GDT: Devils vs. Blue Jackets - 7:00 PM - MSG+

[Emperoreddy]

Coleman?

They are not going to make it work while Coleman has gas in the tank.

Sell high on him.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Bad luck is all

Ok Dano

 

[vtdevils2k]

Coleman?

IF you can get a good/big package, you have to look into it.

This team needs so much more talent than what it has.

 

[Blender]

Only if Butcher goes with him.

I'd say trade Butcher, but he's pretty much destroyed any trade value he might have, so...

 

[Blender]

Coleman is great, but if the return is right (good picks and/or prospects) you should move him some time before next season starts.

 

[njdevils1982]

im still not convinced that 1st overall doug wickenheiser was selected to play in an all star game

 

[Nemec]

The Devils will prob win the draft again this season, and draft another bust

 

[guitarguyvic]

Can anyone think of any other team that ever held onto a player as detrimental as Cory for three f***ing years? It’s just mind blowing that a GM - they guy who should have the most intimate understanding and pulse of each player on the squad - thought Cory still had something in the tank to even serve as a backup with no viable plan B at all.

 

[Tretyak 20]

what's an uber cost?

More than a Greyhound ticket.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Luckily we have never drafted a bust at 1st overall

 

[Lou is God]

You don't trade Nico nor do you trade Hughes.

Honestly everyone else outside of those two, fair game, minus the first round pick. Love Coleman, but if you can get a big package, you have to look into it.

Team is so so bad, it's sad.

I've said it before, fix the blue line and watch how fast we get better, the forwards are fine and for the most part a young unit, but the defensemen unit is a flaming exploding train wreck, they're small, worthless and weak.

 

[Tretyak 20]

I'm saying I think that's just the beginning.

I don't think so. I still suspect Shero was the one who wanted to sell and the owners weren't buying a ten year rebuild.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I mean, I don't really care. My bigger point is that the only purpose it serves to move him there right now is to drag down the other two. Hughes isn't playing any better than Zacha, Wood or Simmonds.

maybe not defensively, but he definitely is playing better than them offensively. He just doesn't have anything to show for it because they can't score for shit.

You can’t win games with the left side we ice. You would have a hard time with our rights side, but this left side is ECHL bad.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That is an absurd save by Blackwood.

 

[captainscott]

how is will butcher in an NHL lineup ?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Yeah, Jack included.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We are going to ruin this kid.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

im still not convinced that 1st overall doug wickenheiser was selected to play in an all star game

the trivia was last 1st overall to not get selected. that guy was way before yakupov lol

 

[Blender]

Would be like 8-0 if Cory were still in.

 

[MauDevils]

Because the waterboy is next up on the depth chart.

 

[njdevils1982]

ah……"last guy"……i read it too fast……now it makes sense

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Yeah, Jack included.

yea well no shit lol. But we knew this when we drafted him. People were saying he has a good shot or w/e. I'm not convinced he'll ever be a good goal scorer but w/e, he is a good playmaker...we just need goal scorers.

 

[My3Sons]

If true team had two goalies of Blackwood’s level they wouldn’t be embarrassing in my view.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This team was never making the playoffs. The forwards are ok but way too young and raw in key areas.

The defense is simply not good enough. Not even close.

Replacing Cory with Lehner would have simply created false hope and prevented the deadline selling that needs to happen.
