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.
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.
Idk....I have a feeling Tedenby, Volchenkov, and/or Josefson are gone today.... in a trade.
Some good quotes from Ranger fans on the Devils
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?!
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
I hope someone claims Kreider MWAHAHA
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.
Kreider on waivers...
Hmmm.
HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
