losing Zajac and replacing him with Josefson wont make a difference, both are terrible offensively

You are blind if you dont think it will make a difference. Its a massive downgrade

Zajac is still the best forward defensively and without him we suck at faceoffs.

I can understand that people are frustrated because of his lack of points, but this is crazy talk.

 

[MountainGoat]

nah not really, Zajac looks lost, he doesn't have chemistry with anyone on this team.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Its a team game. If marty blows, its a problem since being a goalie is a solo job.

Though for the rest of the crew havung some good aspects us vital. Its coaches job to make lines work.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Losing Zajac certainly isn't good, but he does not make or break our team. Not even close. We can win without him, especially if Henrique continues his great play as of late.

 

[Bleedred]

If Zajac is out tomorrow night you can probably count on Zach to torch us.

 

[NJD Kula]

Holding him out to trade him to the Wild for Heatley and a 1st?

Keke

That's the way I see it. We suck at faceoffs anyway, so Zajac's 50% won't really make the team automatically win or anything. Just saying.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

I think people have forgotten how bad Josefson was last year. Not that I like Zajac's game right now because I don't but hes still a much better hockey player than Josefson.

I could see this game going the opposite of what we want it to tonight so I'm not getting too cocky here. Nothing is going to come easy for this team. I'll take 2 points any way we can get them.

Maybe Minnesota would be stupid enough to trade him for Granlund.

This point of view is just as inane as the people who think Zajac's living up to his contract with a less than .5 PPG average over his past two seasons. While backchecking and winning faceoffs isn't the primary job of a forward, it's sure important - especially from the center position.

Comparing Zajac to Josefson defensively is like comparing Jagr to Tedenby offensively. That's not insignificant.

 

[SeidoN]

Kinky is backup

 

[njdevils1982]

Zajac is suppose to be at the very least our #2 center, he creates zero offense and has chemistry with no one

I don't care how good he is defensively, we have enough forwards that are responsible defensively

 

[SeidoN]

because we have noone better.

Enough defensively responsible forwards ??? I trust Elias,Henrique,Zubrus,Zajac and maybe, maybe Josefson........ Everyone else I would not want on the ice at the end of the game

 

[MountainGoat]

our team D is as good as anyone's

right now I would take Henrique, Elias or even Lokti over Zajac at center, at least Lokti as chemistry with his line mates and as shown some creativity

 

[Devils Trap]

Emery is playing today WOOOOO

WORST GOALIE IN THE NHL. He blows.

Taking Lokti over Zajac ??? Lol

i just saw that, i thought for sure they'd bench emery for tonight

 

[MountainGoat]

we should just switch Zajac to defense
