come on now lol

Good, skilled player but I think he came to NA too late and wasn't able to adapt to NHL.

Good luck to him!

 

[ScottyK]

Best of luck, too much skating in Ruffs system for him

 

[FinnishDevil]

Hopefully he gets signed by someone like Minnesota. No hard feelings over him really, seemed like a great guy but didnt work with Ruff at all.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Good player, but overthank a lot of simple plays.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Crazy how good he looked in second half of last season.

Crazy how bad he looked this season.


Thats all that can be said about this player.

Talks of re-signing to resigning over the course of a couple months is ruff....

 

[Ripshot 43]

Zajac, Palmeri, Goose... all such great long term Devils

Talks of re-signing to resigning over the course of a couple months is ruff....

Yep, fine distinction.

Thanks for the short memories Goose.....

Russia bound.

Have a odd feeling Gusev ends up in Pittsburgh after clearing

 

[Clam Jensen]

He skates like Bratt if Bratt hadn’t shit in 6 months.

[Traitor Zach]

OMG - What are we going to do with this continued "veteran" purge!

 

[Guttersniped]

Wow, I thought it was a bad signing due to value, not a bad signing due to him not being able to keep a spot on our roster.

Maybe he checked out at this point and Ruff it would be for him to not bring vibe down on a young roster. And I thought he would be good influence last year because he’s such a smart player. (I’m not saying he’s a bad guy, players check out for a lot of reasons.)

Back on track.. new goals:


NHL .500

Best Rangers or Flyers.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Russia bound.

He's going to get a shot with another team, and I could see him succeeding in the right position. This could actually be a nice add for a team that's looking for some offensive pop that doesn't want to spend at the deadline.

He wasn't going to work here in Ruff's system, especially with a team so heavily reliant on offense off the rush.

This is also an added benefit of getting the Palmieri deal done early.

Not sure how much Goose will affect the winger trade market, but he could be a fallback option for some teams.

If they're still dangling Palmieri, I wonder if they make this move?

 

[devilsblood]

Surprising they couldn't get a 6th rounder or something.

 

[devilsblood]

This also bring down the average age amongst the fwds. And that has been a fun statistic.
