Confirmed with Link: Nikita Gusev (VGK) to NJD (2020 3rd, 2021 2nd)

Obligatory highlight reel

 

[Brodeur]

There's already some sort of deal in place for our annual WWE Night. I'm sure they'll figure something out.

Between that and Subban's Ric Flair robe.......which I might be silly enough to try to get for myself.

Other silly name ideas:

Texas Rattlesnake / Stone Cold Blake Coleman
John Hayden of the Mean Street Posse (he's from Greenwich, CT)
"Abdullah" Will Butcher

Maybe convince Rick Nash to come out of retirement to play a few games with Taylor Hall.

 

[BenedictGomez]

lol the numbers added to this team in the offseason. 76, 86, 90, 97

 

[Patrik26]

I don't have all that $$$ to be shelling out for jerseys. 86, 76, 17, 97. Maybe a quad jersey?

 

[OmNomNom]

I think that largely depends on what we get from Subban.

I still think the defense is terribly ill-conceived. I have said it in the past I will say it again, I don't think the players are bad, I just think they don't fit together. It is thrown together in a mixed up fashion with no real vision in my opinion.

i don't think we clash, stylistically. it's not like we're throwing together a ton of grinders with skill guys and fighters. that stupid fast attacking supportive thing is legitimately what we seem to be building towards

i do think we could still shore up the top pairing (greene still needs to be pushed down), but we'll see what we can do w our prospects. you have to admit the future is brighter, even if you do look at it with some tentativeness

 

[AfroThunder396]

GOOSE IS LOOSE

 

[GameSeven]

Watch his KHL highlights. He's like a mini-Kovalchuk.

Crazy he ended up here.

You'll give Jim a conniption at this rate...

 

[manilaNJ]

I cant believe people actually memed a player trade into existence. Mad lads.

Devils Twitter has been emboldened... I already feel bad for the Devils social media manager

 

[Patrik26]

listening to an old interview, someone said his game's comparable to datsyuk lol oh snap

THUD!

 

[aboriginal]

Temper ur shit people. This could be complete shit. Also, it’s getting crowded up there, especially if broqvist makes the team. Are we moving a forward and a dman for an upgrade on defense? Is shero done? Has anyone seen that damn sasquatch?

Always nice to have a bit of depth on offense because injuries are likely

 

[Patrik26]

Taylor? You paying attention son?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

 

[Shadow001]

Have you seen the defense?

I’ve lurked here since you were “Jim EIV” with the mountain man avatar or whatever it was, and I’ve always wanted to do this:

This f’n guy.....

 

[The 29th Pick]

now all we need is a REAL coaching staff !

 

[EXTRAS]

someone on reddit:

Hall-Hischier-Palms
Gusev-Hughes-Bratt
Boqvist-Zacha-Simmonds
Coleman-Zajac-Wood

This is quite a good lineup, actually. And their defense is improving too.

Could be quite good soon if some of their prospects can take solid jumps this year or next.

 

[Patrik26]

Hall-Nico-Bratt
Gusev-Hughes-Palmieri
Wood-Zacha-Simmonds
Coleman-Zajac-Anderson

my goodness

wow I forgot about Boqvist, I don't even know where he fits in right now.

Speaking of, this lineup gives me some and then some.

 

[Patrik26]

Farnham-Gionta-Tootoo .... ahhhh those memories seem so long ago.

 

[AfroThunder396]

2015:
Andy Greene, Marek Zidlicky, Adam Larsson, Damon Severson, Jon Merrill, Eric Gelinas, Peter Harrold

2020:
PK Subban, Damon Severson, Sami Vatanen, Andy Greene, Ty Smith, Will Butcher, Mirco Mueller

Please tell me more about how Shero ruined the defense.

The defense certainly needs work, but it's much better than it was.

 

[JK3]

Holy crap, bombarding the Devils Twitter with goose pics worked lmao.
