GDT: Flyers at Devils 1/3 - The Mark Fraser returns edition

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

The funny thing is a lot of Devil fans didn't like him the FIRST time around because he was always so jovial seemingly not taking anything seriously and he got compared to nails-intense Madden unfavorably. I was in the minority at the time (so I felt) that I actually liked his sense of humor.

I've never really minded players joking around with the media and stuff. I understand why some players don't, but I do have a soft spot for those who show a bit more personality around the cameras. I also am a bit sarcastic, so maybe that's why I used to like Gomez and he's growing on me again.

Not much has been said about him, but Merrill has been very solid as of late.

Anyone know where to find Road to the Winter Classic on On Demand? Can't find it

Epix website, just sign up for the free trial and watch it.

Hopefully Jagr continues to light it up as much as he can. There's gotta be a sucker GM out there that will cough up a first for him.

top 4 of Greene-Severson, Merrill-Larsson will happen soon enough

Sometimes a defenseman not drawing attention or comment is a great compliment in itself because it means he isn't making many mistakes.

Last year it would have been tough. If he manages to get 60 points or more maybe it's possible.

I'd go with Greene-Larsson, Merrill-Severson though. Regardless I dig it.

Hes got 25 points in 40 games. Not what he was last year but still a very serviceable 2nd liner on a good team. I really want Zidlicky packaged with him. Gotta find a way to get another first somehow.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Trades at the deadline for the most part are always for rentals. It shouldn't change the market value vastly for free agent forwards because he's 42 in my opinion.

 

[DenisSamson3]

Zubrus has only one more point than clowe!

It's a really good thing to look forward to in the second half. Between Larsson being benched/mumped early in the year, Merrill being hurt and now Severson hurt they haven't all been in the lineup at the same time.

It does because the older age by stereotype and in most cases it's true, slows a player down come playoff time

Yeah, this team has stinky luck with injuries and illness. Hopefully our young defensemen can stay healthy in the second half so we can enjoy watching them.

That is both hilarious and sad at the same time.

 

[MadDevil]

It also depends on where the team trading for him is. If they feel he's that last piece to push them over the top, they might be willing to part with a late first rounder. Or if somebody suffers an injury and desperately needs a veteran they might pay a little more. I'm not sure how willing teams are going to be to part with a first this year though.

Hes under contract for another year, lol.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Hes under contract for another year, lol.

After that I hope we see the back of him. Ugh. What a source of aggravation he is.

The re signing of him might be worse than Salvador.

I'm not saying we definitely shouldn't have re signed him, just that signing him for 3 years was absolutely unnecessary.

I loved that he wanted to stay and signed before free agency, but I doubt anybody else gives him 3 years if he hit the market that year.

He should have only been re signed for one or two years max.

 

[MadDevil]

Zubrus doesn't really bother me that much. It's not like he's getting paid some ridiculous amount of money that's preventing us from making further moves. Does he get used too much? Probably. But the same could be said for half the roster.

 

[liquid1988]

So it's 1130 and Jagr is the last player in the building. Only 4 of us remain waiting for him outside. Talk about dedication by him man... Probably still on the ice skating...

His work ethic is admirable.

Got Jagr's signature and picture! He didn't really seem too enthusiastic about he game. I'm assuming it's his feeling about this entire season in general...

He said he didn't feel very good in the interview with Deb after the game. Hopefully it's just the flu or something and not yet another case of mumps.

Hopefully for liquid it's not the mumps...
