Thread: My Devils lineup for next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireShero</b></div><div>Parise no, Schneider/ Kinkaid I wouldn't mind as a 3rd goalie. Get someone familiar with the system, willing to play in the AHL, mentor Daws, and sit on the bench for a couple games in case of injury while letting Daws play in the AHL.

Quick would be ideal (playoff experience) but don't know if he want to sign with the Devils and would have to carry 3 goalies I'd think.</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.

Thread: TAKE A CHANCE ON MUH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Possible, but remember the Kings got to the trade deadline in a playoff spot with Copley as their starter, they just need to make it to the trade deadline with two goalies, I don't see Blackwood being a world breaker for LA. If we can get a Andersen, Hill, Ullmark, or similar type of #1 goalie, we'll move Arvidsson, otherwise let's just go with a budget goalie until the deadline.</div></div>

Blackwoods gonna have a hard time demanding a contract and could come cheap, he really doesnt have any leverage other than his RFA status but his stats as of late have been shakey. That said hes a solid depth goalie and could shock some people not to the level of a championship but steal a couple of close games

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>If you want to try and explain Binnington's season solely by looking at stats, you're just going to be way off in your assessment. The team in front of him was the problem, up to and including the 30 (!!!) goals they accidentally kicked/gloved/batted/deflected past him. That's literally one every two starts. All the wide open back door tap ins. All the terrible turnovers in the D zone. Binnington had his bad nights, but for the most part he played damn well last season. Without him, they would have a top 3 pick right now instead of #10.

As for his temper or whatever you want to call it, it happens when he gets run or otherwise jabbed/slashed/elbowed in the head, which happens a lot more than it should. And usually without a penalty called. The whole thing about Binnington being crazy or whatever is totally overwrought pearl clutching eight or nine times out of 10. Kadri injures him and knocks him out of the playoff without punishment, but people want to fall on their fainting couches because Binnington tossed an empty water bottle in the general direction of Kadri. It's ridiculous. Thank goodness these hothouse flowers never saw Roy play or Joseph or Belfour or Hextall of Smith or or or or...</div></div>

Sure the team was bad in front of him but you guys arent in that bad a position for contention especially in your division; probably need a fwd or 2 for some depth same for dman. You guys will be back in the playoff convo next year be it 3d in your division or WC at minimum.
