Devils 2021 offseason (news, notes and speculation) - part IX

a JFresh hockey card


*ducks*

As opposed to contextless pt totals as for why he’s good

 

[youryeah]

EvolvingWild, actually. Kessel can still score decently well but he's horrific defensively. Like, Zacha as a center bad defensively. His xGF% was worse than teammate John Hayden.

I know he stinks, was just messing around

 

[Hisch13r]

wonder if its dragged down by overall team performance though

He has the worst xGF% of any of the regulars and his GF% was under 42%. Phil is the one dragging the overall team performance down

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

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

Stating the obvious here, but still encouraging that the coaches and GM are on the same page here about adding talent.

i always wonder how the hell teams manage to get these types of photos

We’ve had a gaping hole in our “Devils players with Instagram dog accounts” quota ever since we traded Coleman.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

It might be a sign that he shouldn’t have been our assistant coach but he didn’t have a job last season. I guess he was with the team in some way because I don’t think they had the heart to full on fire people. (Which is genuinely nice of them, lots of teams had no problem doing that and Buffalo literally fired almost everyone.)

He’s going to be a huge step up from typical ACs in the AHL which are often just ex-players. It’s a job.

edit: Was he still an assistant coach last year? I thought they just shoved him to the side and gave him a fake job.

Meghan Duggan probably made his position, along with Dr. Aimee Kimball, redundant.

Kowalsky never seemed to adjust well to the move from Albany (where he was AHL Coach of the year and his family remained) to Binghamton. I think Hynes screwed him further by bringing him up to NJ.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Murray signs with the Avalanche. Good move for both of them. Both he and Maltsev could go for a nice ride to the finals this year.

 

[glenwo2]

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

Good.

GTFO, Kowalski.

 

[glenwo2]

supporting evidence?

But seriously, he's not the player he once was.

He'd still be better than some of our players not named Jack, Nico, and Bratt, though.

He has the worst xGF% of any of the regulars and his GF% was under 42%. Phil is the one dragging the overall team performance down

On the other hand...

 

[Oneiro]

Sharangovich is so damn wholesome. Really hope he outplays whatever top 6 option we add and ends that discussion.

I still support Fitz going out and getting a scoring winger until we know what's real with all these young guys. But hoping for the best.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Need his jersey next

Sharangovich giving Nico a run for his money as most wholesomest boy

Need his jersey next

Having a hard time deciding between him, smith and hammy. I think i'm gonna go with Govie though

Been a close contest since that video of his wife freaking out about him scoring.

Dougie posted this on Instagram first

 

[NJDevs26]

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."

Amanda put a little cold water on that

 

[MauDevils]

We're trying to add talent just like every single other team in the league.

Doesn't seem like there's even a story there that really needs to be squashed.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

This guy, this guy is my kind of guy.

That would make Kowalsky the one-armed man.
