A 3rd or something I’d think. Maybe a 4th?

Nice! Thoughts on this move anyone?
I just think Nate is just vanilla for us at this point. Need a FO guy, Greer has had a good relationship with Fitzy

"Quinnipiac’s Collin Graf is down to a handful of finalists and could make a decision today or tomorrow. About 25 teams pursued the right-shot forward and 2-time Hobey Baker nominee. He cut them down and did Zooms with about 6 teams three weeks ago"

Fingers Crossed

Nothing higher than a 4th and Bastian should get that deal done, IF Greer asks for more then its a hard pass

Three weeks ago was March 12th.

Graf has played 5 games since

March 15 ECAC Quarterfinals (5-1 win over RPI)
March 16 ECAC Quarterfinals (5-2 win over RPI)
March 22 ECAC Semifinals (0-3 loss to St Lawrence)
March 29 NCAA first round (3-2 win over Wisconsin)
March 31 NCAA second round (4-5 loss to Boston College)

Three GM's were in attendance at his last two games in Providence: Dubas (PIT), Armstrong (ARI), and Fitzgerald (NJD).

BOS, CAR, NSH others had all sent GM's to watch Q'Pac play, but before March 12th.

Samu Salminen sounds like he is transferring to U Denver (his original commit before Broz bumped him).

Ive read conflicting reports on Boston being interested in him so i'll take that one with a grain of salt, I could see all those other teams being interested in him (why wouldnt they be) Im just hoping that the rags dont somehow lock him up, they seem to be having some luck with college free agents the last few days. Also sucks Quillan went to Toronto, i thought he could be really good in our system, could've even worked his way up to the big leagues one day

Mark Divver and Boston Hockey Now both say that Broons are out on Graf.

If I had to bet, Fitzgerald may target some bigs (Psenicka, Seger, etc)

Is that three own goals tonight?

Travis Green is not the guy

(He will probably be the guy)

But is not the guy

There’s no way he gets the job. Right?

Most likely gets the job
Was hired for this very scenario
But shouldn’t

The team has been horrific under him.

Nah, as bad as Lindy became, these new ways of losing are not helping. We just need Pitts to cool and not make it so Sully can be shown the door

I am saying that based on the higher probability that interim coaches have in becoming the guy. He is likely leader in clubhouse.

Odds for NJ Devils

1st overall pick.....3.5%
2nd overall pick...3.7%

Playoffs.................1.9%
Win 1st round......0.7%
Win 2nd round.....0.3%
Win ECF.................0.1%
Win Cup................0.1%

(so roughly 90% chance we miss playoffs and end up with pick in 9-13 range)

Bleeech!

Relax, Fitzgerald knows this is his absolute last chance to name a head coach, he also knows that if he doesnt absolutely nail the decision that he will be shown the door himself sooner rather than later. I think he has learned that his fate is tied to whoever he picks so i expect him to cast a wide net and come up with someone who will lead this team in the right direction. Fitzgerald talks a big game to the media while the season is going because he doesnt want to throw Green under the bus while we still have games to play, Green is not the guy and he knows that.

Down to 5 teams on Graf. NYR is out

That’s a win for Graf

Rempe is in lineup
MacDermid is in lineup

Predict the game time they face-off.

I'm going 0:02 into the 1st period.

I dunno about any of you but i loved EVERY second of that

Old school hockey at its finest

On another note, another absolute ****ter by markstrom against Anaheim yesterday. Now down to an 0.875 since valentine's day

MacDermid 1
Rempe 0

(won punch count, did more damage)

These announcers are brutal
