New Jersey Devils General Discussion (Team/Player/Trade Rumors/Speculation/News)

[Nubmer6]

I'm wondering if there's anyone that's going to be put on waivers that WE could poach. Someone that's better than Tedneby/Urbom/Gio/Harrold that we could use right away.

 

[njdevil26]

You have to think all GMs are looking out for something like that. I don't know how the waiver wire is situated at the beginning of the season. Does it go by last year's standings?

I just have to think a trade happens this morning. I can't see Lou backed into a corner having to waive someone he doesn't want to lose to waivers just because he couldn't make anything else happen. That would be a failure on his part.

Some good quotes from Ranger fans on the Devils

Everyone is concerned with NJ's offense but I see many more problems with their D. Adam Larsson better step up or that defense will be just as much of a joke as their offense. The only competent d-man on that team is Andy Greene, and I wouldn't take him on this team for free, because every defenseman we have in our top 6 is better than him. Bryce Salvador does an "ok" job defending, but can not do anything else. Volchenkov is slow as molasses and not nearly as feared as he once was, and provides no offense at all. Zidlicky is their MA Bergeron, he should only play on the powerplay, absolutely no other situation should he be on the ice if they want to win. Urbom is good for punching and hitting people but that's again not what the devils need, they need a puck carrier and someone to create some semblance of offense from the back. I just see them as a totally mediocre team that only has a chance because Schneider is a great goalie.

This NJ defense was the exact same as the one the beat NYR in the conference finals. Since then Larsson/Greene/Fayne have gotten only better and while Volchenkov/Salvador may of taken a step back its covered by the Schneider acquisition. The ignorance of some Ranger fans in staggering. And this guy wouldn't take Andy Greene for free?!

Idk....I have a feeling Tedenby, Volchenkov, and/or Josefson are gone today.... in a trade.

Wouldn't mind if Ted was moved, but I don't wanna give up on Josefson yet. I don't think Lou would move 2 former 1st rounders in a day

 

[njdevil26]

Urbom is only good for punching and hitting people? He's gotten into ONE fight and hardly hits people... ever.

i don't think trading him is giving up on him in the sense, it just seems that way because devils have not traded any one really useful in the last few years. so for us to trade a guy we all think and want to see do good is crazy to us. but if he is packaged to bring in someone much better it would be pretty nice.

we have just gotten use to trading our fat for less fat and signing at FA. correct me if im wrong but i believe the last time we had a decent size trade where we lost guys we liked was Kovy. At the time at least.

 

[njdevil26]

The thing I want to see is Loktionov play over Josefson. I like Jo.... but I think Loktionov is a better hockey player and provides more offense. This team needs offense and not a guy that is going to come close to scoring 20 times and maybe get a goal or two. Met Loktionov at the barbecue yesterday. While he seems like a smaller guy, dude is absolutely jacked.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I think Lokti is better than Josefson too, but I want them both. I could see Josefson moving to wing and becoming a great two-way 3rd line lw. He'll never be the guy we thought he'd be(top 6 point producing two way player) but I think he can be a 40ish point 3rd liner.

 

[Bleedred]

Will we know by 12:30 who got waived? I'm going out at 12:30 and will be gone for the better part of the day.

 

[njdevil26]

Should be 12pm just a few minutes now.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

wouldnt take Andy Greene for free cracked me up

the Rangers #4 DMan got cut from the Devils, remember that.

 

[Devils Trap]

Waiver moves starting

Interesting to see who goes

 

[njdevil26]

Hmmm.




HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Devils Trap]

Hey our good ole pal Patrice Cormier is on waivers

LMAO Kreider is toooo LOOOOOOOL (Not waivers, but sent down)

 

[njdevil26]

Correction... Kreider is exempt from waivers... but he was sent to Hartford.

Still... HAHAHAHA

 

[Status Quo*]

I hope someone claims Kreider MWAHAHA

 

[Devils Trap]

I hope someone claims Kreider MWAHAHA

He is exempt, he was sent down

 

[njdevil26]

Hey if Kreider WAS on waivers, the Devils should claim him. He'd be a good second or third liner in Albany.

 

[Status Quo*]

He is exempt, he was sent down

Dammit... but still LOL
