Thread: Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBA</b></div><div>I get people don’t like Anderson contract but Holtz did ****all at the NHL level while Anderson score goals, skate fast &amp; hits hard. Yeah he is overpaid. Yeah he can’t pass. Yeah Holtz might have a better career than Anderson. But right now, Anderson is more valuable than Holtz. Yes this trade is bad, not structured at all. Just wanted to make something clear on Josh Anderson the player, not the overpaid 2nd/3rd liner making 5.5M</div></div>

Feels to much like Erat for Forsberg. I'm not as a high on Holtz as I used to be but if he turns into a nothing-burger I think the Devils would still take that and the future/ current cap flexibility over Anderson.

I do like Anderson as a player just not at that cap hit/ length.

Thread: Boston Bruins signed John Farinacci (2 Years / $950,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CSStrowbridge</b></div><div>Yep, and that's really, REALLY bad news for Arizona. They have to get their **** sorted out soon, or they will enter a death spiral. No player will want to sign with them, so they won't have enough talent on the ice to sell tickets, making it impossible to find a permanent home, which will result in fewer players who will want to sign with them, etc.</div></div>

ARZ just had 3 guys resign with them that they traded at the deadline. They're not a top destination but players will sign with them.

Plus they are sticking to the plan of rebuilding, Chayka rushed it Armstrong looks committed to the long term: probably finish 20-25th this year in the standings, move Dumba, Zucker, Brown, Stretcher, O'Brien, Boyd, Dermott at the deadline, take on more bad contracts to hopefully get a 1st round pick, and repeat for 1-2 more years and wait for some of the prospects to develop. It's not fast but I like what they are doing a lot.

Thread: Another Hellebuyck trade because I want everyone to hate me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jets12Kozy</b></div><div>Not saying I think they're going to win but that return isn't worth not atleast trying imo another year under bones system, wheeler out of the top 6, Brossoit coming in as backup, nice 2 way horse adds in Iafallo and Villardi replacing lazy bones Dubois, a healthy Perfetti all positives in my book.

If you watched the first game against Vegas and Winnipeg in the playoffs they dominated without Ehlers, then lost Scheifele and Morrissey and didn't stand much of a chance with those loses to the lineup, people sleep on the Jets core</div></div>

The Jets core is good but I feel the reason the Jets haven't started rebuilding is Cheveldayoff has been there for 12 year with only 3 rounds won is on the hot seat now. If they don't do anything this year he might be gone.

Thread: Devilman Crybaby and Hellboy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>Over pay would be paying more than Meier is worth....I'd much rather have a dollar than four quarters. Zetterlund at best is a 3rd line winger. Muk MAYBE is a #4 D? And those two picks are total unknowns if they will amount to anything. I'd much rather have Meier than all those assets. Meier means more to this team now than any of those would combined.</div></div>

It felt/ feels like an overpay. If Meier helps win a cup/ scores 30+ goals a season for the next 6 years less so.

I like both trades for Meier/ Toffoli, but now prospect pool looks shallow for high-end talent and possibly no 1st for two years in a row is worrying. (11 of the 23 players on the CapFriendly roster are 1st rounders including Lazar and Smith).

Thread: My Devils lineup for next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kogger</b></div><div>Quick will be pricey... and Daws has enough NHL experience to be a vet for younger guys like Brennan and/or anyone else that will be in the pipeline. It may not be enough for some but the fact that we had 7 fookin goalies 2 seasons ago we gave out a lot of experience to our rookies/acquistions. Kinkaid is a great locker room guy but I think we gotta stick to our playbook.

Also I hate your username considering Shero is at least 55% responsible for the success of this team.</div></div>

I just prefer a veteran goalie in the AHL if you can get one.


Also if I remember correctly I was drunk and hated the Subban trade. In hindsight Shero did decent but I think he tried to jumpstart the rebuild to quickly and took 1 step forward 2 steps back, but it did get the Devils Hughes soo...
