Confirmed with Link: Pat Maroon to NJ for 2019 3rd and J. D. Dudek

[BahlDeep]

This team depth is getting underrated. In our division, IMO, only Pittsburgh have that much depth up front.

 

[Devil X]

I would just like to take a moment to thank Lou for his wonderful parting gift. While Lou took some heat at the end of his time with us, he gave us Ray Shero and right now thats likely his best move of his last 3 or 4 seasons with the Devils.

So thank you Lou.

Top is Rick Nash for the past three years. Below is Patrick Maroon for the past three years. Both are big, slower LW that are more of a shooter than playmaker with Nash probably better defensively but Maroon stronger up front / along the boards.

The difference in cost between the two is ridiculous.

fast and greasy 4th line

When did this become a thing in hockey lingo? I feel like I cant get through an entire block of an NHL highlight reel without hearing this word all-of-a-sudden.

It's become the "active stick" of 2018.

 

[None Shall Pass]

In case you all were wondering, I tried to make some lyrics from that "This Love" song by Maroon 5 to praise this trade just now but it was really terrible and I scrapped it.

Just know that I was trying for you guys.

Agree on the price but calling Rick Nash slow is wild

I've said it, I think Maroon is arguably a better player than Grabner, so big fan of this.

Greasy.

Active Stick.

One word comes to my mind :



DEODORANT.

I think in terms of fit on this team, Grabner is better. He's also a great PKer and creates goals regardless of who his linemates are. But Maroon was a good pickup. His size/grit/scoring touch combination was something we really didn't have.

I think they aren't comparable. Both bring a different element.

And to be honest, we badly needed grit.

Boston paid for the name of rick Nash, as an oiler fan I am definitely looking forward to seeing hall and maroon in the playoffs.

You guys will like maroon, can play up and down the lineup and his teammates will love him aswell.

As an oiler fan I think I’d rather a 7th in 2030 instead of dudek

Society thanks you.

Society thanks you.

I'll accept that on the basis that I get credit for being somewhat clever.

I don’t remember if it was that 1 or the 1 in 2003 (I’m inclined to say ’03) but I almost died of heat exhaustion lol. I remember stopping at the first place we saw on the way home (wendy’s) where I downed 5 bottles of water and 2 large sodas in the span of about 30 minutes. i'm still peeing those out to this day.

actually im 99% sure it was ’03. 2000 was the one where they blared a snippet of filter’s ‘take a picture’ over and over again while they waited for the players to come out. like, seriously on loop for 45 minutes, speaker was right next to my ear. it’s crazy the random things you remember from things.

I can't separate the two in my mind, but I know at the 2000 one there was some minor concern that Lou might leave to GM Boston, or that Larry might not want to come back as coach, and there were chants of something encouraging them both to stay.

Grabner: Hope he is Friesen 2.0. Might end up Chorske2.0.
Maroon: Hope he is Andreychuk 2.0. (our older version) Might end up Ponikarovsky 2.0.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I wish I could like this more than once

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Ah crap, does this mean he is signing over near St Louis?? And im curious why doesnt his family follow him, are him and his wife divorced or something?

Given how long Andreychuk's career lasted, I'm not sure Devils' Andreychuk really counts as "older" Andreychuk...

Probably doesn't want to pull his kid out of school and his friends. Also probably easier to support his wife and kid if other family members are around there.

Let me guess - you don't have kids?
