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

[The 29th Pick]

I'd like Semin on the team just to rough up Marc Staal again !!!!
remember this

 

[Missionhockey]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gelinas/Brunner for Semin.

I think Semin would probably be worth more than that.

 

[MullerBrotenVerbeek]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gelinas/Brunner for Semin.

I'd be ok with that

 

[Devils Dominion]

I think Semin would probably be worth more than that.

Semin is quickly trending downwards.

 

[Camille the Eel]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gelinas/Brunner for Semin.

I'd be still less surprised to see nothing.

I bet the team goes into camp just like it is. Wouldn't surprise me and would be just like Lou if they were through with moves for now.

umm not really.

Doubtful. Including Carter we have 15 forwards on the NHL team.

Doesn't mean we can't go into camp with 15.. Why make a move before Lou has a chance to see everyone in camp?

Because Lou is not okay with putting Zubrus, Ruutu, or Ryder on the 4th line.

Camm -Zajac - Jagr

Elias, Clowe, Henrique, Ruutu, Ryder, and Zubrus all make over 3 million.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Hope you are right, it would be good to see things reshuffled for a more optimum mix, it's hard to see how all this fits together at the moment

"When time is on your side, you use it." Unless Lou receives an offer that knocks his socks off, I think he'll wait into at least training camp before doing anything. Injuries will happen - for the Devils as well as for other teams. Why pull the trigger before you need to / know everything? He had Stralman practicing with the team into November.

 

[NJDevs26]

@NHLonNBCSports is tweeting some cool pics from Media Day

Is there Media Day coverage on NHL Network (radio or TV)?

Stralman wasn't sign to a contract. I don't see Lou just releasing Brunner. Best chance for him to trade him is before camp begins.

 

[Oneiro]

If we got Semin with 1-2 years left on his deal, I'd have no problem dealing for him. I think he's one of those players who would over-perform in a Devils uniform and make everyone eat crow.

But that's too much money for too long. We'll need the room. The long-term deals we made this summer for our own guys are exactly what I want to see when we have to re-up Merrill, Larsson, etc. Basically at or below market-value deals.

And then maybe - come 2017-2018 - we make a shrewd Chara-like UFA signing. (Van Riemsdyk, E. Kane...some prime forward that opts for UFA).

 

[Brooklyndevil]

I hear Semin makes 7 million per. Well, if that's the case I would trade Bernier for him.

How much do you think a two way forward with the potential for PPG production is worth?

 

[njdevil26]

I think his contract will hurt the Canes when trading him... plus the Russian factor. Whether you admit it or not, Russians are disappearing from the NHL at a steady pace. The cap will continue to climb and guys like Ryder, Jagr, Salvador, Zidlicky, Ruutu, and Zubrus will be freeing up considerable cap space in the years to come. I don't mind Semin's contract at all.

I would pull the trigger on Brunner/Gelinas/2nd for Semin if that's realistic.

Cammalleri-Zajac-Jagr
Henrique-Elias-Semin
Clowe-Gomez-Ryder
Ruutu-Zubrus-Carter

Bernier-Gionta

Greene-Larsson
Salvador-Zidlicky
Kaberle-Merrill
Harrold

How freaking deep is that?
I know, I know... Ruutu and Zubrus won't be on the fourth line. We have way too many forwards.

[njdevil26]

I think Harris was born wasted drunk.

Listening to him talk is fun.

Watching it again...He is wasted and its awesome just rambling and slurring and also it looks like someone just finished giving him a noogie

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

if I had as much money as he did, I'd be wasted all the time with no care too.
