[Patrik26]

LOL! I was given a huge blanket with this picture a couple of years ago for Christmas. One of the best gifts I've ever received. Pic to follow later tonight!

As promised. Patty flipping the bird on a blanket.

I enjoy a good Fitzy interview, seems like a good guy with the right idea on how to build the team. Think we're in good hands with him as the GM

I'm curious....What is Fitzy's contract situation?

Last I recall is that he wasn't signed long-term as GM or something like that...

If that changed, someone please let me know. Thanks.

He'd be Rafalski if he was an average skater.

No rafalski was a well above average skater. I think butcher would have been a better version of Andy Greene if he could have skated.

No rafalski was a well above average skater. I think butcher would have been a better version of Andy Greene if he could have skated.

First two years:
Rafalski -158 games - 84 points (On the best NJ teams in our history - Teams that were #2 and #1 in the league in goals) - Rafalski was 26 y.o. his rookie year.

Butcher - 159 games - 74 points (On teams that the were #15 and #25 in goals) Butcher was 23 y.o. his rookie year.

Greene's First 4 years - 209 games - 62 points

Butcher's ability to produce points is far superior Greene and more on par with Rafalski

Rafalski skating was ok, but it really deteriorated as career progressed from lots of injuries...But he still managed to produce. 2009/10 in Detroit I remember him being very slow.

Judging these players solely by the raw point totals of their first two seasons is very you thing to do.

Not really what was happening...But ok.

The point was really Butcher's ability to produce points is far superior to Greene and more on par to what Rafalski did

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

What about Max Domi?

NO.

About 10 Christmases ago my mother made me a quilt that was one side a hand made hockey arena and the other side was all made out of some of my childhood Devils T shirts that I wore constantly. It’s one of my most prized possessions that took her soooooo many hours to put together and complete. Looking at your Patty blanket… I’m a little jealous.

 

[Nubmer6]

NO.

Reading that reply, then reading your name made me laugh.

 

[Cheddabombs]

NO.

Seems a bit biased

That quilt sounds awesome! Those personal type gifts are always the best.

 

[Dialamo]

he said his job is secured. no details have come out though

Fitz: I'm here to stay folks!
Harris: Hey Fitz we haven't even discussed your future yet we gotta sit down and---
Fitz: SILENCE!

translated roughly:

In an interview on our airwaves, Alain Nasreddine from @NJDevils tells us that other things are coming to the NJ, especially in attack. The club still has a lot of room on the payroll for acquisitions.

nothing we didn't already know but interesting nonetheless

 

[AfroThunder396]

French language interview with Nas he says more things are coming for the Devils, particularly on offense. Emphasized they have "a lot of room for acquisitions."

 

[RememberTheName]

A lot of people have been trashing him, but I would not mind at all Phil Kessel for the one year he has left on his contract so long as the price isn’t ridiculous

 

[AfroThunder396]

Phil isn't very good anymore, if we're swapping him for PK or getting him for basically free there's no risk but I can't imagine the greedy Yotes are going to just give him away.

 

[MauDevils]

Breaking news, we have money and need goals.

They would want futures.

First Tennyson. Now Kowalsky gone too. It's Christmas in July & August right now people.
