Damon Severson turns 21 today. Happy birthday to him!

Did the Devils let their Strength and Conditioning Coach go?

I don't think. If they did though, he's another guy that's been there for like a century. I think Vasalani has been with the team since the early 90s.

Development/skills coach is a different role than strength/conditioning, so I'd imagine they didn't let him go.

I think the development /skills coach and the goalie development /skills coach are new positions for this coming season. Shows the owners are willing to pay for a better ice product by adding salaries. Maybe no additional salary for goalie coach because Hedberg was goalie coach for Albany.

He has played 51 games. Let's see what he does this year.

I think so too. It's really amazing how young all our defense outside of Andy is.

 

[BomaLightDevils]

What would be the most realistic trade to get another 1 rd og 2 rd pick without giving up the young guns?

If we are rebuilding now we need to stack those picks?

Kinkaid at the deadline?

Trading Elias could net us a second rounder possibly.

 

[Maine Fan]

If he is playing well up to the deadline but he has NTC

i cant see them trading elias enless he asks for it. They still need some senior guys around to mentor the younger players

 

[Devils Dominion]

Patty would approve a trade to the right team.

But I think he'd rather finish his career here even with all the changes.

 

[DevilsFanInFla]

I think Patty will stick around but you never know. I don't see management asking him to waive his NTC but he may want one last shot at a Cup and I would wish him well if he asked for a trade to a contender. Hopefully he, and the rest of the team, plays better this season though it would be hard to play worse so I expect somewhat of a bounce back for him. I'd love to see him close out his career as a Devil but if he wants another shot at the Cup, we all know it won't happen here this season so I'd cheer him on wherever he went.

 

[Burner Account]

You ask Elias what he wants to do, and you go from there.

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

This is the best course of action.

 

[Csonked Out]

This is the best course of action.

I am actually expecting him and Zajac to have pretty big years. Hynes system should help both of them a ton, my question is, do we offer Elias another year if he does go off? I say yes

As long as Elias is playing capably, I think we should retain him.

DD you are absolutely correct. Patty is happy in NJ his family is settled and that is important to him but at the trade decline if he is playing well he might agree to a trade to a team that has a lock for the playoffs and cloud win the Cop final.

Big like 45-50 points?

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

If Elias wants to be moved at the trade deadline, Shero should try to ship him to a contender, but otherwise Elias should be allowed to remain a Devil for as long as he can play capable hockey if that is what he wants. It would be really nice if Elias could retire a career Devil, and there is a chance that he could be a good role model to Zacha depending on when Zacha begins his NHL career.

Figured I would add some interesting questions to spice up this off-season. So let's see if anyone can answer all of these questions correctly.

Who has more points as a Devil? Tommy Albelin or Adam Henrique

Who has more assists as a Devil? Scott Gomez or Scott Stevens

Who had a higher single season point total for the Devils? Brian Gionta or John MacLean

Who has a higher PPG total during their time with the Devils? John Madden or Scott Stevens

Last, but not least:

How many ATMs are located inside the Prudential Center -- including the one in the box office?

I stumbled across the last one in the media guide and just felt obligated to post it. Either that or the total amount of restrooms in the Prudential Center.

EDIT: I tried to keep the questions so that they could really go either way, more to where they are educated guesses.

 

[SeidoN]

these are just educated guesses honestly

Henrique
Stevens
Gionta
Stevens
Great, now when I finally come to the rock, the first thing ill have to do is count the ATMs

EDIT: I think I messed up on #1 but imma leave it for parity sake

 

[Csonked Out]

Big like 45-50 points?

Big like 65-70.....just a gut feeling I have about him and Zajac. Could just be the fireball too haha

Guesses:

Henrique (but I imagine it's close... Albelin was a Devil for many years)
Gomez
MacLean (he had that big year he put up 90+ points, Gionta never did that)
Stevens
Not a clue
