Devils re-sign Stefan Noesen (1 year, $660k)

 

[Classic Devil]

Merge em' mods!

 

[OmNomNom]

hell of a deal

 

[NJDevs26]

Two-way deal? Guess he's not the definite for the lineup some thought he was.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Coleman, too. Don't know if he deserves a thread though lol

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Another two-way deal. I like it.

Wood/Blandisi-Boyle-Noesen could be an effective fourth line.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Two-way deal? Guess he's not the definite for the lineup some thought he was.

He isn't waiver exempt, so it really doesn't matter is it one-way or two-way deal.

 

[Classic Devil]

I think you're all reading too much into the two-way deal here. He just signed his QO.

 

[Classic Devil]

Coleman, too. Don't know if he deserves a thread though lol

And Rooney.

Edit: and Thomson.

 

[Classic Devil]

So far only Pietila has gotten a two-year contract.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Remember when Shero was an idiot and we needed to give up 2nd round picks for Toronto's trash because we only had 33 or whatever contracts?

 

[None Shall Pass]

Woohoo

 

[Devils Dominion]

Rooney should have been AHL only.

 

[Triumph]

Rooney should have been AHL only.

The Devils have 42 contracts, two of which are guaranteed slides (Bratt, Sissons). They're not going to hit the 50 contract limit any time soon.

 

[Bleedred]

Rooney should have been roller hockey league only.

Absolutely agree.

 

[Billdo]

Rooney should have been AHL only.

Well I mean there's very little shot he ever plays a NHL game anyway.

You would hope.

His 4 NHL games last year made me think that maybe Kalinin wasn't that bad. Dude was Mark Fraser equivalent to forwards.

I didn't even remember him getting 4 games.

 

[Bleedred]

I didn't even remember him getting 4 games.

They were all between March 4th and March 11th.

Rooney reminds me of a faster Rod Pelley. He's a smart player who does all the little things right, but he doesn't have much skill. He's a good bottom-six AHL player, but the NHL game was way too fast for him last year.

I'm interested to see Thomson next year. I loved what he brought as a crash-and-bang fourth liner last year. I think there's an opportunity for him to make the team at 4LW if the Devils are looking for a prototypical fourth line. Thomson - Boyle - Noesen would be a pretty sturdy fourth line.

I actually liked Thomson. He has an edge we really lack.

I did too.

He skates well, he's good defensively (used in a shutdown role in Albany with Pelley), he goes to the net, he finishes his checks, and he's a big dude 6'4" 220 who is not afraid to fight.

I think he could carve out a role as an enforcer who can take a regular shift on the fourth line. Shawn Thornton-esque.

 

[Bleedred]

I actually liked Thomson more than any of the career-AHL call ups from last season.

Though he also only played 3 or 4 games I think? Looked fine in those games and didn't seem to take as many stupid hooking penalties because he couldn't get the hell out of his end, like frickin Coleman. Although he did have 2 minors. A cross checking and a boarding. Probably due to his physicality.

I didn't think he was that bad, but only a 3 game sample size.

 

[RNCDevil]

Rooney, reminds me of a funnier Rod Carew, with similar hockey potential.
