GDT: Devils vs. Penguins - 7:00 PM - MSG+

[Satans Hockey]

I was at the game and was surprised at how many people were there. MSG had a sold out Allman Brothers show as well which I find even more interesting since they have an older fan base. People really don't seem too concerned so far.

I actually wanted to go last night specifically because at this point you don't know when the last home game is going to be at the rate things are going (and my next scheduled game isn't till the 21st), but wound up having last-minute plans and was glad of it cause the game was such a clunker.

I'm actually debating using a buyback for tomorrow since I have a bunch left and I had planned on using for the end of the season anyway. Figure if I use it it tomorrow I can get the most money back for next season if they end up playing any games without fans.

Holy cow man. Nico and Jack are here to stay quit wishing for different. Its just depressing to read your constant negativity about the young guys...

It’s depressing to watch them consistently not make a difference.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

All I needed was that win against the Rangers Saturday. Now I’m ready for the offseason.

I also require a win against the Maple Leafs in a couple weeks, especially if it means the Leafs miss the playoffs by 2 points.

 

[Patrik26]

Do we want Subban next year?

The owners want him. Those marquee names get fans into the building.

Nico is particularly concerning as I think he may be playing injured. Hopefully not doing long term damage in this garbage season.

Subban has been good. I'd keep him around.

Ya. Not sure why so many are so hot to drop him.

If he were making, for example, 3M a year would everyone be so eager to get rid of him? Is it entirely a cost issue? If so, it shouldn't matter, cause we potentially need his salary just to keep above the floor.

 

[Bleedred]

Subban is overpaid by quite a bit and having a career worst year in points by a lot, but he’s still arguably the best defenseman the team has.

The only justification for jettisoning him is his contract, but losing him makes the team worse.

What do we after we dump him? Sign Joel Edmundson to a stupid contract or start playing Mueller, Carrick and other idiots more? f*** that.

Subban isn’t a bad player. He might be next year or the year after, but he’s not a bad player yet. Just a badly overpaid one right now.

As long as Cory is on the team he isn’t even the worst contract.

 

[Call Me Al]

his contract is a non-factor with the cap space and actual assets this team has. he's been fine and should be kept until probably the expansion draft but even then i'm not sure we're going to just get someone better than him

 

[Call Me Al]

when the team is up against the cap that contract might look bad but i don't see that happening in the next 2 seasons. at this rate jack will be getting a bridge deal and not the 8 year $10m everyone was probably pencilling him in for

Call me crazy but if we happen to draft a high profiled center with our pick, I wouldn’t mind it one bit if we pulled a "Johansen for Jones" type of trade.

I want a top pairing dman in the worst way. If it means we have to sacrifice one of our 1st overall picks, so be it. Drafting them is probably the only way to go and yes, we have a couple of promising youngsters on the way but if you’d ask me if I’d rather have Hughes or Dahlin, I’d take Dahlin and the choice wouldn’t even that hard to make. Everything starts from the backend and having a mediocre defence will impact your offense as well. Adding Jamie Drysdale would be absolutely amazing for our franchise.

My perfect scenario would be to draft Jamie Drysdale with our pick and have someone like Perfetti or Rossi, because of his size, fall to #9-#10 with the Coyotes pick.

He better is injured because right now he looks like Zajac 2.0 and that's not a good building block if you want a potential cup winning team. He needs to break out next season. I love Nico but right now it's just not enough.

Yeah he had some dominant games up until Dallas and then went out for a few days and has dropped back and not been very noticeable since then.

 

[Patrik26]

Subban has been good. I'd keep him around.

I won't disagree he's been much better the past couple of months, but I'm still not a fan of the player.
