Devils Team Discussion (current team/player news and notes) ‎PART X

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Yes because this team is so flush with good young centers

I still take a talented winger over Kadri.

Atleast we have a good young center. Do we have a good young winger? K.

You should think of henrique as a winger. I'd bet that's what he stays as.

I'll be really pissed off if Ryan Carter signs with the Rangers, and we're stuck with Berner/Gionta.

Rangers bottom 6 is more than filled plus they have RFA's to sign. I highly doubt they are considering Carter anymore

 

[Ripshot 43]

Any legitimate rumors out there for what we are up to?

Other than Lou saying we are still looking to do 1 or 2 things, no. Nothing else out there that is credible.

Are there ever? Just a bunch of fake insiders on Twitter

I still don't know why Carter wasn't signed first, he's worth more than those two other turds combined. God forbid we lose Gionta, we have to lock him up for two years, barf.

Damn. Was really wanting Grabo.

Lol hey, I'm bored and was hoping!

The two years baffles me but shows that the organization (or at least Lou) values him and his role more than most on HF.

Carter isn't signed because of Carter. He's either trying to get addition years in negotiation, more $ or probably both. Hell, if Gionta got 2 years, would you sign Carter to 3 or 4 years at 1.25 to 1.5 a year?

Absolutely not. 2 years 1.25 million is the max contract I'd give him

 

[Bleedred]

I would have rather brought back Carter for $1.25 million than Bernier for free.

 

[Burner Account]

Wonder what the issue is with Carter.

Also, just thinking about Eric Gelinas has me really excited for this season.

I read somewhere that talks slowed down because of the holiday weekend. Let's hope that's the case.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Well if Gionta gets 2 why wouldn't an actually useful Carter get more? I agree btw... That type of a player I wouldn't give more than 2 years.

The young D in general does this for me. I'm prepared to live with the growing pains as well but the fact that they all played last year or before makes it a positive. Can't wait to see that booming shot all season!

 

[Devils1029]

I think the deal with Carter is that NJ may also be looking at having room for Matteau. Matteau is a center/LW and it could be argued that he could bring the same type of game that Carter does.

If we were able to move Ruutu and/or Zubrus, then there could be room to bring Carter back and that's probably what the holdup was. Perhaps Lou asked for a few days to try to work out a deal.

Doubt it. Enough guys most likely come off the books that if Matteu is ready it won't be Carter blocking him. Kid is going to get top 9 minutes when he comes up.

Hold up is the holiday and most likely other teams actually want carter which most likely wasn't the case with the other two. (Especially Bernier. His contract is proof not a soul was interested. Team or two might or sniffed at Gio.

Would love bobby ryan, Idk what it would take tho

 

[Emperoreddy]

So who do we see taking Volch and Fayne's PK time? Lars and Merrill going to be thrown into the fire?

It really has to be, we have no other reasonable choice.

 

[Bcap88]

I think both can realistically handle it, No way is Gelly or Zids on the ice for the pk

 

[Offseason Champs]

I would wager Merrill over Larsson simply because of the faith the staff seems to have in Jonny over Adam at this point in time. That could change as the season progresses, but yeah.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Greene-Salvador (PK1)
Merrill-Larsson (PK2)

 

[MissionCanucksFan]

Canucks Fan here coming in peace

Few weeks ago Burrows was approached by Benning to waive to go to you guys but he said no. Just curious as to who you guys were offering and how you see value in him. Thanks guys
