Confirmed with Link: Devils Acquire Andrei Loktionov

[SteveCangialosi123]

Its funny how when I mentioned last week about putting Loki on the first line with Kovy to create some kind of Russian Chemistry, a select few of ya' told me that I was nuts to even think of putting a nobody up on that line.



Now try this one, swap out Henrique with Butler & put him on the 2nd line with Clarky & Elias.

Things will get better. And wait till we get to the deadline & they trade some our scrap heap for Vinny Prospal at the deadline.

Mark that down folks.

Hahaha I remember this and I defended u

 

[Bleedred]

I thought we already discussed Prospal being a no go since he's got a verbal agreement to end his career in Columbus, and go on to have a front office job there?

Could be a non deal with the new GM though.

Not to be a dick, but your argument was pretty baseless.

The Russian factor is the worst thing about the two - Loki constantly forces passes to Kovy no matter where the defenders are because Kovy is God in the eyes of Russian kids.

Do the Lokimotion with me

Loved his goal last night. The way he put it between the defenseman and his stick, gaaaah, great goal. Such a smart player!

Very Tavaresque shot indeed.

Am I not wrong anymore about Loktionov being a more promising prospect than Reid Boucher?

Hard to argue right now.

What kind of prejudice is that?

 

[apice3*]

Prejudice? Because Russian kids look up to one of the greatest Russian goal scorers of all time? It's just natural.

 

[NJDevs26]

It's the same reason why people assume every Russian player has to sign here if Lou would just make an offer.

[Uli Hiemer]

he might pass zajac in points soon

 

[apice3*]

[Nashville Transplant]

It's exciting to know that my three formerly worthless Lokti gamers now have risen in value. Lol.

 

[The Wumpus]

Six games in, it's been looking like a very shrewd pickup.

he might pass zajac in points soon

I'm just hoping Travis passes Steven Gionta soon.

Florida can keep the 5th round pick. Hopefully the guy they draft makes it to the AHL!

Ironically Loktionov was a 5th round pick. The sad part is this team is a little better than it was on that winning streak. Loktionov, and Poni are solid additions. However the other guys need to step it up a little. Zajac, Kovy, Clarkson.

No,it's natural to play with your teammates to win games, regardless of the nationality. Even the stats tell Lokti isn't serving as Kovalchuck's sidekick.

Why I think it is silly to go full panic right now. Team is built better then it was when we were hot as hell. Just a bunch of guys are slumping on both sides of the ice. All the forwards you mentioned plus a bunch of guys on D started playing worse, and Moose is in a slump on top of it.

Guys are starting to look better in the last few, especially today. Henrique hopefully can use this to break his slump. I thought Clarkson looked better today then has has in the past two or three. Zajac is still unable to finish and that needs to change. To many chances left on the doorstep by him today.

I am excited to see all the gears going with Loki in the lineup. Add Zubs and another forward to replace Butler and this team can still be very dangerous.

This is so off-base. Don't you know this a cellar team who will most definitely not make the playoffs? You should hate them. They are worthless and will not get better. Pure garbage.

The stats also say that Loktionov is not likely to continue shooting with 40% success, but there's no doubt he looks like he fits where he's playing right now.

 

[Bleedred]

Loktionov isn't even a real shooter from what I've seen, and have been told. Our Kings buddy who comes in here has said he's a pure playmaker. I expect him to get more points through assists than goals.

loki is a baller right now, and im all for balls.

...wait

This is a good way to end

Lokti has proven at least for now he is part of the team and therefore should be talked/complained about in the team thread.
