left (and is still a 45 point player as of last season and his contract isn't a problem for his output like people used to claim) and Greene has just one year left.would you still buy schneider out?

I said wake me up on Friday, not wake me up with all of this nonsense, my God...
Dea wouldn't have nearly been our best forward by the end of last season.no. not really. just shows the swings of managements belief in competitiveness to give up a forward who would be your best by seasons end for nothing.
dea was a casualty of the devils getting healthy and realizing their full potential. when it didnt work out he would have been one of their best forwards. kinda crazy to think of a gm plan where that swing is acceptable.
I think the season transitioned from being terrible because of goalie play to being terrible because of injuries all over the roster sometime around the beginning of the 2019 season.could you elaborate? the devils were not concerned with winning after the end of november. i think that makes total sense.

people making any kind of excuse for our march lineups is excruciating. we were in tank mode and it worked out. thats cool until it doesnt.
Jean-Sebastian Dea? That is who you are talking about right?
I feel there is some glimmer of truth in what he is saying, I mean, I would have like to have kept Dea as well, I thought he was a decent little player, and a righty, but then he just goes beserker with it. Somehow Dea would have been one of our best fwd's, trying to put him through waivers was a sign of tanking? Cuckoo stuff.He somehow make less sense as the night goes on.
If Dea is our best forward by season's end then doesn't that show that we need more talent in the pipeline?
Or was everyone hurt on purpose to tank because once the calendar hit December the team totally gave up and didn't want to win again and then traded away .891 Kinkaid so that .918 Blackwood could help us sink closer to the bottom of the standings?
I can't keep this stuff straight anymore.
Dea had 5 points through about a quarter of tbe season budno. not really. just shows the swings of managements belief in competitiveness to give up a forward who would be your best by seasons end for nothing.
