GDT: Poop: Devils @ Predators, 8 PM, MSG+

[SteveCangialosi123]

Who should they picked then since this is how you've been the last few days

Kakko has been one of the worst players in the NHL so I’m not sure it’s him

 

[The Devil In I]

A goalie for Hall would be the worst return possible.

A goalie on its own yes, but for example I'd be happier with a top goalie prospect as the basis of a return (like a Primeau) than I would like a Jost. A Jost would be largely redundant compared to goalie, which may be our biggest need right now (though a top LHD is close)

 

[glenwo2]

here we go... " we played with good effort' blah blah blah ... this team has now officially accepted being door mats... nice job shero.. go back to pittsburgh..

They should be called the NJ Stepping Stones.


'Cause that's what teams do to them : Step all over them to get to the next game and a Real NHL team.

I think the larger point is losing for picks is a moronic way to build a team.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

What kind of logic is that? The Devils knew Nico's cap hit would be 925k + bonuses this year. If they were good PK would be part of the reason why. And it still wouldn't have prevented the Devils from signing Hall. There is no penalty for being close to the cap.

Whoever said the Devils would not be able to resign Hall? I never thought re signing Hall was all that important so I do not know why you keep bringing that up to me.

 

[Devils090]

This team is absolute trash, get rid of all of them

So you think they purposely tanked last year?

 

[JK3]

Nashville looked like ass, any other team beats them tonight. There comes a time when just need to win a f***ing game, I don't care how, ugly, pretty, lucky, whatever just win FFS.

I don't like the feeling I'm getting that it's just about coaching, we need 3 maybe 4 defensemen lol and a competent goalie at least, not so sure our forward group can get it done either.

hall for glenn hall….lets go!

 

[glenwo2]

Blackwood is a competent NHL goalie.. thats the best we got

Scott, I am almost tempted to just bring up one of our other Goaltenders in our system to back up Mac 'cause he can't do any worse than Domingue, right?

 

[NJDevs26]

Welp we thought Domingue couldn't possibly be as bad as Cory....strike one.

 

[Patrik26]

No it's not chump change. But let me see your crystal ball predicting that the Devils/Pk would struggle this much come December as to not justify that trade. They took on the whole 9 million because they didn't have to give up a prime asset that way. None of you bring that up when talking about the 9 mil. PK didn't have a great year last year but he was one season removed from a norris trophy finalist season.

It's not chump change but it doesn't prevent the Devils from making any moves. The Devils effectively took 7.6 million in cap from that trade because they sent Santini the other way.

I never predicted the struggles, but I wasn't on board with acquiring Subban long BEFORE the trade was made. You can look it up. As far as the $7.6 million, that couldn't be used elsewhere? Really?

Let's get rid of the Franchise while we're at it.

 

[captainscott]

I’ve never disliked any devils teams in past seasons. I actually dislike this one. I have a hard time rooting for them to succeed. I think dislike is actually the wrong word...I think a better descriptor is I don’t respect them. They look like they don’t even belong in the NHL.

I’m certain the coaching staff is bush league, but it’s getting harder and harder to distinguish where that ends and ****ty players along with garbage leadership and culture begins.

yeah they are not hockey players..

Hughes
Hischier
Coleman
Bovquist

Vats
Severs
Blackwood

Build around that group... everyone else is up for grabs

 

[R8Devs]

because you still haven't brought up what PK's cap hit is preventing the Devils from doing

They haven't been able or willing to use it elsewhere in four years.

because you still haven't brought up what PK's cap hit is preventing the Devils from doing

From banking cap for a fifth year and having even more complaints about ownership.

 

[Billdo]

A goalie on its own yes, but for example I'd be happier with a top goalie prospect as the basis of a return (like a Primeau) than I would like a Jost. A Jost would be largely redundant compared to goalie, which may be our biggest need right now (though a top LHD is close)

I think Primeau would be a nice get if he comes with a 1st because I'm not sure Montreal makes the players and having two lottery balls is better than 1.

 

[glenwo2]

Welp we thought Domingue couldn't possibly be as bad as Cory....strike one.

I want Evan Cormier(is he still a Devils Goaltender?) or whomever we have down there in the Minor leagues to be brought up.

He may struggle but at least he'll be getting a shot as opposed to a Goaltender who we all know sucks.

 

[Patrik26]

Maybe it's Erica Wachter that's the problem? Two years of Erica, two suck years. Bring back Deb Placey.

 

[R8Devs]

where is that 7.6 million going to be used? Tyler Myers? Or just unused cap?

 

[glenwo2]

Now we've entered I'm-on-drugs mode.

If Cormier's a real prospect I don't want him subjected to this mess. Might as well have a vet scrub to take the bullets when Blackwood needs a rest. Bad enough we have to risk ruining him cause there's nobody else here.

no goalie in our system has above a .900 sv% they’re all trash

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

because you still haven't brought up what PK's cap hit is preventing the Devils from doing

If you do not understand that giving a player 10% of your cap who cannot play anywhere close to that level can prevent a team from bringing in other players/make other moves you are not worth my keystrokes,

that doesn't leave much lol ... coaching goalies defenseman and forwards and then we are good? ok ... ok ..
